Josh makes me feel many emotions I can't explain in words. As I watch him drift off to sleep, his long eyelashes tickle my fancy. I move closer to him to take a good look at him, and then he smiles and draws me in closer. I spank him playfully on his chest, laughing.

"So, you weren't sleeping?" I say in between laughs.

"Nope," he replies, popping out the 'p' sound.

I have to have a one-on-one conversation with him. He has let out his emotions; I feel it's my turn to express mine.

"Josh," I whisper.

He looks at me in acknowledgment without saying a word.

Words can't express how sorry I am for how everything turned out. Not trusting you enough to tell you about Nolan, how he had been pestering me with calls and all.

    Then it occurs to me that we just made love without talking about where we stand. I chuckle, "Well, it's a bit complicated, but things are looking positive. We're taking it one step at a time."Ava raises an eyebrow. "Complicated? Do tell. I know you guys just got back together after that back-and-forth tension, but it's good to see that you are happy.""I'm optimistic about the future, and I appreciate having you and Amelia by my side."Ava hugs me.

I know it’s true. I need to do better."Alright, Dad," I say, my guilt lingering as I wonder about the purpose of his call."What's the latest between you and Harper?" he asks out of the blue. "I haven't heard from you both regarding the wedding."A smile creeps onto my face as I think about Harper and me being o

We’ve run some tests and carried out x-rays on her brain, considering her condition and the memory loss. It seems like she’s beginning to recall bits and pieces. It’s a positive sign, but we need to be cautious. Memory recovery can be unpredictable, and it’s crucial to provide her with a supportive environment.”I nod, taking in the information. “So, there’s hope she might regain more of her memories?”“Yes,” the doctor confirms. “There’s potential for her to remember more as she recovers. The process can be slow, and we’ll monitor her progress closely.”I held my breath, waiting for more information.“The tests show no severe damage,” the doctor continued. “Her brain activity is normal, and there ar
