Kassidy's POV

When I opened my eyes the next morning, the space beside me was empty. I sat up in bed, looking around the quiet room, wondering how I had ended up under the covers. The last thing I clearly remembered was having sex with Eli on the floor of the living room, surrounded by all the emotion and anger we had been carrying for four long years. He must have carried me into the bedroom after I slept off.

I pulled myself out of bed, grabbing a blue shirt from my suitcase, and pulled it ov

    Kassidy's POV.It was Christmas Eve night, and my living room was lit up by the glow of the tree lights, with holiday music playing from the speakers. Marcus, Celeste, Eli, Summer, and I had just finished a loud family dinner. The dining table was still scattered with empty wine glasses, crumbs from the roast and pie tins, but nobody cared to clean up just yet. Summer was running around the living room in her holiday pajamas, giggling as Marcus tried to chase her while wearing a silly Santa hat."I'm going to catch you, little elf!" Marcus bellowed, stomping his feet loudly on the hardwood floor as his red felt hat flopped wildly over his eyes."You can't catch me, Uncle Marcus! You're too slow!" Summer squealed, darting behind the armchair and poking her head out to stick her tongue out at him."Slow?" Marcus gasped, clutching his stomach in mock offense. "Eli, did you hear your daughter? She called me slow. I used to play college hockey!""Used to is the key phrase there, big guy,"

    Kassidy's POV"Kassidy, if you spend another five minutes looking at that same shade of red ribbon, I am going to lose my mind," Celeste groaned, pulling my arm toward the next aisle. "Come on, let's go already."I laughed, letting her drag me along through the warm, brightly lit store. Celeste had come to visit for the Christmas holidays, bringing Marcus with her. It was mid-December now, a few months after our return to Texas, and our life had finally found a good rhythm. It was astonishing how natural it all felt now compared to the chaos of a few months ago. Eli had rented a house just ten minutes away from my place, spending almost every evening having dinner with us and taking Summer to the park after work.Every single day, he proved that his promise back in Hudson Falls wasn't just cheap talk. He was there for every little milestone in our daughter's life. To make the upcoming holidays extra special, Celeste and Marcus even flew down from Wisconsin to spend Christmas week with

    Elijah's POV.It had been two weeks since my sister was laid to rest beside our mom, outside of town in the private cemetery of our family. I was not over it yet, but I knew I had to be strong for Kassidy and our daughter.David had completed all the necessary paperwork, meaning that Kassidy's temporary assignment in Wisconsin was coming to an end. I heard the taping of a cardboard box in the kitchen, accompanied by Celeste's voice guiding Kassidy as they wrapped Summer's stuff in butcher paper. Marcus stepped away from a stack of folded towels, wiping his hands on his jeans as he crossed the living room rug. He clapped a hand on my shoulder, jerking his chin toward the glass door."Come on outside," Marcus said. "Let us get some air."I silently pushed myself up from the sofa and followed him through the sliding glass door onto the narrow balcony. Marcus closed the glass door behind us, cutting off the noise from inside the apartment.He rested his forearms on the metal bar, staring

    Kassidy's POV.I stood beside Eli at Piper's bedside in the ICU room, listening to the slow beep of the heart monitor. The low light from the corner lamps madd the small space feel even more isolated from the rest of the world. The only noise filling the silence was that rhythmic electronic pulse, counting down the precious few moments we had left. Piper looked so tiny and frail against the white sheets, her skin pale and her hair full of gray strands, but her eyes were clear and focused as she looked up at her brother. The aggressive illness had taken so much from her body over the months, but right now, it was clear that her spirit was present.Piper reached out her hand slightly, her thin fingers twitching against the blanket. Eli immediately dropped to his knees beside the bed and held her fingers with tears streaming down his face. He pressed his forehead against the edge of the mattress, his body shaking with deep sobs."Eli..." Piper's voice was not much above a whisper."I'm r

    Elijah's POVI couldn't focus on the spread of financial acquisition files scattered across my desk. I leaned back in my chair, staring blankly at the wall as my thoughts kept spiraling back to that morning. I was still thinking about that guy I had seen in Kassidy's apartment, who was that? The way he stood in her living room so confidently, made me angry and slightly jealous just thinking about it. I made a mental note to ask her about it.After leaving Kassidy's apartment, I had gone to the hospital where Piper was earlier, and the doctor had told me that she was unconscious but currently stable, but things could go south any moment. The thought of losing Piper squeezed at my gut. She was my only sister, the only blood family I had left to fight for. I was terrified.Just then, my phone buzzed violently on the table. The harsh vibration made me jolt slightly I snatched it up instantly, my eyes locking onto the caller ID. It was the lead oncologist from the specialty center where Pi

    Kassidy's POVI did not leave my apartment throughout that day after Caleb angrily left, and even the next day. Every time I closed my eyes, I just saw the look of total disappointment on his face. I couldn't eat or focus on work. My stomach was churning with guilt, and the silence in the apartment felt suffocating.I rested my chin on my palm, looking down at my phone. My fingers were trembling slightly as I typed out the message on the screen, reading it over three times before hitting send.ME: Caleb, please. I know you're furious with me, and you have every right to be. But after everything we've been through as friends over the last four years, you deserve a proper explanation and a real apology from me. Please let me buy you coffee before your flight back to Texas. Just ten minutes. That's all I'm asking for.I waited for him to reply for ten more minutes after that, but nothing came. Just as I had given up hope and was ready to go back to bed, a chime from my phone made me turn
