-KENZIE- I was staring out the jet's window, we were on our way back home and my mind was on Axel. I was feeling guilty for the way I handled things with him. "Kenz?" Wyatt's voice pulled me from my thoughts. "Yeah?" I turned to look at him. "What is it?" "Nothing," I sighed heavily, "I feel terrible about how I handled things with Axel. I should never have started anything with him." "Why? Because he's a shitty person?" "No, because..." I trailed off, not wanting to get into why I broke things off with Axel. Wyatt seemed to be studying me intently, but I couldn't figure out what he was thinking. "He's just too jealous, and I'm trying to concentrate on my career. I can't do that with him throwing a tantrum whenever you need me." Wyatt nodded, "That's good. Your career is important. Have you thought about going back to school? I'm sure you don't want to be a PA for the rest of your life." "I'll figure it out eventually. But for the time being, I'm happy to carry on with thin

-KENZIE-I chewed on the end of the pencil while zoning out in Wyatt's meeting. My mind was very scattered since Caleb dropped me off at home a few days prior. I looked up and caught Wyatt's eyes on me.He smiled slightly and I looked away. I knew I had been caught not paying attention.Thankfully the meeting was coming to an end."You look like you're about to die of boredom," Wyatt whispered."I am.""You realize you were supposed to be taking notes, right?""Sorry. I don't know what's going on with me. I can't concentrate on anything.""Why is that?"I shrugged, "I don't know. Wyatt, please watch your son. Selma seems like a nice person and I don't want her to end up hurt the way I did."He turned to me, "Why? What did he do?""Nothing. But he told me he misses me. And it was just a really awkward moment."Wyatt's jaw clenched, "I'll speak to him. He shouldn't put you in that sort of situation.""It's not that. I don't want Selma ending up in the same situation I ended up in.""I

-KENZIE-Avoiding Wyatt seemed to become a hobby.I was on my lunch break, sitting in the downstairs lunch area with Paul."Kenzie, what's wrong? You've barely touched your food."I sighed heavily, "I'm thinking about my mom, I need to go see her later," I owned down at my coffee, "Paul, have you ever done something knowing it was a bad idea? And even though you tried your best not to give in, you end up doing it, only to realize afterward that you were right and you should never have done it."Paul laughed, "Alcoholic, remember?" His face became serious as he studied me, "Yes, I have. There are so many things I wish I could have done differently. So many things I wish I could change. But we all know there is no way for us to undo the things we have done. But, what we can do is take solace in the fact that everything happens for a reason, even if you don't understand the reason right now."I nodded, "I guess. I kind of feel like all I'm doing is making a major mess of things.""Someti

-KENZIE-"This is too slutty." I scrunched my nose up as I eyed myself in the mirror.Milly looked up from Toby who was sitting on her lap, "It's sexy, not slutty. Wear it."I turned to face her, "Milly, this is Selma's dinner—my ex's fiance. She knows he still has feelings for me, I don't want her to think I'm trying to dress up to impress him."She raised a brow and pouted her lips, "You're worried about that? I thought you were trying to make Wyatt realize what he's missing?"My heart dropped and my throat closed up at her words. I hadn't told her about Wyatt. Paul was the only one who knew about Wyatt."How did you-?"I've been your friend for years, do you really think I've never noticed? You used to get all weird whenever his name was mentioned anywhere. And I've seen the way you act since working for him. I know I look it, but I'm not stupid, Kenz."I sighed and sat on the edge of my bed, "I'm sorry I never told you. I didn't want anyone to find out."She shrugged, "No biggie.

-KENZIE-I was still fuming over Wyatt's confession. I couldn't believe he had so easily told his father about us."How can you expect me to be calm about this? You knew I didn't want anyone knowing about it.""Kenz, just enjoy the day with me. Be mad later."I turned to glare at him, "That's so easy for you to say. Your father already thinks so low of me, and now you've gone and made it worse."" Kenzie.""No, Wyatt, you shouldn't have- what are you doing?"Wyatt was pulling the car to a stop and for the first time I realized that I had no idea where we were.It looked like an over grown medow, the bright green grass stood tall with specks of pink and yellow flowers."Well, don't just sit there." He got out the car.I followed him, still shooting glares at him."Where are we?" I asked. I couldn't see much behind the trees and tall weeds.He held out a hand, "Come on and you'll see."I eyed his hand before taking it. Although I pursed my lips in annoyance at him, he smiled at me."You
