Lila’s POV “What. The. Actual. Fuck,” Sarah said as she stared wide-eyed and Enzo and me. My entire body was trembling as I took a step away; I wasn’t sure what I was planning to do. Part of me wanted to run in the opposite direction and take Enzo with me, but I knew that wouldn’t do any of us a

“Did you hear?” Bri asked, a hint of a smile on her lips. “That my son was kissing your daughter?” I asked, raising my eyebrows as I looked down at a very red-faced Kayla. Bri nodded, and then we both glanced at Asher who was staring at Kayla with a pained expression on his face. Awe, my littl

She held up a light blue bear with a polka dot bow tie. This was the only toy that could get Cooper to sleep. “Oh, goddess,” I said with my face warming. If I couldn’t even remember my son’s bear, how was I going to do motherhood? Enzo took the bear from my mother and then went to pick up the
