    "You like the challenge," he mused. "You might even thrive on it. Who's to say this isn't to help give you practice." Her freelance activities were...well... Who was he to judge? "Did you test out the suit I made you?" With Gwen it was always a 50/50 if she took him on on his aid. It started...

    Her favorite bottle, the glass chilled to the touch as if her entrance was to be expected. He didn't leave from his arm chair, looking at his watch intently before going back to the article. "Princess Charlotte is far too young for my taste, besides the monarchy has seen better days." He did...

    "Em...our parents are bigger than stupid boys," her sleeve wiped her eye, but it was too late. The sniffle huff came out before the tears fell. "That's something we are both going through. I'm your sister; we should go through that together." That meant Ryan just needed to be insignificant. He...

    She quit her job. Seeing Em's eyes widen as she mentioned only solidified that maybe she was crazy after all. Like she told that little kid, sometimes crazy was needed to get things done. Em said she didn't have to talk about it, but maybe that was wrong. Molly felt uncomfortable in her own...

    That wasn't bad for a $150 hustle. Molly was very different from her teacher. Ms. Moore was very calm, soft-spoken and would encourage you to express what you were feeling. Molly was high energy, jittery, and all over the place. Robyn noticed that if the girl were left alone in her thoughts, her...

    Molly poured hot water into two mugs. Tea settled the nerves. She wasn't much of a coffee person like her sister. It was a running joke back in Boston that Moore hated coffee. She'd shotgun a triple espresso just to chase it down with orange juice or whatever drink. Espressos were quick and did...

    Molly had done a very impulsive and reckless thing. Her boss had made it a point to bring that up.

    "See this? This is why you're struggling owning a business. That's just now the real world works, sweetheart." Slave and master? Clearly she was dipping into the dramatics again. Emily could pull an oscar winning oh woe is me contest. He left the money on the counter. "You can turn that into...

    Em could put on a blank face all she wanted, but Nick knew her enough to know that when he got that look, he already won. Her head was definitely spinning and he'd probably be some extensive journal entry about how cruel and awful he was for not respecting her "feelings" or whatever she wanted...

    The bell chimed, and the good times ended before the door could swing shut. Nicholas Bass knew how to make an entrance. It could be the cologne he wore or Gucci-level style of cowboy boots that hit the ground. Molly wouldn't be surprised if she found out the man's entire outfit cost more than...

    "Jerks," Robyn finished the sentence as her teacher paused. Ms. Moore was very polite. She was that kind of woman that believed if you held your chin up high, sooner or later the right thing would follow. Those were the people you admired in books or a good story, but from Robyn's experience you...

    Robyn Beckett had another rough day at school. Dad kept telling her that it would just take some time to get used to. People in small towns struggled with change, and they were a big change. The right people and the good people would take the time to see the real her, and it would all work...

    Emily was greeted by the loud meow of Ebony the black cat. It took about 2 weeks for her sister's cat to stop clinging to Molly's leg and venture around the house. All the late night texts, phone calls and pictures Molly would send of this cat through the years was strange. Ebony knew how to...
