Willa went to bed that night feeling like she was living in a dream. Was this really happening? Her head was spinning and she couldn’t believe that she had only been home for not even a month and her life had moved into warp speed. She had come home early and unplanned after graduating from university due to her mom’s illness to help out with the family business. Her MBA was going to have to get done online instead, but it was still doable. On top of that she had met someone who was about to turn her life upside down.

Her head hit the pillow and she should have fallen asleep quickly, but thoughts of Grey holding and kissing her kept waking her up. He lit a fire inside of her that she had never felt before. She wondered if he felt the same way. How could he make lifechanging plans for her when they had just met? Who does that? He sure was confident of himself and he had the audacity to ask her dad for permission to go out with her regularly. But did her father know his full

    Willa was waiting for Grey in the living room. She heard the helicopter land and stayed inside the house. She figured that her parents were wanting to see him in person before they headed off to the city for the weekend. She sent him a text to let him know to come to the house and say “Hello”.About five minutes later Grey was standing outside the mansion doors. One of the servants was letting him inside when Trevor walked out of his office to greet him. They shook hands and then Martha came out of the library to greet him as well. Willa picked up her bag and went to meet Grey from within the living room. His eyes lit up when he saw her. He took her bag and gave her a light kiss on her cheek.Martha said, “We know you two have plans in the city so we won’t keep you. Safe travels and enjoy your time together!” She hugged Willa and then Trevor did the same.Willa said, “I love you both!”She and Grey headed to the pasture where the helicopter had landed. He opened the door fo

    The next morning Willa woke up next to Grey in his huge kingsize bed wearing only a tee shirt. Her head hurt so she went back to sleep for a little longer. When she finally woke up she looked around for her clothes and noticed that Grey had gotten up already. Somehow she had ended up with his tee shirt on. She didn’t remember putting it on last night. She got out of the bed and poked around in the bed sheets to search for her pjs until she found them. Then she headed back to her room trying to remember the events from last night, but her mind was a blur. She faintly remembered telling Grey that she was falling for him and then him asking her if she was sure and being carried to his bed. The rest was a twisted mix of ongoing sex and sleep throughout the night.She turned on the shower and got in to clear her mind. The water running over her body felt good and helped to make her feel better. She heard knocking on the door. “Yes?” she asked.It was Grey, “Can I come in? I ha

    It took about 45 minutes to get to Lawrenceburg by car. Grey seemed like he had something on his mind but he wasn’t saying much of anything. Willa moved closer to him in the car and grabbed his hand.“Is something on your mind? Did I do something wrong back at your family’s home to upset you?” she asked him.“Oh no! You were perfect and they loved you! I knew that they would. Mother would like it if I brought you around some more. I just have a work issue that I am trying to figure out. It has absolutely nothing to do with you.” He lied about the last part. He couldn’t bring himself to tell her the truth just yet. He didn’t want to lose her when they had just gotten started. Everything was going as planned and he had never felt like this before. It was as if he was falling harder for her the more time they spent together.“Ok, if you say so, but I’m here if you need to talk to someone about whatever it is you are struggling with. I don’t understand the real-estate busine

    Monday morning rolled around and Willa sprung out of bed when the rooster crowed. She had a lot to do today and this week was going to be busy. She had made arrangements with her father to purchase her own car and she was going to the car dealership later in the morning to go pick it up. She figured if she was going to be keeping different comings and goings from her dad on the way back from the office, then he probably should have his own car and driver back. Especially since he was going to try and keep up with mom in the afternoon and she was dating Grey officially. If she got tired of driving herself, then she could always hire her own driver.She met the family for the usual breakfast in the dining room and headed to the office with her dad. He was pretty chipper this Monday morning and didn’t bring up Grey at all during breakfast which she found surprising. The first thing on their agenda that day was to visit the Miller Dairy so Willa had worn a pantsuit with a low cut p

    “So what are you two lovely ladies smirking about? Please, do tell. My life needs a little gossip right now. This wedding planning is taking up far too much of my time sis.” Rainey looked at her sister inquisitively and scooted herself down next to Willa without asking permission.Cal looked at his future wife sideways and said, “Now Rainey let’s not disturb their lunch with this right now. I thought that we were going to have a little time to ourselves dear?” He looked at Rainey pleadingly and then said to Willa apologetically, “Excuse your sister for wanting to nose into your business with your bestfriend Willa. I’m sure that she can wait until later to find out some gossip another time.”Cal glared at Rainey but she ignored him. He resigned himself and pulled up a chair. The waitress came by and asked if they wanted refreshments. Rainey declined and said they would not be staying long as they had another table. Cal told the waitress that he would like a glass of water.“

