Chapter Twenty-Two Allysa is three days overdue. We’ve lived in our new apartment for a week now. We successfully got all of our stuff moved the day Ryle was off, and Allysa and I went furniture shopping the second day we moved in. We were practically settled by the third day. We got our first […]

Chapter Twenty-One “I’m heading out. You need me to do anything else?” I look up from the paperwork and shake my head. “Thank you, Serena. See you tomorrow.” She nods and walks away, leaving the door to my office open. Allysa’s last day was two weeks ago. She’s due any day now. I have two […]

Chapter Twenty I tried salvaging my phone before I fell asleep last night, but it was no use. It was in two completely separate pieces. I set my alarm so I could get up early and stop and get a new one on my way in to work today. My face doesn’t look as bad […]

Chapter Nineteen “It’s been six weeks Mom, you gotta get over it.” My mother sighs into the phone. “You’re my only daughter. I can’t help it if I’ve been dreaming about your wedding your whole life.” She still hasn’t forgiven me, even though she was there. We called her right before Allysa booked our flights. […]

Chapter Eighteen “Oh, God. I think I might throw up.” Ryle puts his thumb under my chin and tilts my face up to his. He grins at me. “You’ll be fine. Stop freaking out.” I shake my hands out and bounce up and down inside the elevator. “I can’t help it,” I say. “Everything you […]

Chapter Seventeen It’s after seven before I get home. Ryle called an hour ago and said he wouldn’t be coming over tonight. The confushercackle (whatever that big word he used was) separation was a success, but he’s staying at the hospital overnight to make sure there aren’t complications. I walk in the door to my […]

Chapter Sixteen “I mean . . . I’m not trying to be selfish, but you didn’t taste the dessert, Lily.” Allysa groans. “Oh, it was sooo good.” “We’re never going back there,” I say to her. She stomps her foot like a little kid. “But . . .” “Nope. We have to respect your brother’s […]

Chapter Fifteen I arrive at the restaurant fifteen minutes late. Right when I was about to close tonight I had a customer come in to order flowers for a funeral. I couldn’t turn them away because . . . sadly . . . funerals are the best business for florists. Ryle waves me over to […]

Chapter Fourteen My phone rings. I pick it up to see who it is and I’m a little taken aback. It’s the first time Ryle has ever called me. We always just text. How odd to have a boyfriend for over three months that I’ve never once spoken to on the phone. “Hello?” “Hey, girlfriend,” […]

Chapter Thirteen Ryle: Are you at home or still at work? Me: Work. Should be done in about an hour. Ryle: Can I come see you? Me: You know how people say there is no such thing as a stupid question? They’re wrong. That was a stupid question. Ryle: 🙂 Half an hour later, he’s […]
