Ashlynn's POV: "You're range of motion and flexibility is great," Dr. Tanner says. "Obviously the muscles are weak, but that was to be expected. We'll work on rebuilding that strength along with stamina next session." "Thank you," I say as I stand up off the bed. I just attempted to do a yoga pose called bridge. I was quite shaky but I managed to hold it for the time without hurting badly. "Is there anything I should do in my free time?" "Continue to do the bridges as well as the stretches we went over. It's important to not let that muscle sit and get tight." "Alright, sounds good," I smile. "I'll see you in two days." He gives me a small wave as I leave the room. I exit the gym and see Gage walking down the small hallway. "Done?" He asks and I nod. He has a small smile on his face as he comes towards me, he looks happy. A smile spreads on my face just knowing that something is making him this happy. "What has you smiling?" I ask and he just grabs my hand before he

"I've never felt this nervous in my life," Gage admits as I straighten out his tie. He keeps fidgeting with the cuffs of his shirt, while staring himself down in the mirror. "You'll be fine, and I'll be there to help you," I tell him, placing my hands on his chest. "And Alex made sure that one of your apartments in the city was set up for whenever the home visit happens." "Is this really smart?

"Now, we need to leave so we can be there on time." "Alex already has the car pulled up," he tells me. "Then we should hurry down," I reply and he just nods. I take

"Wait, so you spilled coffee on your professor, the first day of class?" Gage asks with a chuckle and I nod my head."It was my first day of college and I was so nervous, I didn't realize my shoe was untied. I walked into class and tripped on my shoelace," I say and shake my head at the memory.

"Fuck!" I groan as my body makes contact with my floor."Shit, sorry!" Ashlynn apologizes, peaking her head over the edge of the bed. "I didn't mean to push you off.""That's not the best way to wake someone up you know," I say. "A kiss would've sufficed."

==========================="I have things I need to do! It's not about you, it never is!" My father yells at me after slapping me across the face. I push myself off of the ground so that I am standing up. "I needed you here! Your poor mother had to get our guests drinks because you failed to be here!"

Gage's POV:Ashlynn slept for the rest of the day and I couldn't leave her side. The adoption agency called and we scheduled a house visit for Thursday. I let Alex know so he could handle the details. I didn't want to leave Ashlynn alone. I still feel extremely guilty. I know I shouldn't have yelled at her the way I did. I've always been awful about controlling my anger, and I definitely shouldn't have taken it out on Ashlynn. She just came in to talk like she told me she was going to. My work has been pu