    Willa picked up her desk phone and dialed her dad’s cell. After a few rings he picked up. She put him on speaker so that she could start looking over the stack of papers that he had left for her.“Hi dad! Did you forget to tell me anything important today?” She glanced at the first set of papers and waited for him to answer. He sounded like he was driving. She heard music playing softly in the background.“I did indeed. Honestly your mom and I are taking some time off because she is done with her chemo for a while and we want to spend some time together before she has to head back for more treatments. I am taking her to the coast for some R & R. You know how much she loves the ocean view and the sound of the waves. I know that you can handle the office and if anything comes along that you need my immediate advice with just give me a shout or talk to your sister. She has been around the block longer than you and can probably help you sort it out. Besides that there’s always

    Willa sat up tall as her eyes widened. She looked at the house ahead and then at Grey questionally. He took her hand and asked “Do you like it?”She replied, “It is stunning! Did you buy this? Who's it for? Is it your mom’s new home?” She wanted to know. The car stopped in front of the house, but he didn’t answer. All of the lights were on inside. He got out of the car when the driver came around to open the door and took her hand to help her out.“Mom’s house is on the other side of Lawrenceburg. Her’s is almost ready to move into. The renovations are almost done. I bought this house for us Willa. I know that I am skipping ahead into our future, but Leslie has decided to move into my place in the city once mom moves into her new home. Since she is going to be taking over for me in the city I don’t need to spend as much time there. I can just go there when I need to. I can keep an eye on mom better from here. This way you will be close to your family and your office w

    Willa closed her eyes as she was being carried up the stairs. She said to him, “You must stop me after drinking one glass of wine. I have a low tolerance for alcohol. This is the second time I have gotten tipsy on you.” Grey laughed and replied “So I see! Don’t fear from here on out I will not let you drink more than a glass. I don’t want that pretty little head of yours to hurt.” “Uh huh…” She was out. They reached the bedroom and he laid her down on the bed. He wiggled off her pantsuit and covered her up. He stood there for a minute and looked down at her smiling. “I promise to make you happy Willa and not cause you any undo stress. I'm so lucky to have you.” He whispered to her while she slept. Then he kissed her on the lips and went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. The sun came up through the windows of the masterbedroom and woke Willa up. She reached up to feel her head and said “Oh my head!” She was in pain from drinking wine the night before. I already

    Yes, in a way she did. By the way Grey was looking at her, she could tell that he was very pleased with her answer.“I just want to hug you so bad right now, but your ribs are bruised so I will control myself.” Grey said with a huge smile on his face.Cal looked away as he seemed embarrassed. Then a nurse appeared with a clipboard in hand. “I’ve got your discharge paperwork here Ms. Stockholm. I bet you are ready to head home?”“Yes, I am. This man of mine wants to carry me away and I think I will let him. Life’s too short to keep a good thing waiting.” Willa grinned at the nurse while she checked her ID bracelet that had been placed on her wrist and wrote something down on the clipboard. “By the way, do you know what room my sister Rainey is going to be staying in after her operation? That way I can call her later on when she wakes up?”The nurse looked at her and then at Cal and said, “I don’t know, but I will find out for you. She won’t be coming back here if she has a p

    Dr. Mead finally arrived to set Willa’s arm in a cast shortly after Tricia left. “Sorry for keeping you here so long, Ms. Stockholm. We have had quite the busy day with the restaurant accident. Your x ray shows a clean break of the forearm so I will go get what I need to cast it and hopefully have you on your way to being discharged. In the meantime if you need anything, just press your call button and ask for Dr. Mead.” He smiled and turned to walk away.A nurse came over to place some items on the table in front of Willa. She said, “He’s very good at setting broken bones. Yours is not out of place much so it won’t be too painful. On a scale of one to ten, how is your pain right now?”“Uhm like a four, maybe a five.” She looked hesitant at Grey and then back at the nurse.The nurse nodded, listened to Willa’s pulse, took her blood pressure, and temperature. Then she asked her a few questions that had already been asked before when she got the stitches done. She made some n

    He rushed over to Rainey’s side and grabbed her hand. “Hi honey, your parents are here! Everything is going to be alright. I just know it.” He tried to be positive for her sake and then leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.Rainey observed him for a moment when he pulled away and then said, “Sweetie, have you been crying? Don’t worry. I’m fine. This is just a little set back. The good news is that my back is not broken! The kind doctor will fill you in.”Martha and Trevor quickly walked over to the other side of her bed. “That is wonderful news! So just the broken leg, huh? But what exactly is going on with your back then?” Martha asked. Rainey looked really groggy, probably due to the pain meds that she was given. So Martha didn’t press her too much, because she looked so tired and frail.Trevor held onto his wife while at the same time looking for answers from the doctor. “Doctor, this is our daughter. Give it to us straight. Ok?”“Absolutely! First

