Laura But Jason couldn't take it; it seemed like he was more prone to crying than me. “Obviously,” he said through laughter. “I’ve never been so sure in my life that I want to spend the rest of my days by your side.” “So let's be crazy together until old age,” I said, slipping the ring on his ring

Laura So, after regularizing the entire situation at the clinic, Jason and I took my mother to the car and then took her to the mansion. Her responsible psychiatrist explained to us what clinical situation she was in and what was necessary for a possible recovery, but with nothing guaranteed yet. H
Laura The next morning, it was Jason who woke me up, and I had to lie in bed for a while thinking about what had happened. The day before had been a show of revelations: we had revealed the sex of our babies, who would both be boys; I had asked Jason to marry me; and the icing on the cake had been

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,

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
