Camilla walked into the courthouse, wrapped up nicely, and warm in her fur coat and thick woollen slacks with a polar neck jumper and boots. The winter was well setting in, and the snow would start to fall anytime now. Waiting for her name to be called, she spotted Steven. "Hi," she greeted him, friendly. After all, they still had to co-parent their two children. "Hi," he said back, smiling at her, "how are you and the kids doing?" "We are okay," she answered civilly, "and you?" "I'm doing okay, I got another job," he explained, "Camilla, can we stop the divorce. I don't want to do this," he p

The morning arrived quickly. Steven was having the children. It was Christmas. The Saturday, he received a phone call from Chris, Tamara's father, "Steven, since you have been considered family for a while now, I'm going to let you stay in the house until the end of the month, but in the new year you need to be out," he didn't intend on holding a long back and forth conversation."Yes sir," he said in despair. Steven hadn't thought about moving again, and he knew that he could never afford the rental on this property.Later in the morning, he tried contacting Tamara. She eventually answered her phone. "Steven, we are finished. I am finished. Everything I have done has been to my own detriment or demise. I was ousted from the family. I have nothing. We would never have worked.

The new year rang in, and well wishes were sent all around. Eventually, everyone left, and the family managed to get some rest. Morgan had slept right through the night despite all the noise downstairs. Later that morning, as was custom in the Jones family, they were all going to gather for a new year meal. Usually, they would go to Aunt Ruby and Uncle Chris's place. This year, the tide changed, and everyone would be assembling at their place. The family had not gone home after the ball. Everyone had slept over. Around 10 that morning, everyone was up and busying themselves in the kitchen, preparing for the grand lunch. While the women were working in the kitchen, the men gathered in the living room, each enjoying a warm cup of hot chocolate and having a good conversation. The children were busy playing with Morgan in the walking ring. While preparing the meal, Camilla asked the others, "Did anyone other than myself, Tamara and the children notice that strange gentleman that ca

Everyone had masks on their faces, so unless you knew what mask each one was wearing that evening, it would have been difficult to identify a specific person. Camilla had on a queen's mask, while Bradford had the mask of a king. By the time all the guests had arrived and had been given a glass in hand, the host and hostess entered the ballroom. First they mingled with guests, and then it was time for Bradford to make the introductory welcome speech."Ladies and Gentlemen, as we dawn on a new year, let's reflect and be thankful for the year we exit out of. Friends have been made, loved ones lost," he said, holding his wife dear and near to him, "couples uniting and business thriving. One thing I have learned this year is to cherish what you have. Let's enjoy this ball and move forward into a better new year," he completed saying, holding up his glass to his wife. Everyone applauded the speech and went back to mingling.

There were just a few days left till the year ended. Camilla and her family had settled nicely into their new home. With lots of space to run and play, Meghan and Marshall could not have asked for anything better. James and Michelle had sent a text message to Bradford and Camilla congratulating them on their move and were looking forward to coming home for the New Year's Eve dance. The space in the new house was so big that they had decided that this year the ball would be hosted at their place. "Babe, what would our theme be for this year?" Camilla asked. "That's a good question," Bradford said, "we can do a few different ones, but what about a black tie event?" Camilla thought for a second, "nope I don't like it, it's boring. Let's do something jazzy!" she voiced her opinion. "Okay, what about a costume ball?" he asked. "It could work," she responded, thinking a little more, "I got it. Why don't we do a masquerade ball?" Bradford's face lit up, "You're amazing. Yes, I like th

The following day was Boxing Day. Everyone in the house arose early to begin the move from Macclesfield to Alderley Edge. The kids, especially, were extremely excited. Bradford had arranged a small moving van to take the goods they were moving with. Most of the things in the house were being left behind except for Morgan's cot and camper. These would be going with them. Shopping online had made things simple for the couple, so the furniture for the new house would have been delivered about a week prior to their moving in. Bradford and Camilla had arranged for a designer and her team to be there when the furniture arrived, in order to ensure the house would be ready and equipped when they arrived. James and Michelle were on their honeymoon so they weren't available. However, Tamara was still at her mom's with Frederick.

