LOGINEPILOGUE “Go, go, go!” Sebastian screamed from next to me, standing and leaning over the person in front of him as if Ben could hear him over the crowd and the glass. Then again, with how loud the man was, he just might. I had only known Bash in passing from when I worked for Ben as his assista
HAVEN ONE MONTH LATER My eyes kept moving from the woman before me to the clock on the wall behind her. I wanted to be here, but I had more important places to be. She had run over with her last client, which made us run over and caused me to be late for an important game. Ben had been stressin
BEN Haven was empty for the next few weeks as she flew back and forth, cleaning out the house her ex-husband had left her. It had been Cynthia’s home, too, and Haven had been taking extra care and devotion to ensuring things were handled and gone through properly. I had gone with her a few times,
HAVEN Her hand was cold, and I adjusted her blanket to cover her arm. The lawyers had come in and refused to admit any fault of the hospital, even though Cynthia had her ID on her and even knew one of the paramedics who brought her in for them to have given the hospital her name. They should ha

BEN The flight home was one of the most uncomfortable plane rides I had ever been on, and I had once been trapped on a private jet with Mason and a stewardess loudly fucking in the private bedroom in the back. This made that look tame, and everyone on this flight remained seated the entire time.
HAVEN Cynthia and Siri were outside, enjoying the pool while I polished up my resume, and I smiled as I heard them giggling. I would miss Cynthia when she returned home, but I hoped she would see how nice life here could be and would decide to stay. “Haven?” Ben’s voice rang through the house,
BEN I could hear the kitchen sink turn on, telling me that Haven wasn’t going to listen to me and let me clean up from dinner. She was stubborn, but it was one of the things I loved about her. Jake glanced back and forth between Haven behind me and Sierra, who hadn't bothered to say goodbye and s
BEN It shouldn’t matter where she chose to lie down, but I also had this uncontrollable need to know if she had chosen my bed or if she had gone into the guest room. If she had chosen the guest room, it felt like it would be a bad omen for the start of our marriage… not that we’ve had a great st
