All I Want Is You: The Youngers Book 3 Chapter 1
Sighing deeply, her feet aching from standing all afternoon and evening, Emily Lassiter glanced at the clock on the wall of The Dine in Five and wanted to sigh all over again. She still had two hours left on her shift.Normally her waitressing shifts went by quickly, but tonight there was a dearth of customers, which meant there was only so much work to do. Her boss, Lawrence, had already sent two other waitresses home. Emily was just glad that she got to work tonight—she needed the money rather desperately.“Your table wants more ketchup,” said Lawrence as he passed her in the hallway. Middle-aged and married with three kids, Lawrence had been like a father figure to Emily ever since she’d gotten this job two years ago. When he looked at her pale face, he added, “You okay, kid?”Emily forced herself to smile. “Fine. Ketchup, you said? I’ll go get that.”Lawrence looked like he didn’t believe her, but thankfully his phone rang, effectively distracting him. Emily went to the kitchen

Phin Younger tapped his pen against the table as he waited for somebody from the DA’s office to show up for this court case. Phin’s client, a sixteen-year-old who’d been the driver of a getaway car for his friend who’d committed a robbery—slumped in his chair despite Phin’s admonition that he should sit up.Josh Lassiter was tall and bulky for his age and looked much older than sixteen. He had a sulky turn to his mouth that Phin had recognized the second he’d shaken the kid’s hand and introduced himself as his court-appointed lawyer. Josh had sneered and told him in no uncertain terms that he was wasting his time.Phin often felt like he was wasting his time—or rather, like he was fighting a losing battle with these cases. As a court-appointed lawyer who worked in the county’s public defender’s office, Phin got the cases of people who couldn’t afford a fancy lawyer. Phin was his client’s only chance at either getting out of prison or at least getting less time. But with more and more

Emily tried to calm her racing heart as she waited to see Josh’s lawyer later that week. When Mr. Younger had told her that Josh could go to prison for close to six years, she’d wanted to throw up. He wasn’t even eighteen yet! And he hadn’t even been the one to rob that store. How could that be fair or just?“Ms. Lassiter?” Mr. Younger entered the tiny waiting room at the public defender’s office. “Come on back.”Emily followed him, once again admiring how young and handsome he was. When she’d first seen him in the courtroom, she’d almost demanded to know how old he was because he seemed too young to know what he was doing. She’d been afraid he wasn’t really a lawyer but instead some intern practicing on her poor brother. But, no, according to everything she’d found online, Phineas Younger, J.D., was as much a lawyer as she was a broke waitress and former model. He’d graduated at the top of his class from the University of Oregon, and he’d been working as a public defender since he’d

Phin had lied about having another appointment because he’d needed to get Emily out of his office. She presented too much of a temptation to him, which bothered him immensely. He wasn’t the type of guy who was easily tempted. He kept to himself, and it had worked for twenty-eight years of his life.When he sat down heavily in his office chair, he stared at nothing for a long moment. Until a voice broke through his disordered thoughts.“Who’s the new client?” Katherine, Phin’s coworker and only real friend within the office, sat down on the edge of his desk with a smile. Happily married with kids, Katherine was somehow convinced that everyone else needed the same things in life to be happy.Phin, however, had so far resisted her best efforts to pair him up with one of her girlfriends.“Sixteen-year-old brother arrested for aiding and abetting a robbery,” he replied.Katherine whistled. “Damn. That’s serious. You gonna do a plea?”“Most likely. I’m not sure we have any other option

Emily stared at the words in her GED textbook and her head started pounding within moments. Squinting, she forced herself to concentrate, sounding out the words, only to realize that it had taken her over fifteen minutes to go through one page.How was she going to get her GED at this rate when she could scarcely read the study materials?Humiliation made her cheeks scarlet. This was why she studied at home, and this was the one instance where she was glad Josh wasn’t here to see her struggle.Oh God, I’m so selfish to think that! My little brother is in a detention center and I’m happy he’s not here.She rubbed her eyes, like it would somehow make the letters behave. It wasn’t the longer words that tripped her up—sometimes it was the shorter ones, the ones that could be any number of words, likewonornow.She hated homophones in particular: there, their, and they’re were her mortal enemies. And when she was especially tired or anxious, her dyslexia seemed to

Early as always, Phin waited outside the detention center and decided to call his brother Ash to waste time. He told himself he wasn’t loitering outside so he could run into Emily, but it was a big, fat lie.“Phin! I thought you were dead. Thanks for finally calling me back,” said Ash with a laugh. “How’s it going?”Ash had called Phin three times in the last week to talk about getting Phin fitted for his tuxedo, but between three different clients and Katherine haunting his office with offhand comments about going on dates with various women she knew, Phin had completely forgotten to call his older brother back.“Not dead,” answered Phin dryly, “although I feel like I should be.”“Don’t die before my wedding, because then we’ll have an uneven number of bridesmaids to groomsmen and Violet will have a fit.”When Phin was younger, he would’ve taken Ash’s comment at face value. It was only as he’d gotten older that he realized that most people tended to say the opposite of what they
