Kassidy's POV

When I woke up later that night, it was to a blinding headache. My eyelids felt like lead, and my skull pounded with every beat of my heart. I rolled over on the mattress, squinting against the dim light, and checked the time on my alarm clock.

It was 9:17 in the night.

"Ugh!" I muttered and sat up slowly, resting my face in my hands as my eyes throbbed from the wine I had chugged earlier.

I shuffled over to the living room, seeing that Marcus and Celeste had left. The apartment w

    Kassidy's POV."Stop moving your head, or I am going to mess up this eyeliner!" Celeste instructed, holding a thin black brush inches from my face.I sat in front of a wide wooden vanity mirror, staring at my reflection in the bright lights of the dressing room. The room was filled with the scent of hairspray and Celeste's expensive vanilla perfume. Only the scent from the fresh white roses arranged in glass vases along the windowsill was calming to my nose. Celeste had somehow managed to force me into this emerald green dress made of silk that fell gracefully down to my ankles, hugging my waist perfectly before flaring out into a soft A-line skirt. I would have opted for something less flamboyant, but where Celeste was concerned, I had no say. This day reminded me of one night from so many years ago, when Celeste had forced me into a tiny denim miniskirt for a club night."I can't help it," I replied her, letting out a nervous breath as I gripped the edges of the wooden vanity stool

    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
