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
He doesn’t move or speak. He doesn’t even blink for a second.Then finally, after what feels like decades, he breathes, “What the fuck…”“Exactly what I thought," I say, looking at a spot on the floor.“I thought she was bad,” he continues, running a hand through his hair, pacing now. “I thought sh
I don’t know how long I’ve been sitting here… Minutes? Hours? Days?Time doesn’t make sense anymore. Not after everything I read. Not after everything I know now.I’ve been sitting here, wracking my brain, trying to understand how I missed it all these years. How I never once got even the slightest

This time I can’t stop the laughter bubbling out of me. Of all the ridiculous things Lilly has ever said, this one takes the crown.“You’ve lost your mind, Lilly,” I tell her once I catch my breath. “Why would you try to hook up a man with a pregnant woman?”She opens her mouth, but I cut her off be
“Please! I’m perfectly fine… I’ll settle down when I find a man that can tame me in all aspects” she winks at me.I chuckle. At least she’s self-aware. With her personality, Lilly needs someone who can match her. Someone she can’t walk all over. She needs a dominant male; otherwise, she’ll continue
“Let me get this straight—you came all the way to my house just to tell me to stay away from Noah?” I ask, incredulous.For a second, I almost laugh. I thought she was here because of the baby. I know Noah probably already told her, but to show up on my doorstep, spitting threats like some watchdog?
It's like he was put under a hypnotizing spell, because he never wanted to hear a negative word when it came to those two.Lilly knows just how bad Chloe was. Chloe was pretty nice to us when she joined our school at fourteen, but everything changed and her colors started to show immediately after s
