Chapter 11Rowan PriestPOVWalking into my parents’ house holding Grace’s hand, I could feel her sweaty palm, she’s nervous.I pause by the door. “What’s wrong?” I ask her.“We’re meeting your parents…” she whispers.I look at her confused. “So?” I ask.“What if they don’t like me?” she asks.I almost feel bad for the poor girl. She’s still a child and has been thrown to wolves.Before I can say anything, I hear my mother’s voice. “I swear none of my children love me…” my mother rounds the corner.Grace stiffens beside me. I don’t have time before my mother’s in front of us. My mother looks like she always does, a designer dress that fits her like a glove. Her hair tied in a tight bun like it always in.She startles when she sees me. Her eyes widen when her eyes move from me to Grace and then to our joined hands.Her hand goes to her heart. “Gesù, vuoi farmi venire un infarto? Mi è quasi sembrato di vedere un fantasma?” she asks. Glaring at me. {Jesus you want to give me a heart atta

Chapter 12 Grace WilsonPOVThe Priest family is something out of this world. They’re the type of family you see in Hallmark movies. Their mother is loving and very stern with her sons. When Damian gives snide remarks, she glares at him, and he shuts his mouth. When she asks Rowan about planning the wedding and he gives her one-word answers to show he has zero interest in something she glares at him, and he gives her the answers she wants afterward. It’s a family dynamic I’ve only ever seen in movies.Their father is quiet throughout dinner and barely says a word other than put food in his wife’s plate and eat his food. From what I can see he loves his wife dearly. Even when she’s scolding her sons, he has hearts in his eyes.“You, okay?” Rowan asks me.I turn to him, we’re on our way back to his house after dinner. I nod.When Rowan was saying bye to his parents Damian his twin brother approached me and told me I better give up on getting his brother’s love and that he would never l

Grace, can you place your left hand on Rowan’s hand so we can see the ring?” Willis the photographer directs us.Rowan and I follow his instructions.“Can you look over at me and smile.” Willis says before snapping pictures.I do my best to smile.“Grace, I said smile, not give me your best constipated look.” Willis shakes his head.I pout. “I’m sorry…” I apologize. I’m not used to doing any of this.“Grace is a little shy. She’s not used to having her photo taken. Why don’t you try to relax Grace?” Rowan asks.I turn to look at him. My face sandwiched between his hands. He smiles at me. I lift my hands to hold his wrists.“Relax Grace.” He whispers.I’m taken away by how green his eyes are. The camera flashing startles me.I turn to look at Willis wide eyed.“Look at Rowan Grace.” Willis tells me.I startle a nod. I look at Rowan. Why would

You’re really pretty.” She goes on, but I take her hand in mine to stop her from rattling on.She looks at me before quieting down.“You’re making me shy…” Gabby says but the wide smile on her face says she’s looking anything but shy. “What is it you do Grace?” she asks.Grace looks at me for answers.We haven’t talked about it, but I’ve asked Rayna to apply at NYU for her to start studying there. They had the best fine arts program I could find. And it helped a lot that Grace’s gra

I don’t have any friends and Rowan doesn’t have any other family.“The dress is beautiful Grace, but I don’t think this is the dress.” Sandra Priest says biting her lip, her eyes narrowed at the dress.The dress was a tightfitting lace ensemble. Though it’s beautiful and the most expensive thing I’ve had touch my skin in my entire life.I nod and head back into the fitting room with the consultant Samantha. She’s been super helpful, though I was ready to give up an hour ago, my future mother-in-law had other ideas. She was determined to get my dress today.“How about we try on the dusty pink dress you were eyeing?” Samantha asks.I bite my lip.

Chapter 17 Rowan PriestPOVGrace and I walk into the restaurant together, I wrap her in my arms the cameras flashing, and the growing crowd is rowdy, and Grace is cowering into me. I’ve realized she’s not a big fan of large crowds. Spending the month with her, I’ve come to realize whenever we’re near them or she spent the day out she gets nightmares.Though for the first time in years I find myself laughing and genuinely smiling. A lot of the shit that comes out of her mouth is comedic and she’s got no filter.I brought her out to lunch today to celebrate and as payback to burying Hannah’s story I had to give the person she bought off a story worth more. And what do they want? Grace and I on a fucking date.What are we celebrating? We got her acceptance letter for NYU. She was so excited, and I couldn’t tell her my money got her in. Jesus I’ve gone soft. I know it’s only because Grace is genuinely a good person, and she didn’t deserve half the shit she’s been through. If it were any

I didn’t expect to see him with hearts in his eyes. The last thing I expected was in this life was seeing a man incapable as so much as a smile to fucking laugh.Imagine my surprise when I see Rowan laughing, tears in his eyes at something she’s said. He ordered for her, I watched as he kissed her head and held her protectively as they walked in.Watching him not scowl at her. He doesn’t even look at her with the cold look he permanently has on his face. Even when he smiles his eyes are dead cold. But somehow, she gets him to smile even when he isn’t smiling with his mouth, if that makes sense.She looks like
