Puck, Passion, and Broken Promises WHY DID YOU RETURN?
The castle glows in the morning light.Pink and gold. Like something from a fairy tale. Like something from a dream. Like something I never thought I'd have. Like something I was too afraid to hope for.Noah is between us. His little hands in ours. His feet barely touching the ground. He's swinging. Laughing. His laugh is the most beautiful sound in the world. It echoes off the ancient stones."Higher, Daddy!""Higher?""Higher! Higher! To the sky! To the clouds! To the castle!"Ethan lifts him. Spins him. Noah's laugh echoes off the castle walls. Off the turrets. Off the sky itself. Off my heart.I watch them. My heart is so full it might burst. I didn't know love could feel like this. I didn't know happiness could exist like this."I want to ask you something," Ethan says.His voice is serious. Vulnerable. Open. Like he's about to say something he's been holding in for years. Like he's about to open a door he's been afraid to open."What?"He sets Noah down gently. Kneels in front o
Puck, Passion, and Broken Promises THE PHOTOGRAPH HIDDEN
The hotel room is quiet.Ethan is asleep. Noah is asleep. The city lights glow through the window. The castle sparkles in the distance like a dream you can touch. Like a promise you can keep. Like a future you can finally believe in.I can't sleep.My mind is racing. Too many thoughts. Too many memories. Too much everything. Too many years of silence finally catching up with me. Too many years of pretending I was fine. Too many years of running. Too many years of telling myself I didn't need him.I'm going through my bag. Looking for my phone charger. My hands move automatically. Tired. Searching. Not really paying attention. Just moving. Just existing. Just trying to find something to do with my restless hands.My fingers find something else.A photo.Hidden. Old. Tucked in my wallet. Behind my driver's license. Behind my credit cards. Behind everything. Behind every wall I built. Behind every lie I told myself. Behind every night I cried alone.Three years ago.Ethan and me.Happy.
Puck, Passion, and Broken Promises THE ALMOST SMILE
I wake up to find Ethan already awake.He's propped on his elbow. Watching me. His eyes are soft. The morning light catches his face. He looks peaceful for the first time in weeks. The shadows under his eyes are lighter. The tension in his jaw is gone. He looks like the man I fell in love with. The man I never stopped loving."What?""Nothing. Just looking.""At what?""At you. At us. At everything." He traces my jaw with his finger. His touch is featherlight. "At the woman who saved my life.""I didn't save your life. You saved yourself. I just... helped. I just showed up.""Yes you did. You saved me from myself. From my father. From my own destruction. From the person I was becoming. From the person he wanted me to be. From the person I was afraid I already was.""Ethan—""I know you don't believe it. But it's true. I was a wreck before you came back. A hollow shell pretending to be a man. I was going through the motions. Playing hockey. Smiling for cameras. Sleeping with women I di
Puck, Passion, and Broken Promises I WON'T BREAK FIRST
The morning is perfect.Sunlight streaming through the windows like liquid gold. Noah laughing in the kitchen, his little voice carrying through the house like music. Ethan's ring warm on my finger, a constant reminder that this is real. That we made it. That we're finally here. That the nightmare is over.Then his phone rings.He answers. Listens. His face goes pale. The color drains so fast I think he might collapse. His hand tightens on the phone. His jaw goes slack."He died," he says. His voice is hollow. Empty. Like someone scooped out everything inside him. "My father died.""What?""He died. Five minutes ago. He just—he died." Ethan's voice breaks. The sound is raw. Primal. Like something tearing inside him. Like a wound that never healed. "I didn't even get to say goodbye. I didn't get to tell him I forgave him. I didn't get to—"I pull him into my arms. Hold him tight against me. His body shakes. His breath comes in ragged gasps. His hands grip my back like I'm the only thin
Puck, Passion, and Broken Promises LOCKED INSIDE HIS WORLD
I wake up in his bed.His arms are around me. His ring is on my finger. The morning light filters through the curtains like a promise. Like everything is finally right. Like the universe has finally stopped trying to tear us apart."Good morning, fiancée," he whispers. His voice is rough with sleep. His breath is warm on my neck."Good morning.""I have a surprise for you.""What kind of surprise?""The kind that changes everything."He leads me to the living room. My heart is pounding. What could he possibly have planned? It's too early for anything normal. Noah is usually still asleep at this hour. The house is quiet except for the sound of my heartbeat.Noah is there. Standing in the middle of the room. His dinosaur pajamas are on backwards again. His hair is a wild mess. He's holding a sign. It's crooked. The letters are wobbly. He obviously made it himself. There's glitter. There are stickers. There are dinosaur footprints drawn in marker."Will you be my mommy forever?"My heart
Puck, Passion, and Broken Promises HIS RULES BEGIN
The morning sun streams through the kitchen windows like honey. Warm. Golden. The kind of light that makes everything feel possible.I'm making coffee. The scent fills the air. Noah is at the table, tongue sticking out in concentration, drawing dinosaurs. Again. Always dinosaurs. Stegosaurus. T-Rex. Pterodactyl. He knows them all by name.Ethan is... nowhere.I find him in his office. Papers spread across the mahogany desk. His laptop open. His face focused like he's solving a puzzle. A puzzle with no easy answer."What are you doing?""Working.""At 7 AM?""Some of us have jobs."I laugh. "You're a hockey player. Your job is on the ice. At night. When people pay to watch you.""My job is whatever I want it to be." He doesn't look up from the papers. "And right now, I want it to be this.""This?"He slides a document across the desk. "Sign this."I pick it up. My eyes scan the words. My heart stops beating."What is this?""A contract.""I can see that. What kind of contract?""A lega
Puck, Passion, and Broken Promises COLD AIR, COLDER EYES
The prison visitation room smells like disinfectant and despair.Gray walls. Gray floor. Gray light filtering through barred windows. The kind of light that makes everything look washed out. Dead. Ethan stands at the glass partition, hands in his pockets, face unreadable. His jaw is tight. His shou
Puck, Passion, and Broken Promises HE KNOWS MY FACE
The press room is packed.Every seat filled. Cameras lining the back wall. Reporters elbow to elbow, phones raised, recorders ready.I stand behind the curtain. My hands are shaking. My heart is pounding."You don't have to do this," Ethan says."Yes I do.""We can cancel. We can reschedule. We can
Puck, Passion, and Broken Promises YOU WORK FOR ME NOW
The motel room door explodes inward.Men in black. Tactical gear. Guns drawn. The fluorescent light from the hallway floods the room like a searchlight."Get on the ground! Now!"Ethan throws himself over Noah. His body covers our son completely. His hand finds my arm. Pulls me down too."Federal a
Puck, Passion, and Broken Promises SIGN THE CONTRACT
Vanessa bursts through the door at 6 AM.Her hair is wild. Her eyes are wilder. She's still wearing last night's clothes."Darius knows about the FBI."I'm on my feet before my brain catches up. "What?""He has a contact in the building. Someone who saw you. Someone who told him everything."Ethan
