MAISIE"Can you call her again?" I asked Nathan as we stepped out of his office the next morning.My nerves were frayed from lack of sleep, and I couldn't stop fidgeting."She said she was close. Why the hurry?" He looked at me with mild surprise, probably because I'd been pestering him about the psychiatrist all morning."Listen," he added, checking his watch, "I have an operation now and I have to go, but she's coming in a few minutes. Just be patient."I nodded and waved him off. He had more important things to do than babysit my anxiety.Leaning against the wall, I watched Nathan walk away down the corridor.I blinked several times when a woman in a sleek black dress appeared beside me.She was heading toward Nathan's office with purposeful steps. Her chestnut hair cascaded down her back in gentle waves, and even at a glance, I could tell she was beautiful in an effortless way."Sorry, miss. Doctor Nathan is in the operating room," I called out.She turned with a bright smile ligh

MAISIEI ran out and slammed into a solid chest. I recognized him immediately by his familiar cologne—the distinctive scent that had always been my comfort.Jason.I looked up at him helplessly, my eyes brimming with tears.I could bear it when my son looked at me as if I were the cause of his misery. I would bear that burden willingly. But when he looked at me believing he was the source of my unhappiness? That was unbearable!I pushed past Jason, intending to leave the hospital until the session concluded. However; his hand caught mine in a firm grip."Are you okay, my butterfly?" he asked with concern etched across his features.I yanked my hand away roughly. "No, I'm not okay," I choked out. "And I won't be okay!"Jason stepped closer, studying my face with worried eyes. "What's wrong with you?"I stared at the floor as tears began to stream down my cheeks. "I miss him," I whispered. "I miss him being so himself."I raised my face to meet his gaze, no longer trying to hide my tear

MAISIEJason made sure to make me scream his name over and over again until my throat felt hoarse.I was afraid everyone heard me. My fingers clutched desperately at his shoulders as waves of sensation crashed through me, momentarily drowning out the grief that had become my constant companion.Shame washed over me in waves afterward, hot and suffocating. I couldn't believe I was doing this in my son's hospital room. The blue dinosaur plushie on the nightstand seemed to stare accusingly at me with its button eyes.Sorrow indeed makes one lose their sanity, pushing you toward comfort in whatever form it presents itself.Jason kept his promise of no penetration. I could see how difficult it was for him to hold back through his ragged breathing, the tensed muscles beneath my exploring fingers, the darkened eyes with restrained desire yet he never went back on his words.His self-control was both frustrating and endearing despite my insistence.We lay together afterward in comfortable sil

MAISIEMemories of our little moment in Don's recovery room before I fell asleep flashed in my mind with startling clarity. The desperation I'd felt, the overwhelming need for connection and comfort that had driven me to actions I'd never have considered in a more rational state.How I had begged him to take me, my pride abandoned in the face of grief and loneliness. The way my fingers had clutched at his shirt, pulling him closer while tears still stained my cheeks.How he'd refused my ultimate request but still made me cry out his name until my voice became too hoarse and my body couldn't go on anymore with other means.His hands had been gentle yet confident, his lips tracing paths across my skin that left me trembling. He had known exactly how to touch me, how to help me forget the pain, if only for those precious moments when sensation overwhelmed thought.My cheeks turned red in shame as our eyes met. The hospital's lighting seemed suddenly too harsh, exposing every emotion cros

MAISIEI stood in front of my closet, fingers trailing over fabrics, wondering what "something nice" meant exactly.Two weeks had elapsed since Don's decision to grant Jason and myself a chance.A midnight blue dress that grazed my knees was my final choice after more time spent thinking about it than I'd like to admit.A color Jason had once said brought out flecks of gold in my eyes that he hadn't noticed before.The dress hugged my curves in a way that made me feel both elegant and desirable. I paired it with simple silver jewelry and heels that were high enough to be flattering yet comfortable enough that I could walk without wobbling.Whatever Jason had planned, I wanted to be prepared.An elegant black sedan pulled into my driveway at exactly seven minutes before the top of the hour. A kind and well-dressed driver popped open the door and presented me with an envelope.First stop on our journey tonight. Each place holds a memory. By the end, you'll understand why. —JMy heart fl

MAISIEThe small velvet box in his hand seemed to hold all the gravity in the universe."I never expected you…” he trailed off. "You crashed into my life like a meteor, brilliant and unstoppable. You changed everything. The way I see the world. The way I see myself." His voice caught slightly. "You made me believe in second chances when I'd given up on even deserving a first one."Tears blurred my vision as he continued, his eyes never leaving mine."I love the way you fight for what matters to you. I love how fiercely you protect those you care about. I love your strength and your vulnerability. I love how you've let me see both."He opened the box, revealing a ring that caught the candlelight and scattered it like stars—a central diamond surrounded by smaller sapphires the color of my dress."I love the family we're building together, and I want to keep building it for the rest of our lives."He took a breath that seemed to contain all his courage. "Will you marry me again? Will you

