ELEANOR “What do you think of this?” Laura gently nudges my arm, showing me the digital photo of a long, poppy red evening dress covered in shiny crimson sequins from top to bottom. I smile awkwardly, unable to bring myself to tell her that every dress she’s found so far was either way too revealing or simply too much. “Well, it’s a mating ceremony. It doesn’t have to be so…grand,” I tell her, and she stares at me in disbelief before letting out a sigh. “It’s precisely because it’s a mating ceremony that everything must look grand! If not, you are allowing yourself to miss out on your own event!” Laura huffs, her eyes squinting at the sight of me and my distaste for grand things. The exasperated look on her face brings out a giggle from my lips as I watch her continue scrolling through the dozens of dresses in the most successful clothing companies worldwide, making me wonder… “Then why don’t you come up with a design of your own? I’d be glad if it’s a dress you designed that I’d

ALEXANDERI've been pacing around these halls for nearly an entire fucking hour. After Ellie's water broke when she was fucking washing the dishes, like I fucking told her not to do, I was lucky to have Elijah and Vera there watching over her in case something happened.

ELEANOR FIVE YEARS LATER Hmm. French toast. Waffles. Cereal. Biscuits. Cinamon rolls. Croissants. Bacon and eggs. Oh, and how could I forget? Alex's favorite breakfast burrito. I smiled to myself as I arranged all the food I made onto the trays. I picked up the first one, glancing over the other where my son, Elias', food awaits. The urge to scoop it up from the kitchen table was strong. Moments after staring at it like a creep, I lift Elias' tray with my free hand while holding the first tray with the other. After managing to balance their weight on my already trembling hand, I slowly make a U-turn from the kitchen, heading to the table where I'm supposed to set the trays. 1,2,3 steps. You got this, Eleanor. You just got to-- "How many times do I have to fucking tell you, Ellie?" Electrifying chills vibrated through my body as I whipped around to find Alex squinting at me, his face darkening. His platinum blond hair a hot, sexy mess from our little exercise last night. Well, li
