“I couldn’t resist coming to see you,” I admitted, my eyes shining with unshed tears. Brian was never one to show his emotions openly, but in that moment, I could see the genuine happiness in his eyes. It made my heart flutter with joy. “I’m glad that I have a face that makes you want to come back
I knew I had to talk to Brian, to finally get some clarity on where our relationship was heading. It was time to confront my fears and have an honest conversation about what we both wanted. Brian must have noticed the distant look on my face because he reached out to hold my hand. His touch was rea
My tears flowed uncontrollably down my face as Brian spoke. Despite the sincerity in his words, it felt like he was ending our relationship. The pain was unbearable. “Brian,” I cried, unable to hold back my emotions. Brian wiped away my tears and gave me a gentle kiss on the forehead before standin
Blurb:As Ava and Brian take their relationship to the next level, they must navigate the complexities of their intergenerational romance. Though their love for each other runs deep, the real question remains—will Ava’s parents accept Brian as an equal partner for their daughter?The significant age
[AVA]I gaze at the ring in my hand, overwhelmed with a feeling of absolute euphoria.It’s been three months since Brian popped the question in his fancy penthouse, and every second since that day has been nothing short of sheer bliss.If you had told me a few years ago that Brian Reinhold would fal
“You know,” Brian whispers softly, his voice carrying a hint of amusement, “we’re becoming experts at this sneaky morning rendezvous.”I chuckle, feeling a surge of affection for him. “I guess we are. It’s like our secret little world before the chaos of the day begins.”His grip tightens around me,
[BRIAN]After dropping off Ava at her workplace, I headed straight to Kian’s school.It had been two days since I last saw him, and before leaving for Thailand later in the evening, I wanted to spend some quality time with him. I had already spoken to the principal, who agreed to give me a few hours
I let out a sigh, stretching my neck from side to side. “I tried calling him, but he’s always caught up in something. I sent him a text, though. Let’s hope he actually checks it. You never know with Mason.”“So, what’s been going on in your world lately?” I asked, hoping to divert the conversation a
[AVA]“Nope! Still not picking up his phone,” Sean says, shaking his head, trying his damnedest to keep it together.I can’t blame him. If Brian walked out on me this way, I would freak out like hell. Fuck, I don’t even know what I would do. I would probably have a meltdown or something.Perhaps tha
[MAX]I’m ready to take a break and hand over the counter to Patrick when the rainbow girl walks into the café/diner, and the bell chimes over her head.Her eyes find mine in an instant, and I stop whatever I’m doing for reasons I don’t even want to know.“Hey!” She walks over to me, leans on the co
[AVA]“It’s a great idea,” I say to him, finally realizing that it’s never the gift that matters, it’s the intention. And Sean loves Aaron; he only wants the best for him.Sean looks so damn relieved, tears twinkling in his eyes.“Oh, thank God!” He chuckles, nervously running a hand through his dar
I chuckle. “I’d love that, but I’m not sure Aaron would appreciate being put on the spot.”“Don’t worry, I’ll work my magic,” Sean winks and heads toward the kitchen, leaving me alone in the living room.I wander over to the bookcase, running my fingers over the spines of Sean’s collection. He has a
[AVA]“Brian was right, this is a very bad idea,” I mumble to myself as I stand outside the apartment Sean and Aaron share. And yes, let me remind you this is the same apartment where Sean found Aaron furiously making out with his sister.And yes, I should not have thought about that because now the
[AVA]“I’ll miss you,” I say once Brian and I step into the elevator of his penthouse.Kian and Mason are already downstairs, waiting for us. But Brian, being Brian, needed a moment to “make it up” to me for the whole two weeks he would be absent.I’m excited for him. I swear, I am. And yet, when I
[BRIAN]Time for some honesty: I’m terrified of what I’m about to do.Rock/Mountain climbing, I’m not sure if I’m made for such stuff. I mean, sure, I love treks and long walks and boating and camping and driving and all that stuff but climbing a mountain? That sounds a little stretch, even for me.
We pull back and Brian glares at his twin brother, who in turn, winks at us, making sure we know he has only been kidding. “We are heading to the next store. Think you can take your make-out session on the go?”Brian flips him off and Mason laughs, walking away with Kian in tow.Kian looks over his
[AVA]“I can’t believe you agreed to this.”“Trust me, I can’t believe it either.”I chuckle, not able to help myself. I would have loved to see Brian climbing a mountain, but I can’t, and that makes me sad. But maybe I’ll have better luck next time. I just hope Brian will be as willing to take part