MAISIEJason's lips curved into a knowing smile, understanding my need to draw this out, to savor each moment of this transformation from lovers to promised partners.He moved to the ice bucket and lifted the bottle with ease, water droplets sliding from the chilled glass onto his hands.He had already removed the foil and wire cage in his meticulous preparation, another detail that hadn't escaped my notice.With a controlled twist of his strong wrists, he eased the cork out with a soft, sensual pop rather than the explosive celebration sound.The champagne fizzed gently as he poured it into the flutes, golden bubbles racing to the surface in delicate streams, the subtle aroma of apples and brioche filling the air between us.He handed me a glass, our fingers brushing in the exchange.His fingertips lingered against mine longer than necessary… a deliberate caress that made my pulse jump visibly at the base of my throat."To us," Jason said, raising his glass.The crystal caught the li

MAISIEJason reached for the pot of honeycomb. He broke off a portion of the comb and held it between us.. "Old tradition," he said with a smile that made my heart race and my breath catch. "For sweetness between us, always."He traced the honeycomb along my collarbone, the sticky sweetness cool against my flushed skin. Rivulets of honey dripped down, tracing paths between my breasts and soaking into the delicate lace of my bra.The contrast between the cool honey and my heated skin made goosebumps rise across my flesh, my nipples hardening visibly.Then Jason lowered his head and followed the path with his mouth. His tongue was warm and insistent as it collected the honey with his teeth gently grazing the sensitive skin beneath my ear.I gasped. My head fell back to give him better access while my hands found his shoulders for support as my knees threatened to buckle.Jason took his time. The wet heat of his mouth moved with deliberate slowness across my skin, leaving no drop of swee

MAISIEI froze, then rushed closer to her. "Lily, what did you say? Say it again!"She placed her tiny palm on my cheek."Amma!"It wasn't perfect, but it was close enough. After months of trying, she'd finally said something resembling "Mama."Joy exploded through me like fireworks. I started bouncing up and down, unable to contain my excitement."She said it! She said 'Mama'! Did you hear that? She called me 'Mama'!" I shouted, throwing my arms wide and then forming a big heart shape with them for Lily.Suddenly, I realized I hadn't captured this momentous occasion. "Wait, I need my camera! This is important!"I started frantically searching through my bag. "Don't say anything else until Mama comes back with the camera, okay?" I called over my shoulder as I dug through my belongings.I've always been one to wear my emotions openly, especially happiness. After everything I'd been through in my life, I'd promised myself I would never downplay joy when it came my way. I would celebrate

MAISIEI was making my way back from checking on Don and his friends who were busy taking photos and being typical teenagers when Lily suddenly began squirming in my arms, making urgent sounds and pointing.Don had asked us to keep his relationship with Jason private at school. As far as his classmates knew, Jason was just his stepfather, the school principal who had married his mom.I understood his need for privacy; teenage social dynamics were complicated enough without adding that layer.Lily's movements became more insistent, drawing my attention back to her. She was staring fixedly at something, her little body practically vibrating with excitement.Following her gaze, I realized we were standing near the elephant enclosure. A massive African elephant was resting in the shade of a large tree, separated from us by sturdy metal bars and a deep moat.I moved closer to the viewing area, and Lily immediately grabbed onto the bars, her eyes wide with wonder as she took in the enormous

MAISIEI turned back to face her, noting the familiar look of contempt that always appeared whenever Karina's name came up.Miriam had disliked her from the start, but her hatred had intensified after I'd explained the full story of how Karina had conspired with Jason's brother Jared, how she'd betrayed years of friendship with Jason just to trap him in a relationship."What's she done now?" I asked, not entirely sure I wanted to know.My feelings toward Karina were complicated. For a long time, I'd seen her as nothing but a manipulative obstacle standing between Jason and me. Then, during our final confrontation, I'd glimpsed something else—a young woman crushed under the weight of family expectations and desperate choices.However, that brief moment of sympathy had evaporated when Jason finally told me everything. The extent of her deception, the calculated way she'd worked with Jared to keep Jason tied to her... I'd never wished anyone ill except for Jared, but Karina had earned a

