Jubilee woke up to sunshine and birdsong. It was ridiculous, really, how gorgeous it was going to be today. Then again, after a rainy winteranda rainy spring, any sunshine was welcome.“Good morning,” she said as she passed her roommate Renee on the way to the bathroom. Jubilee had found Renee’s listing online for a roommate, and after a few emails back and forth, Renee had asked her to move in. Two weeks after New Year’s, Jubilee had packed up everything she wanted into her new car and driven to Seattle to start her new life as a college student.Her family had wanted to help her move, and it had taken all of Jubilee’s powers of persuasion to convince her brothers she didn’t have enough things to warrant all of them coming with her.“Heath is helping me, anyway. I’m not even taking much furniture with me.”Harrison, though, had convinced her he’d like to help, and Jubilee had finally agreed. During the Thornton Christmas get-together with all of her siblings and their
Violet couldn’t imagine where Ash wanted to take her at one thirty in the morning that wasn’t to his place. When she said that she trusted him, her boring, logical side yelled, You don’t know him! Go home! You’re crazy!And yet...her intuition told her she could trust him. She trusted that when he said he wanted to have “good, clean, wholesome fun,” he meant it. At least, as much as Ash Younger could do anything wholesome.She followed Ash down the street and out of the small downtown area. Tipping her head back, she could make out a few stars, and she felt like they were the only two people in the entire world. The town was so quiet. The only sounds were a dog barking and a single car driving by.When they arrived at the playground, Violet let out a startled laugh. “This is what you had in mind?”“What, do you have something against swings?” Ash sat down in one of the swings that was so low to the ground—especially considering that he had to be over six feet tall—that Violet start

Jubilee Thornton swore when her coffeepot—the one thing she could rely on in a world full of chaos—spluttered, popped, and then seemed to breathe its last. Two tablespoons of coffee splashed into the pot below, and she was almost tempted to drink it anyway.When had her life gotten this pathetic?At the age of twenty-five, she’d never dated, never gone to college, never even left her hometown. She lived in a tiny apartment in Fair Haven, Washington, and worked at her sister-in-law Megan’s bakery, The Rise and Shine. And to top it all off, today her coffeepot just had to die, because apparently getting her caffeine fix was too much to ask.“Come on. Don’t do this to me today,” she muttered to the appliance in question as she began to fiddle with the controls. Despite trying everything she could think of to get it to start again, she had to accept that her coffeepot had finally kicked the bucket.She could wait for coffee, she told herself. She worked at a bakery that served all kind
Jubilee dumped her purse onto her bed when she arrived home, searching through all the various items for that damn list. Swearing, she dug around in her pockets, her coat pockets, even inside her shoes.No list.Hadn’t Megan returned it to her before Heath had come into The Rise and Shine? She couldn’t remember. She’d heard the bell while she and Megan had been adding things to the list, and then she’d seen Heath, and her brain had essentially turned to mush.She texted Megan, Do you have my list?To which Megan replied a few minutes later, No, don’t you have it?That meant that that list was somewhere in The Rise and Shine. Jubilee almost considered going back to look around, but that seemed like overkill. If someone picked it up, she hoped they threw it away, thinking it was trash.Oh God, she thought suddenly, what if Heath picked it up?That thought sent a chill straight through her, although it was mostly embarrassment she felt overall. She’d never live it down if he saw th
