Judy’s POVI barely had time to register what was happening when we walked into The Grove. The familiar delicious scents of the food that I have come to love invaded my nose and made my stomach rumble even more than it was on our drive into the city. The hostess gave Gavin a polite smile and a bow o

Judy’s POVMarcus left to fetch our order, and I stared at Gavin with my mouth hanging open. Never had I imagined that Gavin Landry would be ordering such food, especially on a date. He sat back in the booth, and I could feel his eyes on me, assessing my every facial movement.“Why are we here?” I f
“Am I doing something wrong?” He asked.Without thinking, I picked up a mozzarella ball off his plate with my fingers and dipped it in the sauce before popping it into my mouth with a grin. His eyes narrowed as he watched me take another and also pop it into my mouth. I chuckled at his awestruck exp
Judy’s POV“I can’t believe we are actually at the fair right now,” I breathed as I stared around at all the rides and the colors. The crowd was insane because the fair was only in town for a couple more days, so everybody was having fun now.“Does this make you happy?” He asked, observing me.I nod
I was about to walk towards the backseat, but then the front passenger door opened, and I froze for a moment. I walked over to the door and peeked in, only to see Gavin seated in the driver’s seat. I raised my brows as I got into the car.“Hey,” I said to him. “Where’s Beta Taylor?”“He had somethin
Judy’s POV“Who do you think she’s talking to?” Nan asked in a whisper. “Or about?”I shrugged.It was strange that she was having a secret conversation behind the gym. Just as we were about to step away, she came around the corner and froze upon seeing us.“Judy,” she gasped and then her eyes went

Judy’s POVBy the time we reached campus, both our minds were reeling with possibilities. Something was up with Sammy, and we were both determined to find out what it was. We didn’t see Sammy all morning, so we didn’t bother traveling to school with her.I had a morning class, so I had to part ways
“Very kind of you,” I tell him with a chuckle. “So, how did you get Nan into bed?” I asked, taking a bite of the eggs.He laughed.“I don’t kiss and tell,” he teased.I raised my brows because that’s literally all he ever does. He loves bragging about this kind of thing.“Since when?”“Since this on
Judy’s POV“Sammy?” I asked as I turned on my bedroom light. Sammy was standing at my desk across the room with her eyes wide like she was a deer caught in the headlights. I could practically hear her heart pounding against her chest as she stared back at me, having been caught snooping through my p
“Ready to go?” He asked me, his tone a low whisper, his breath warming the side of my face as he whispered into my ear.I nodded.“More than ready,” I told him.“We have to return to that game from earlier and get your prize,” he reminded me.I laughed at the memory, but the laugh was cut short when
Judy’s POVThe fact that his mom and Daisy showed up at the fair shouldn’t have surprised me. I should have known that they would have caught wind when I was on a date with Gavin and where we were. I should have known they would have followed us here.The memory of my last encounter with them invade
“Hey,” I said to her, putting my hands on her small shoulders. “Just breathe. They are gone… it’s okay…”Judy took in a deep breath as she fought to control her breath. Once she was finally calmer, her eyes peeked up at me through her long and dark lashes.“Thanks,’ she whispered.“Want to tell me w
