I only planned to when someone would make me. I didn’t know if anyone else was awake until I heard Jaylyn and Troy across the room. “Morning.” Jaylyn said. “Sleep well?” “Well enough. I enjoy being awake with you much more.” ...
I was most happy to see his mood change. I was getting worried for him when he was spending all of his time alone. The loss of his parents put a dark shadow over him and I didn’t know when it would be lifted. It’s been two years of it but it would seem Seth’s youth helped with his desperate desir...
It was the morning of Zayden’s and everyone was awake in his room, waiting for him to get ready for the day. He walked out of the bathhouse in a towel and an extremely good mood like he actually bit me to get that way but he didn’t. “So, everyone ready for the excitement of the unknown?” &n...
I’m sure it would be about something else later the longer we’re together but I still couldn’t believe that he didn’t tell her. Sure, it wasn’t a fun topic.
