AVA

“No…”

The sound was so faint that I almost missed it.

I shifted in Caden's embrace, still half-asleep, just as another distressed murmur followed.

“Leave her alone!”

My brows furrowed…perhaps I was dreaming?

That was what I settled on until another cry broke the silence. “Run, Mommy, run!”

The ear-piercing scream jolted me awake. I lifted my head, blinking into the darkness as I tried to make sense of what I'd just heard.

I turned towards Caden, and—shit.

His body was trembling, his foreh

    AVACaden set me down beside the sink before reaching for a new toothbrush and handing it to me.“Thanks,” I muttered.The next few minutes passed with both of us brushing our teeth while chatting about random things. Once we were done, I rinsed my mouth and turned toward the shower in the corner.“So…” I began, already feeling my cheeks warm. “Do you still have that extra sponge?”He arched his brows. “I thought I already answered that.”“I know, but I can’t see any sponge yet.”His lips curved into a knowing smirk. “That’s because you’re still fully clothed. The sponge comes once your clothes are off, baby.”I rolled my eyes, trying to hide my smile as I reached for his jersey, pulling it over my head.Caden, however, had other ideas. He leaned back against the wall, crossing his arms as he watched me.“What?” I asked.“What?” he shot back.“Are you seriously going to stand there and watch me change?”“Should I help you?”“Caden.”“That’s a yes, then.”Before I could protest, he ste

That was what I settled on until another cry broke the silence. “Run, Mommy, run!”The ear-piercing scream jolted me awake. I lifted my head, blinking into the darkness as I tried to make sense of what I'd just heard. I turned towards Caden, and—shit.His body was trembling, his forehead glistening with sweat, and his face was twisted in distress, as though he was trapped in something he couldn't escape.“Caden?” I called softly, touching his shoulder.He shook his head, his fingers tightening around the sheets.“Caden, baby, wake up.” I gently shook him. “It's a dream. You're okay.”“No!”His sudden shout made me flinch.“I hate you! You fucking killed her!”My heart clenched as I reached for him again, but before I could say anything, he jerked awake with a sharp gasp, his

    AVA“Okay, I'm going to freshen up and change before joining you.”I barely took a step before Caden's arms circled my waist, pulling me back against him. “Didn't you just shower when we got back?”Oh, that's true! How did I forget?“Seems like you're in love with your bathroom,” he added, and I chuckled.“I still have to go to my room, though. I need to grab my hoodie; it's cold.”He tilted his head, giving me a look. “Well, I have your perfect size.”“Hmmm.” I pretended to consider his offer. “Sounds like you have a whole boutique for all your girlfriends.”He arched his brows. “Is someone jealous?”I rolled my eyes, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a response. “Well, if you must know, Ms. No one has ever worn my clothes…you'll be the first.”I couldn't help smiling at that. “Oh, really?”“Really.”“Guess I should feel very special then,” I said. “I mean, I am the first woman to put on the clothes of Norwell University's awesome hockey star…”“You're such a sarcastic brat,”

    CADENAva hugged her mom tightly while I stood with one hand in my pocket, watching.She looked so excited to see her mother, unlike me, who had barely spared Grant a glance, let alone greeted him.I mean, how could I? Unlike Ava, I’d grown up dreading my father’s return.“Caden,” Grant called out as I expected. “Didn’t think we were that invisible.”I swallowed hard. “That’s because I have nothing to say.”“Caden,” Diane called gently, shooting me a look before turning to Ava with a smile. “Sweetheart, why don’t you teach him what to say.”Ava glanced at me, and I could practically see the plea in her eyes.I forced a smile, swallowing the resentment threatening to spill out of me. “Good evening, Dad. How are you doing, Diane?”Shit. That sounded so awkward.But Ava’s smile proved that I had done the right thing.“I’m more than okay, my love,” Diane replied warmly, walking over and pulling me into a short hug.It only lasted a few seconds before Grant spoke again.“Come over, eve

    CADEN Ava was standing in front of the driver’s door, arms crossed, when I reached the parking lot.“You’re late, jerk,” she said, shooting me a dangerous glare that made me smile.“I’m sorry,” I replied, walking over to her. “Had a quick chat with Reid. Let’s just say he made sure it wasn’t quick.”She arched her brows. “Hmmm. Is something wrong?”“Not really, but let’s go, I’ll fill you in.”She stretched out her hand, making no move to leave the driver’s doorway.“What are you trying to do?”“What do you think, Caden?” She turned towards the door. “I’m driving your baby today. Consider it compensation for leaving me waiting.”“It’s not my…”“The keys, Caden,” she cut in, her voice firm.No one had ever driven my car because I never let them. But looking at her now, with that audacious, fierce smirk curving on her lips, I handed her the keys.“One scratch, and you're dead, Ava.”“Relax, baby. Your precious car is in safe hands.”We got into the car, and to my surprise, she navigate

    CADENThe next morning I was up early. I mean, I barely slept… I kept tossing around on the couch, the events of the day playing in my head.I took my shower by 5 a.m., and on coming out, I was met with Layla dragging her luggage out.A part of me wanted to tell her she didn’t need to leave this early, but I decided against it. She, in turn, tried having another pep talk, but I was quick to shut it down, bidding her goodbye.It was still about an hour or two before we left for school, and so I headed to the kitchen to prepare a light breakfast for her.You already know who. Yesterday’s revelation has riled me up to do more… become more intentional about my feelings for her and how prepared I was to fight for us.I was almost done when a familiar perfume filled my nostrils, causing a smile on my face.“Hmmm,” she muttered, her footsteps approaching closer. “Someone decided to channel his inner chefism.”I chuckled. “Is there even something like that?”I felt her close, her hands w