MAISIE"It's okay, sweet girl," I murmured, holding Lily close as our car pulled away from the driveway.Her eyes were still watery, her little chest occasionally hitching with the aftermath of tears. She'd been crying for Don, who had left earlier with Chen and their friend to meet us at the zoo.Don had snuck out while Lily was distracted with her toys, but she'd noticed his absence almost immediately. It was almost comical how both her father and brother would try to slip away unnoticed, terrified of upsetting a twenty-month-old."Come on, Lily," I said brightly, trying to distract her. "Say 'Mama'!"I'd been trying to coax her first words for weeks now. However, she seemed determined to take her time.The pediatrician assured us it was normal. Some children were simply more observant before they started speaking still I couldn't help feeling a little anxious.Lily ignored my prompting, becoming fascinated with the buttons on my jacket instead. She leaned forward, her chubby finger

MAISIEThe next morning, I emerged from a quick shower and headed to the dressing room to get ready for the day.I'd passed by Lily's room earlier and found both her and Jason still asleep, though she had somehow migrated onto his chest, her favorite sleeping position since she was born.Whenever she was with one of us while sleeping, she'd inevitably crawl up and settle herself on our chest, her ear pressed against our heartbeat.I pulled on ripped jeans, a white tank top, and a soft gray blazer, then headed back to the nursery, eager to tell Jason about his unprecedented night of sleep.When I reached Lily's room, the bed was empty. I found them on the other side of the room, where Jason was sitting on the floor with Lily in his lap, carefully putting tiny shoes on her feet.She looked adorable in a white sundress, her hair tamed into two small pigtails.I was about to speak when Don appeared behind me with Lily's sippy cup of milk in his hand."Time for breakfast, everyone," he ann

MAISIE~A couple of years later~I gave birth to the most beautiful little girl in the world two years after our wedding. We named her Lily, after Jason's mother. Sometimes I call her Lil when she's being especially cute, which is pretty much all the time.It was actually my suggestion to name her after his mother. I knew it would make Jason happy, and it truly did. The way his eyes lit up when I proposed it—that moment alone was worth it.Now she's one year and eight months old, toddling around our home with a determination that makes us all smile.Lily has filled our lives—mine, Jason's, and Don's—with a kind of joy I never knew existed. Her little voice, still forming words but full of expression, makes the whole house feel alive. She's become the unexpected glue that has truly brought our family together.Don had accepted my relationship with his father, but in those early days after the wedding, he still spent most of his time with his best friend.He was trying to adjust to this

MAISIEThe moment we appeared, the guests rose to their feet, turning to watch our approach.I saw familiar faces on both sides of the aisle—colleagues from work, parents from Don's school.Miriam stood in the front row, her pregnancy now visible beneath her flowing dress, tears already streaming down her face as she clutched Nathan's hand.But my eyes were drawn inexorably to Jason, waiting for me beneath the arch.The look on his face as he watched me approach… wonder, joy, love so intense it was almost painful to witness made everything else fade away.In that moment, it was just the two of us, connected by an invisible thread that had been drawing us together since our first meeting.Don and I moved slowly down the aisle, each step bringing me closer to my future. The weight of my son's arm beneath my hand was both grounding and symbolic. He wasn't just giving me away; he was walking with me into our new life.When we reached the front, the officiant smiled warmly at us. "Who give

MAISIEThe moment I stepped on the back porch, the world seemed to pause. Across the lawn where rows of white chairs arranged in a semicircle. Wildflowers in shades of blue, purple, and white lined the aisle—the same flowers that grew naturally along the stream at the property's edge, now woven into garlands that transformed our backyard into an enchanted garden.Jason squeezed my hand once before releasing it. Then he moved ahead to take his place at the simple arch we'd constructed from twisted branches and adorned with more wildflowers and fairy lights that would twinkle as evening approached.His best man, Klay, stood beside him, while Felix and the rest of Jason’s friends lingered a few feet away. Dressed in sleek black silk suits, they exuded an air of refined elegance, each one strikingly handsome in their own way.I took a deep breath, steadying myself in the quiet moment before everything would begin.The subtle scent of my bouquet—wildflowers mixed with sprigs of lavender—he

MAISIEWe lay tangled together afterward.Jason’s weight was a welcome pressure on top of me and his heartbeat was strong against my chest, gradually slowing to match my own.My ring caught the candlelight and sent prisms dancing across his sweat-dampened skin like tiny rainbows that seemed a fitting metaphor for the joy that filled me.Eventually, Jason shifted to the side and gathered me on him so that my head rested on his chest with his arm a protective band around my waist.Outside, the night had deepened, but inside our sanctuary, time seemed suspended in amber like the honey that still faintly flavored our kisses."When did you plan all this?" I asked, tracing idle patterns through the light dusting of hair on his chest.His fingers combed through my hair, gentle and soothing, occasionally working through tangles with careful attention. "I bought the ring before our trip to Greendale," he admitted, the rumble of his voice vibrating against my ear.I nodded.Tears slipped from t
