As they walked, the scenery around them began to change. The beach narrowed, and the hills surrounding them grew taller and more rugged. Nicole's eyes widened as she took in the breathtaking view. The hills, the beach, and the sea all came together to create a stunning panorama.Nicole's jaw dropped as she gazed out at the sight before her. She had never seen anything so beautiful in her life. The hills rose up on either side of them, their peaks shrouded in a misty veil. The beach was a narrow strip of golden sand, and the sea sparkled like a thousand diamonds in the fading light.Gage watched Nicole's expression, a small smile playing on his lips. He had never brought anyone to this place before. It was a spot that held a deep significance for him, a place where he came to find peace and solitude. He had spent countless hours here, alone with his thoughts, and it was a place that felt like a part of him.But there was something about Nicole that made him want to share this place wit

They lay on the sand, their bare bodies glistening in the moonlight, Gage turned to Nicole and smiled. "I have a great memory now," he said, his voice low and husky. "And it's special because you're in it."Nicole's face lit up with a radiant smile. "Thanks for the amazing night, Gage," she said, her voice playful. "This trip has been exactly what I needed. You've been a fantastic host...and companion."Gage chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I try my best," he said, his voice laced with amusement. "I'm glad you've enjoyed yourself. I have to say, I've had a pretty great time too."Nicole's smile faltered for a moment, and she looked at Gage with a hint of appreciation. Despite their casual arrangement, she had grown to enjoy his company, and moments like these made her feel grateful for their friendship.Gage glanced at his watch and then back at Nicole. "We need to head back," he said, his voice tinged with a hint of reluctance. "It's getting very late."Nicole nodded in

The next morning, Ashley and Nicole decide to spend the day lounging on the beach. They set up a colorful umbrella and spread out a blanket, surrounded by towels, sunscreen, and a cooler filled with refreshing drinks.As they soak up the sun and enjoy the sound of the waves, Ashley can't help but feel grateful for the relaxing vacation. She's been stressed out lately, and this trip has been just what she needed.Nicole, on the other hand, is a bit more restless. She's still trying to shake off the thoughts of Gage that have been lingering in her mind since their encounter the night before.Just as they're settling in, Gage and Lucas appear on the horizon, walking towards them with big smiles on their faces. Ashley's eyes light up at the sight of Lucas, and she can't help but feel a flutter in her chest.Nicole, on the other hand, looks less than thrilled to see Lucas.As the two men approach, Ashley jumps up to greet Lucas, throwing her arms around him in a warm hug.

Nicole and Gage emerged from the water, shaking off the excess water from their skin; they were greeted by a surprising sight. Ashley and Lucas were lying on the beach blanket, wrapped in each other's arms and sharing a passionate kiss. They were lost in their own little world, oblivious to the surroundings.Nicole's eyes widened in surprise, and she felt a slight jolt of excitement. She turned to Gage, who was standing beside her, and they exchanged a knowing glance. They both smiled, and Nicole could sense a hint of amusement in Gage's eyes.Without needing to say a word, they both nodded in unison, silently agreeing not to disturb Ashley and Lucas. They stood there for a moment, watching the couple kiss, before Gage turned to Nicole and whispered, "I think we should give them some space."Nicole nodded in agreement, and they both quietly backed away, giving Ashley and Lucas some privacy. As they walked further down the beach, Nicole couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness for h

Nicole's eyes sparkled with amusement as Gage pulled her closer, his face inches from hers. She pretended to be angry, her voice laced with fake indignation. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked, trying to sound stern.Gage just chuckled and pushed her towards the pool wall, trapping her between his arms. Nicole's back was against the cool tile, and Gage's body was pressed against hers, his eyes gleaming with mischief."What are you doing?" Nicole asked again, her voice a little breathless.Nicole's fake anger started to slip, replaced by a growing sense of excitement. "I'm still angry," she said, trying to sound convincing.Gage's smile grew wider. "Let me release your anger," he whispered, his lips brushing against her ear.Gage's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze burning with intensity. "I don't think you are," he said, his voice low and husky. "I think you're just pretending to be angry because you don't know how to react to me."Nicole's eyes flashed with surprise, but Gage j

