Judy’s POV“I can’t believe he’s actually taking you on a date,” Nan said, a bright smile on her face. “Why are you so nervous? This is a good thing!”“Is it though?” I asked, I looked at myself in the mirror feeling a sense of unease in the pit of my belly. It was strange because Gavin didn’t reall
I swallowed the lump in my throat and grabbed a comfortable pair of shoes, putting them on slowly and deliberately.“Ready to go?” He asked when I returned to him.I nodded and followed him out of the house, avoiding the curious gazes of Nan and Sammy who were clearly watching us from around the cor
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
He glanced at the menu and then back at me without taking it.“You’re telling me with everything on this menu, you’re going to get a cobb salad and wine?” He asked, his brows raised.My cheeks flushed, but I wasn’t going to back down.“Yes,” I said, though even I didn’t sound very convincing to myse
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
“There’s no way in hell I’m getting on that thing,” he told me, shaking his head.I raised my brows at him and turned to look at him.“Is the big bad Lycan afraid of roller coasters?” I asked.He pressed his lips in a thin line and glared at me.“I am not afraid of anything… but I won’t get on that
“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
Gavin’s POVThe last person I ever expected to see here was my mother. I stared blankly at her for a long while as her eyes darted between me and Judy.Judy stood frozen beside me, now a fair distance from me and it took everything I had not to reach out and brought her back into my arms, holding he
She lifted her arms in the sky and the sun setting rays cascaded down on her features, lighting up her gorgeous and happy face as she breathed in the cooling air.Before I knew what I was doing, my eyes never left her face, I was loosening my grip on the lap bar and lifting my arms as well, wanting
Gavin’s POVI hated that I was doing this, but the happy look on Judy’s face was almost worth it. She was oddly beautiful when she smiled; it felt like it was a rarity to see, but I’ve seen it a lot today. Doing her favorite things, eating her favorite foods, relaxing, and having fun… it was actuall
