LOGINI 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

“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
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
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
“Why did you lie to them?” Lilly whispers in my ear as I watch my aunties bustling in the kitchen, pulling out bowls and trays like they were planning a feast instead of a snack.“What was I supposed to do?” I whisper back. “Noah wants nothing to do with this baby and honestly, I don’t want him in o