Nicole's eyes snapped open at 5:00 AM, and she was instantly awake. She lay still for a moment, listening to the sound of Ashley's gentle snores coming from the other bed. She carefully threw off her covers and got out of bed, trying not to disturb her sister.She walked over to Ashley's bed and gently pulled the blanket up to her chin, making sure she was cozy and warm. Then, she turned and made her way to the balcony, sliding open the glass door and stepping out into the cool morning air.The cold breeze hit her like a slap in the face, and she shivered slightly, but she didn't mind. She loved the feeling of the early morning air, and she breathed deeply, feeling invigorated.As she looked out over the grounds, her eyes fell on the gym below. She could see Gage working out, his figure illuminated by the dim lights inside. She smiled to herself, wondering how early he had gotten up to start his workout.Without thinking, Nicole decided to join him. She quickly turned and went back in

Nicole walked back to her room, expecting to find it empty, but instead, she was greeted by her sister Ashley, who was already up and about. Ashley's eyes narrowed slightly as she took in Nicole's disheveled appearance."Where have you been?" Ashley asked, her voice tinged with a hint of curiosity.Nicole hesitated for a moment before responding, "I was just... uh... out for a walk."Ashley raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced, but she didn't press the issue. Instead, she switched gears, her expression turning serious."I was looking all over for you. We need to get ready. Lucas's parents want to meet me, and I'm a nervous wreck."Nicole's eyes widened in surprise. "His parents want to meet you? Why do I need to be there?"Ashley's eyes pleaded with Nicole. "Come on, Nic, I've never been in this situation before, and I really need your support. I'm freaking out just thinking about it."Nicole sighed, feeling a pang of sympathy for her sister. "Fine, I'll be there for you. But you ow

Gage, however, spoke up, his voice firm and defensive. "Mrs. Brooks, that's not fair," he said. "Ashley's mom works hard to provide for her family, and her bakery shop is a success in its own right."But Mrs. Brooks just laughed again, her eyes glinting with malice. "Oh, I'm sure it's a... charming little shop," she said. "But let's be realistic, dear. We're talking about a small bakery shop in a modest neighborhood. It's not exactly a lucrative business, is it?"The atmosphere at the table had grown tense and uncomfortable, with Nicole and Ashley looking like they'd been slapped. Lucas's face was dark with anger, and Gage's eyes were flashing with indignation. It was clear that Mrs. Brooks had crossed a line and that her taunts had struck a painful chord.Nicole's fists tightened as she listened to Mrs. Brooks's condescending remarks about her mother. She felt a surge of anger and hurt, but she took a deep breath and composed herself, her voice taking on a calm and cold tone."My mot

But now, it seemed like she was back to square one.She walked over to a nearby bench and sat down, feeling defeated. She buried her face in her hands, trying to process her emotions.

Why did she always have to push away the people she loved?As she sat there, Nicole's mind began to wander back to Gage.She suddenly remembered something that made her heart skip a beat.

Without hesitation, Nicole walked back into the airport.****The sun was setting over the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the small island that Gage owned.

The plane taxied down the runway; Nicole's mind was a whirlwind of emotions. Gage's words from the book kept echoing in her mind, reminding her of the depth of his love for her. She couldn't shake off the feeling that she was running away from something precious, something that could have been hers if only she had realized it sooner.The thought of Gage giving his heart to her, and now, unknowingly, giving her a part of himself through their baby, was almost too much to bear. Nicole felt a pang of guilt and regret, wondering how she could have been so blind to Gage's feelings.Suddenly, she stood up, her movements abrupt and decisive. The flight attendant, caught off guard, hurried over to her. "Ma'am, please sit down. We're about to take off."But Nicole didn't listen. She grabbed her bag and began to walk towards the exit, her eyes fixed on the door. The flight attendant tried to stop her, but Nicole pushed past her, determined to get off the plane."Ma'am, you can't just get off th

Nicole stepped down from the stairs, her eyes fixed on the floor as she made her way to the front door. Her dad, sister, and Lucas were all standing in the living room, watching her with a mix of sadness and understanding.Ashley walked towards her, concern etched on her face. "Nicole, do you really want to go?" she asked, her voice soft.Nicole nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. "I need to go, Ash," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Now that Mom is gone, this house just feels empty. I'm not used to being here without her. I need to get out of here and start fresh somewhere else."Her father, Henry, walked towards her, his eyes filled with compassion. "We understand, baby," he said, his voice gentle. "We'll miss you, but we understand that you need to do this."Nicole's eyes overflowed with tears as she hugged her father tightly. It was a moment of closure, a moment of healing, and Ashley couldn't help but feel a sense of joy seeing her sister and father reunited like

