ログインI never pried because I thought that once we were more serious in our relationship, I’d meet them because they were part of his circle, just like he would get to meet Lilly.Looking back at those conversations…I should have asked more. I should have pushed. I should have at least asked for a name. M
SIERRA.“Adrian?”The name leaves Noah’s lips like a ghost.His name and the familiarity in it loops in my mind on repeat, echoing over and over no matter how hard I try to shut it out.“Noah?”Besides me, Adrian stills as if he’s seen a ghost. He looks at Noah like he doesn’t trust what he is curre

NoahThe hum of the car blends with Nolan’s off-key singing from the backseat, a tune I couldn’t place but one he’s singing with so much conviction I didn’t have the heart to stop him.Beside him, Nova is trying to braid her doll’s hair while instructing her brother, rather loudly, that he's singing
Sierra.It’s been a couple of days since my confrontation with Noah. Am I okay? Definitely not. I’m still fucking pissed off and, if I’m being honest, hurt.I never expected him to welcome this pregnancy with open arms, but to outright suggest I get an abortion? That broke something in me.
