Two weeks had passed since the last time I had seen him, the day I kissed Richard in front of him and then there was that fight, two weeks had passed and I thought Jason was going to forget me and g
Laura I was in disbelief at all the nonsense Jason was saying. A kiss? Did he want me to kiss him to clear the project? Good heavens, Jason was unbelievable! "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you asking me?" I asked, quite surprised by what he just said. I hadn't kissed him in about five years. Ho

Lindsay POV We arrived at the hotel after a night that still echoed in me like a good dream. Wyatt was exhausted, which wasn’t surprising after such an eventful day at the Weiss house. He fell asleep almost immediately after I put him to bed, a slight smile on his face that made me feel that, despi
Lindsay POV The dinner was a marvel, an experience that felt like a warm hug in the form of food and company. Emma Weiss insisted that I try every dish she had prepared with such care, and I couldn’t deny how much it made me feel welcomed. "My lasagna recipe is famous," she said with a proud smile,