Looking at the snow, Bradford commented, "we've been through a lot this year. Can you believe we have been together for a year?" he smiled, looking at the back of his wife as he embraced her."I know," she smiled back at him. "It's been a good year for us. Yes, we have faced a lot, but I am forever grateful to you, my love," Camilla said while sipping her Sherry and looking at the snow.Just then, like she had remembered something, Camilla put her glass down, took Bradford's glass from him, and dragged him out into the snow. Bradford laughed, "I'm glad you haven't lost your sense of humour," he said through the laughter. While outside, the children, grandpa, and Aunt Joyce came to see what all the noise was. "Ah, such young love," Grandpa said, "I remember

Just two days were left before the wedding day. Michelle and Camilla had been very busy with the finer details. Camilla had taken James' mom and Aunt Joyce to the boutique to get their dresses for the wedding, and Michelle was at the beauty salon doing pre-bridal test runs of makeup before the day. That afternoon, Bradford and James treated all the women, Michelle's mom, James' mom, Aunt Joyce, Michelle, and Camilla, to a spa afternoon with massages. Enjoying the two hours, the ladies discussed a lot of the ideas for the reception. "Where's Tamara?" Michelle asked. "She's coming down with Frederick tomorrow morning," Aunt Ruby said, "Apparently she has something planned for you and Camilla." Camilla's eyebrows rose, "I hope she's going to behave." They all laughed. In the past, this may have been something of a warning, but Tamara had changed, and she was more placid than before. The morning before the wedding. Tamara and Frederick arrived at her parents' place around 7 that mo

Tamara and Frederick started attending the University of Bolton. Both were studying as per the specifications from Bradford. It was nearing the wedding of Tamara's brother, James, and his fiancé, Michelle. James had given his sister permission to bring a plus one to the wedding. One Friday afternoon, after lectures had ended, Frederick had invited Tamara out for dinner and drinks. "This could be the perfect time to invite him to my brother's wedding with me!" she thought. "I'll swing by your place. Be ready by 6 p.m.," Frederick informed her. Smiling, she said, "Anything specific?" she asked. "Nothing major," he responded. By 6 that evening, Tamara was ready and nervous. They'd been out with friends in a crowd, but this was their first official date. "Wow, you look beautiful," Frederick said as she opened the front door. Tamara was wearing a long, black pencil skirt with a white, long-sleeved blouse and a black jacket. "Thank you," she smiled coyly. She was blushing at the att

For the next three days, Bradford was forced to stay in hospital despite the fact that he wanted to get back home. Camilla remained at the hospital with him while they had frequent guests in and out. While lying on the bed, Bradford asked, "Can you please continue the audiobook. I want to hear what Desmond has in store for Theresa next."Camilla laughed, "Bradford, you really are something else I tell you. So do you want to listen for the sake of listening, or is it to conjure up something in that devious mind of yours for when you get home?"A devilish smile grew across his lips at the thought of what he would plan for his wife. Camilla saw that smile, and she knew what he was up to. Shaking her head, she responded, "I have no words for you, my husband." Camilla continued to play the book as they sat snuggled together on the hospital bed. Some of the scenes were excellent, and Bradford said, "Just imagine that this was us and Desmond was me," he smiled. His manhood getting a high-r

"He's still unconscious, Mr Brown," James said. "Please keep me updated on his progress," the elder gentleman said and left the hospital. Camilla went into the room, "Babe, please wake up, I need you," she said, crying as she sat beside his bed. The family popped in briefly, one at a time, to see him. "Thank you all for coming," Camilla said, "you can all go home. I will keep everyone updated on the family chat group." Nodding, they said goodbye and left.Later that evening, James and Michelle took the children in to see him. "Dad Brad, you need to be okay.
