" Simon, you're early." Aine said sleepily when she opened up the door by fifteen minutes to seven in the morning, her dog wagging his tail beside her excitedly.

He smiled and pulled her in for a quick hug before walking into her house, "decided we needed an early head-start."

"why do you sound so excited?" she asked irritated by how chipper he was, he caught and could help the grin that spread out across his face. his friend was not and had never been a morning person, and so how she survived

    He watched while she slept, as night gave way to dawn, a start of a new day. And as he looked at her, he weighed the choices that were laid before him.He had already brought so much misfortune to her, she could any differently, but he knew better. Before him, she only had the anxiety that came from time to time with her life with Callum. And that was all of it. But then he came into town, brought his ghosts with him, brought those ghosts into her life and he couldn't take it all away, he could take back his options. And God knew, he didn't regret them enough, because all of that meant he got to be loved by a woman as precious as Aine O'Connell.But at what costs?All the suffering she'd endured, because she wouldn't give up on their love. Because he didn't know how to let her go. He drew closer to her and ran his hand gently over her bandage. She'd suffered a mild concussion, but the doctor said she'd be find, she just had to take it easy. He could give her that, God knew he wanted t

    WHEN SHE was a child she'd heard stories of heaven. It was a place where all the good people went after their lives on earth. In that place there wasn't any pain, any sorrow, any anxiety, or separation from the people you loved. And she had fallen in love with the place called heaven. Had yearned for it in her innermost heart.Was that where she was now? Or was she simply floating?And if it was a place where all her loved ones were, where were her parents? Where was Dante? Where was Bryan?Yes, where she was beautiful. A garden, and a bench where she sat, with a stream close by. She got up from the bench and walked to a man who when he turned around greeted her with a warm smile and kind eyes. She might have known him, her heart told her she knew him, but she didn't remember him." Can I help you with something miss?" she bit her lower lip and looked around before looking up back at him,"Maybe. Could you tell me where I am?"His smile grew, and he gently said, "Well, you're in betwe

    IF THERE EVER comes a day when you might worry about the wellbeing of an ex. Know that you worry for the love that once was, not for the love that you wish there could be. These thoughts floated through Aine's mind as she sat shot gun in Winslow's car on their way to Rhoda's.He had fought her decision to follow him, she had fought right back. In the end she had won. So she'd called Bryan on the way, and although she heard his worry, she made him understand how she couldn't stay in the shop while that deranged woman sang victory. Eventually Cedric had closed shop and stayed with Bridget until he got word that was well." There are about five cops in that house holding her down, so the worst is passed." he said when they reached the cabin, but Aine shook her head," No it isn't , Callum's being shot.""he'll be fine. She didn't hit anything vital." Aine just nodded, "I still want to see her."Winslow just shook his head, "I'll be out with her in a moment. Just wait here." She wanted

    "I SAW HER, did you?" Aine asked tiredly on their way back home." The woman in black, close to the pianist. Yes. She was there for the longest time. I sent Winslow a text, he replied with "on to it.' my guess is he was there tonight."She blew out a breath, "it took everything in me to not react when I spotted her." he turned to her as he drove and smiled,"me too. And my guess is that you saw from the moment you scanned the room that first time."" Yeah, you?"" the very moment she walked in. there was a time she couldn’t look away, so I had to keep my eyes averted."" The nerve of that woman."" She's getting bolder.""and sloppy." Bryan nodded,"Too sloppy.""And so overconfidence kills the rat." Aine said with quiet indignance. And Bryan chuckled.~~~"well done, baiting her like that." Winslow said to them the next morning at Aine's place before she had to make her way to the shop,"except we weren't trying to." Bryan said quietly,"We were genuinely trying to have a good time.

    BRYAN ROSE UP indignantly."that's out of the question. We aren't using Aine for bait. In fact, if I had my way, that woman never so much as breathe in the same air that Aine breathes."Winslow looked at him, doing his best to hide the sadness, he felt. He knew Bryan wouldn't like what he said, he had expected nothing else." Bryan…" Aine said softly, rising and taking his head as she did, "Let's at least hear what he needs to say, it might not be that bad." she said with a smile.But Winslow wasn't fooled. He could see the distress in her eyes.Winslow waited until Bryan was sitting again before he spoke and he chose to be direct, not to beat around the bush. He meant everything he had to say, even if he didn't knew it would not sit well with his audience,"Alright then, I'm all ears." Bryan drawled out. Winslow heaved out a sigh,"like I said, I think we could lure her if we dandle Aine in front of her.. Actually, if we dangle the both of you and what you have. My guess is, she'll
