MasukSince I can’t drink alcohol, I decided we can do some mocktails. I tried a few recipes from You-Tube and they turned out great, so I want to make some for Lilly.I grab a cart and make my way inside, already mentally listing what I need.I’m just about to get in when I glance toward the café adjacen
My phone buzzes as I step out of the car. I put it against my ear, balancing it between my shoulder and cheek and answer it while I grab my bag.“Please don’t tell me you’re late,” Adrian says, his voice warm and amused.We’d talked yesterday, and I’d told him I’d be getting my cast off today. He sa

Chapter 123. I’ve read about selective amnesia. I came across it when I was researching brain injuries. I just never thought that it would affect Ava. “Selective amnesia means that Ava has forgotten some events of her life, and that is the last four years. In some cases, she may remember all her m
I grin at her. We find one pretty quickly and soon enough, we are settled. Our food arrive about ten minutes later. We basically ordered the same thing. Fries, burger, chicken wings and milkshakes.
