“Let’s not forget the chocolate bunnies and cookies. We need to make sure Jenna feels warm and welcome.” She spoke as she patted my arm, making me smile as I heard the way my baby sister was speaking about the love of my life. In a way, they could be a handful, but I still loved them all dearly and I wouldn't want to change anything about them. Not even Blade or Skye. “Jenna’s not five. But thank you though.” I nodded, following her downstairs into the kitchen. Somehow, I just couldn’t shake my nerves. Jenna was special to me, and I wanted everything to be perfect for her tonight as well.Just as I made it down the stairs, the front door opened and Gran walked inside. I almost immediately noticed the glint of mischief in her eyes, and I wondered if she already had something to drink back at home with Mindy before coming here. Knowing her, she probably did. The little minx. “Gran.”

“That’s amazing Koda!” Eluna yelped, standing up to hug her brother immediately."And if you still have a job opening, it's mine, right?" She added, seeing how Koda smiled back at her as if it was already a done deal between them.“Congratulations, your dream is finally becoming a reality.” Selene smiled, hugging her brother as soon as Eluna had let him go.“This is quite the undertaking, Koda. Have you thought everything through?” Adam asked him, his fatherly role popping up. But The squeeze he gave my hand underneath the table, made me realize that Adam was in fact, very proud of his brother’s decision.“I went over to Barry and had another serious conversation with him, about what I saw in the future of his place, and how I want to run it, and he got all emotional once I was done and finally accepted. He told me that he was happy, that he can now finally retire and move to Florida with his wife.” He

Adam’s P.O.V.The soft glow of the morning sun filtered through Jenna’s curtains, casting a warm golden hue across the room. I stirred, blinking against the light as I slowly became aware of my surroundings. I felt the soft warmth of blankets and the unmistakable sensation of Jenna’s presence beside me. A soft smile tugged at my lips as I turned my head to look at her. There she was, her blonde hair splayed across the pillow, her face peaceful in slumber as she was lying on her tummy, her arms tucked underneath her pillow. She looked like an angel, and I couldn’t feel like the luckiest man alive.Home...she asked me to come to her home. In my book, this was a massive step in the right direction. Last night, we didn't end up in the same bed purely out of lust for each other, she had asked me to spend the night with her, wanting me to be with her. I leaned in closer, pressing a kiss to her forehead, h

Jenna’s P.O.V.As I made my way towards the High School building, the anticipation in my chest felt like a swarm of butterflies taking flight. Today was not just an ordinary day, it was a culmination of months of planning and preparation, a day that would hold a special place in my heart for a long time to come. It marked the grand opening of the library and a double celebration, the graduation party of Adam’s two sisters. But for me, it held a significance that transcended the joy of the occasion.Weeks had already passed since Adam and I had made our relationship official to all of Fairview. And the past weeks had been nothing short of magical in my book, maybe that was why it felt as if time was just flashing by us. Every moment spent with Adam felt like a cherished memory in the making. We had navigated the delicate dance of love and commitment, and the connection between us had only deepened with time. I cared about Adam more than I had ever cared abou

Jenna’s P.O.V.The anticipation was electric, as I stood before the grand entrance of the new High School’s library. It was a momentous occasion, not only for the entire community of Fairview but also for me personally. This was a project that my company had poured its heart and soul into, a project that honored the memory of my late uncle, Ben. As the invited guests began to gather around the entrance, I couldn’t help but feel a swell of pride and gratitude. This library was more than just bricks and mortar, it was a living tribute to my uncle’s passion and love for books. It was a testament to the values he had instilled in me, the values that had shaped my journey, and my determination to carry on his legacy after he had passed.The ribbon-cutting ceremony was about to begin, and I was joined by dignitaries, educators, and members of the community. The giant scissors glinted in the light of the stage lights displaye
