For the first time in a while, Emily had been glad that the diner was busy. A football game had ended in victory, and it seemed like the entire city had emptied out of their homes into every bar available to celebrate. Now that it was edging toward midnight, people were drunk and hungry, which made Emily’s place of work the perfect place for rowdy football fans.

Emily had already been pinched, asked out, and had her breasts stared at, but she was used to it. If she acted like a dimwit, usually the guys left her alone. If some guy got too handsy, Lawrence would take care of him.

And if not Lawrence, then Jenson would. Burly and taciturn, Jenson had worked as the cook at The Dine in Five for probably longer than Emily had been alive. Covered in tattoos, Emily had heard he’d been in jail for years, but she still didn’t know why he’d been put behind bars.

“I need onions on this one,” she said, pointing to the burger under the warmer.

Jenson grunted, lifting up the bun and slapping some

    After ten takes that lasted throughout the morning and into the afternoon, Lucy Younger heard her stomach growl so loudly that she was pretty sure anyone within a five-mile radius would’ve heard it, too.“Cut!” yelled the director, Jim Stanton. Jim had a swath of silver hair that tended to expand outward as the day progressed. Lucy wondered if it was from the humidity, or if Jim’s hair expanded as he got more irritable with every take that he inevitably hated. It was rather like watching a cat fluff out its fur, arching and hissing at some threat.“That’s a wrap for now,” said Jim. “Go get some lunch.” He shot Lucy a sardonic glance, and she had a feeling he’d heard her stomach growling. Well, if he let them have lunch breaks before three in the afternoon, she wouldn’t be so damn hungry!Lucy had arrived on Hazel Island in the Puget Sound to film The Last Goodbye a week ago. It was her first movie, and although it was a smaller indie one, it was a huge opportunity for her. If she co

  • All I Want Is You: The Youngers Book 3   Epilogue

    Emily closed her eyes as she lay down on the soft grass. With the sun shining and the breeze cool, it was the first truly warm day of spring. After a little persuasion, she’d managed to get Phin to agree to picnic at Willamette Park, not far from Emily’s apartment.It wasn’t that Phin didn’t want to spend time with her. On the contrary, they spent as much time together as either could manage. It was just that Phin enjoyed spendingprivatetime with Emily, and he told her with a heated smile that he couldn’t seduce her when little kids and old people were within close proximity.“What are you smiling about?” said Phin as he sat down next to her.She opened one eye. “Do I have to have a specific reason?”“I thought this morning might be the reason why you’re smiling.”Considering what they’d done this morning—and where—Emily just smiled wider and closed her eyes again.Phin didn’t say anything for a while, but Emily knew it wasn’t because he was keeping something from her

    Strangely enough, Emily felt almost energized after her encounter with Sterling. Or maybe it was just the leftover adrenaline that kept her smiling and laughing and taking orders that evening, like she didn’t have a care in the world.If she thought too hard about what Sterling had said, she knew she would stop smiling. And if she thought about how Phin would react once he found out? Well, she decided that she’d think about that later. Preferably in a million years, when it might not seem so daunting.On her break, she wandered into the kitchen and sat down heavily on a stool in the corner. Her stomach rumbled with hunger, but she ignored it. She was still too on edge to keep anything down.Jenson eyed her as he finished slapping a hamburger together. “You look like shit,” he said without preamble.“You’re such a charmer.”He grunted. “Just speaking the truth.” His eyes narrowed as he took in her appearance. Emily had thought she looked as she always did, but then again, Jenson wa

    It took Phin a week to admit to Emily that Sterling had submitted an official complaint to the bar association. It was late at night. Emily curled up next to Phin, but neither of them could sleep.She had known something was eating at him. He kept telling her it was nothing, but with enough badgering, he’d caved and told her the news.Now, they both lay silently. Emily’s mind whirled with how she could fix this for Phin. She knew he would tell her to leave well enough alone, and it wasn’t that she didn’t trust that he knew what he was talking about. It was more that she knew that she’d caused this to happen in the first place.“I’ll take care of it,” said Phin into the dark room. “I didn’t want to tell you because I knew you’d worry.”Emily didn’t answer. She didn’t know whether to find it comforting that he didn’t want to worry her, or to be annoyed that he thought she was so fragile that she couldn’t handle the truth.A few days later, she sat in the district attorney’s office,