    Tricia placed a call to Trevor just as soon as she hung up the phone with Mason. Trevor didn’t answer on the first try as he was helping Martha back into the house after her visit to the doctor. She had received another round of chemotherapy today and was feeling very tired.After getting Martha settled in, his phone rang again and he answered Tricia’s call. “Hi Tricia! This must be really important for you to be calling me. Can’t Willa settle this matter for you? Martha had chemo again today.”Tricia took a long breath and said matter of factly, “Trevor the girls were involved in an accident over lunch. I’m sure it’s all over the news right now. Ruckers got hit by a car and Willa and Rainey were up front. I’ve already informed your pilot to fly you and Martha to Frankfort Regional. He should be arriving any minute. Willa has a broken arm and head trauma, but walked out of the restaurant on her own. Rainey on the other hand is in an unknown condition as she was pinned unde

    Willa heard the faint sound of her name being called amongst the cries from others in the fallen debris. Also, in the distance the wailing sounds of the emergency vehicles could be heard. Outsiders were trying to get in to help out with the victims. “Willa”, she heard again, but oh so faintly. Willa peered around and saw one of her sister’s shoes not far away so she headed towards it. She held her left arm gingerly as she was sure it was broken and wiped the blood out of her right eye. She kept looking around and calling out to Rainey until she finally found her under a pile of ceiling tiles and a heavy beam.“Rainey, I’m here. Don’t move! Everything will be ok. Let me start moving this mess away to help you.” Just then several members of the fire and rescue squad came in and started helping out. Willa flagged down one of her high school classmates, Steven Hardy, to help her dig out her sister.“Hey Steven! Can you help me with Rainey? She’s under this pile here and I’m a

    Mason, Willa’s driver, dropped her off at work and then took her car to get it washed up. It had rained the day before and the vehicle needed some sprucing up. He figured that she would appreciate a clean ride and based on what Tricia had told him it was expected to keep the Stockholm cars looking great all of the time. They had an account with a local car wash so he headed there. Mason needed to get back quick as he had heard his boss say that she was going to have lunch with her sister today. Mason sent his new boss a quick text to let her know that he was going to get the car washed and then heading right back. As Willa was headed up the elevator she noticed the text from Mason on her phone. She thought about how thoughtful he was to be giving her a heads up. She gave him a thumbs up emoji as a response. Meanwhile in the office, as soon as Willa stepped out of the elevator Tricia got up from her desk and followed her to her office with notepad in hand. “Good morning, Tric

    “I’ve got to say at first I was not keen about Grey wanting to date you Willa. I thought his motives were strictly to help his family out with the loss of the Miller Dairy. I figured that you would be a casualty after he got done handling his family’s business. If in fact it was a retaliatory affair? After doing some digging around and listening to his side of the story, I have to admit that I was wrong. It does seem like fate has brought the two of you together.” Trevor glanced at his wife who was nodding in approval at his words. She must have discussed the topic at hand with him last night. “So long story short, you have our permission to marry him if he should ask you properly. As you know, he has already spoken to me on this subject. The timing is up to you and we trust that you will be happy together.” After Trevor finished speaking, Willa must have looked stunned because everyone looked at her like she had two heads. “Hun, are you ok? Do you need me to get you anoth

    She put her phone on silent so that she would not be disturbed while doing her school work. She assumed that Grey would be headed to Kelcy Downs for the night. An hour and a half later she was done with her work. She got a quick shower, changed into some fresh clothes for the night, dried her hair, and then laid down to go to sleep. She was so exhausted that it only took her a few minutes before she was sound asleep. The following morning Willa woke up to the sound of the rooster crowing again. She rolled over and reached for her phone on the nightstand, but it wasn’t there. She looked over on her desk and there it was next to her laptop where she had left it from the night before. She stretched and then decided to get up. Her phone probably needed to be charged. Sure enough it was almost dead and she had a new text message from Grey. She laid the phone down on the charging pad and swiped the screen to unlock it. Then she opened Grey’s message. It read, ‘The gate keycode

    The stars were twinkling and it was a perfect night. Grey hugged Willa tightly and whispered in her ear, “You do know as soon as you agree to be my wife, with your parents complete blessing of course, that you can come and live with me. We can plan our wedding and live happily ever after just like your parents.” He waited for her response knowing that she might not give him the answer that he wanted just yet.She looked at him intently and said, “You can ask me to marry you in a few more months. Let’s get through my sister’s wedding first. I promise to give you a solid answer after that time frame.” Then she leaned her head near his and gave his cheek a kiss.“Ok, I can wait.” He laughed. “In the meanwhile, I will just continue to show you how charming I am. By the way, my parents were a very happy couple too. I’m sure my dad would have loved you as a daughter-in-law. I know that he’s looking down from heaven on us and cheering us on in this life.”Willa was silent for a wh
