Laura So in the days that followed, eventually Jason and I started to become closer and closer to each other. It was gratifying to see the way he was trying hard to please me, he made me coffee, opened the car door for me, and was always kind to me. Much to my pleasure, he also started to help me t
Laura The days that followed after the holidays were very relaxing and comfortable for me. We were still in Chicago, with Jason encouraging me to stay a little longer and enjoy that feeling of the beginning of the year with him, which was wonderful. Forgiving him and taking him back was like havi
But today he was here reading Infernal Devices with me, although he was getting upset every minute because of the fantasy content of the book. “Ugh, wizards and vampires? That doesn’t even exist, this book must be for children, that’s all,” he said, which made me laugh at his reaction. "What'll I
Laura I watched as Jason, with the help of the instructor, put Annie's life jacket on and prepared her to get into the boat. When they were inside the boat, they both waved to me, and Jason paddled out while Rosanne and I waved back. “Good heavens. They're so cute, I've never seen Jason as radian
Laura "So, what is the solution?" I asked Jason while we were in the room alone, and he was standing with his back to me, staring at the window with a tired look. As soon as he and Annie returned from the canoe trip beaming because they had managed to catch some fish on the banks of the lake, Ros
Ava “So, what was the result?” Terrence asked as he saw me leave the bathroom and head towards the bedroom. He was sitting on the bed with an apprehensive look as he looked at me expectantly. I shook my head briefly in the negative. “There’s nothing,” I said, and I saw him sighing, looking defeat
Jason “Are you still in touch with her?” Laura asked while she had her head lying on my chest. She and I were lying lazily in bed, taking advantage of that prime time in the early hours of the morning to exchange caresses and talk about our fears and concerns. She was asking about Kendall, wanting
I blinked, trying to process what he was saying. "But what if... what if I mess it all up again? I’m not perfect, Matt. I have my flaws, my scars." He smiled, a smile both gentle and confident. "No one’s perfect, Lindsay. I’m not either. But you know what? My dad, Killian... he’s not my biological
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,
Lindsay POV The weekend in Atlanta had a taste of novelty and nervousness. Matt had invited me to dinner at his mother's house, Emma Weiss, and the idea of meeting his family left me in a state of anxiety mixed with anticipation. I had never met the parents of someone I was dating since, well, sinc
Laura POV Jason and Terence were terrible singers, but that didn't stop them from diving into karaoke, hitting every note off-key while making their wives laugh with their comedic performance. Ava and I, now alone in a VIP area of the bar, continued the celebration of our daughters' entry into col
Laura POV"This strawberry drink is delicious," I commented, sipping my drink through a straw."Oh, nice. My pineapple one is really irresistible," Ava also commented, smiling, though the smile was somewhat reserved and awkward, just like mine.We were at a luxurious bar, a place that contrasted wit
As we walked, I thought about what Abby had said. It wasn't Caleb who mattered; it was the betrayal of a friendship I thought would last forever. The pain of losing that trust was still fresh, and perhaps that was why I didn't want to think about Caleb at all. But at the same time, there was a part
Annie POV I watched my parents' car drive away with a sense of sadness; part of me wanted to go with them and give up on everything, but I was also excited to start a new life at Oxwell. The sound of the engine fading into the distance seemed to carry away a piece of my childhood, leaving me with a