Nicole stepped up to the microphone, her eyes scanning the crowd of mourners gathered to pay their respects to her mother. She took a deep breath and began to speak, her voice calm and steady."My mom was an incredible woman," she started, her words echoing through the silence. "She was a great wife, a great mom, and a great person. She had every opportunity to leave us, to start a new life after our dad left. But she chose to stay with us, to raise us on her own, and to give us the best life possible."Nicole's voice cracked slightly as she spoke, but she continued, her words pouring out from the heart."As a daughter, I have to admit that I failed my mom. I never understood her, I never appreciated her sacrifices, and I never thanked her enough for everything she did for me. She always put Ashley and me first, always prioritizing our needs above her own. And yet, I repaid her by being selfish, by running away from her when she needed me most."Nicole's tears began to fall, streaming

The doctor emerged from the room; Nicole and her father stood up, their hearts racing with anticipation. They walked towards the doctor, their eyes fixed on his face, searching for any sign of hope.But the doctor's expression was grim, his eyes cast downward. He seemed to be struggling to find the words to say."Doctor?" Nicole asked, her voice trembling with anxiety. "What's going on? How's my mom?"The doctor didn't respond, his silence hanging in the air like a heavy weight."Doctor, please," Nicole asked again, her voice growing more urgent. "Tell me what's going on. Is my mom okay?"The doctor still didn't respond, his eyes fixed on the floor.Nicole's anxiety turned to desperation, and she reached out and grabbed the doctor's collar, her hands shaking with fear."Tell me!" she demanded, her voice hoarse with emotion. "What's going on with my mom?"Her father intervened, gently prying Nicole's hands off the doctor's collar."Nicole, honey, stop," he said, his voice calm and soot

Nicole drove to the hospital; she couldn't help but think about the events of the past few days. Ashley and Lucas had just left for their honeymoon, and despite Ashley's initial hesitation to leave her mother's side, Nicole had assured her that she would take care of their mom. Nicole had reminded Ashley that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and that she should go and enjoy her honeymoon with Lucas.Now, as Nicole drove to the hospital, she was filled with a mix of emotions. She was worried about her mother's health, which seemed to be deteriorating by the day. She was also thinking about Gage and the secret she was keeping from him.

Nicole took a deep breath and began to explain the situation to Ashley. "Ash, you know how Gage and I were in a friends with benefits agreement? Well, things got complicated. Gage fell for me, and I...I couldn't deny that there was something between us. Something that I couldn't connect with Jack."Ashley's eyes widened in surprise, but Nicole continued. "I know it's not fully Jack's fault that he didn't trust me. I never let him get close to me, not really. But with Gage...it was different. His touch, his kiss... it melted me, Ash. I couldn't deny it, no matter how hard I tried."Nicole's voice cracked as she remembered the pain she had felt. "And then Jack broke up with me, which hurt me, Ash. He said things that cut deep, and I realized that I deserved better. That's why I agreed to go to Paris, to get away from all this mess."Ashley's expression softened, and she reached out to take Nicole's hand. "But now...now you're pregnant with Gage's child," she said gently.Nicole nodded,

Ashley stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her wedding veil as Nicole sat on the bed, watching her with a warm smile."You look beautiful, Ash," Nicole said, her eyes shining with happiness.Ashley turned to her, her face radiant with excitement. "Thanks, Nic. I'm so nervous. What if I trip on my dress? What if Lucas forgets his vows?"Nicole laughed, getting up from the bed to give Ashley a reassuring hug. "You'll be fine, Ash. You've been preparing for this day for months. And Lucas loves you; he'll never forget his vows."Just then, there was a knock on the door. Nicole walked over to answer it, expecting it to be one of the wedding planners or maybe Lucas himself.But when she opened the door, she was shocked to see Gage standing there, looking handsome but somber in his suit. They stared at each other for a moment, the tension between them palpable.Nicole's heart was racing as she tried to process why Gage was here. They hadn't spoken since she slapped him, and she had been
