[ K A R A ] The next thing I know, Ryder and I were driving down the highway in this convertible car. The summer wind was blowing through our hair and Ryder was holding my hand in his throughout the entire ride. "We just passed the city limits,” I noted the sign. “Seriously, you're not gonna tell me where we're going?" "And ruin the surprise? I think not," "Okay... just answer this then, is it somewhere where we could get a milkshake?" I said it naughtily. "Damn, look at you go," he stifled a laugh. "Six months of being away from you would do this to a girl," "Baby, I wish I could. But, actually, I want to wait," he said suddenly. "I wanna be that whatever unicorn-guy you've been dreaming of. I'll be that guy that waits for you and loves you no matter what," "What?"

I hissed and looked away, totally embarrassed. "Seriously though, if I swing that way, I would've married you right now," Elle added. It was our wedding day today and I was all dressed up in the bride’s attire. I had curled my hair and let them down, and I was wearing this lovely white lace gown that cascaded down my body so heavenly. When I looked into the mirror, I was in awe too, I couldn't believe myself when I saw my reflection. Ryder going crazy... a girl can only hope.

62. The Blue Moon

Dear Stepbrother/aflyingwhale

[ R Y D E R ] Kara was probably thinking that I was taking her up to our room, but no. I liked to keep things interesting. So instead, we got some milkshake from my favorite diner and made our way to our Secret Beach. The night was young and full of possibilities. We were giddy and excited, laughing at each other as walked down the beach, barefoot with our hands clasped together. I was reduced to a grinning and smirking mess. Thankfully, she was too. "Kara, you're smiling like crazy," I commented. "It's because I'm crazy about you, Ryder Jake Williams," "You're so perfect in every way. I'm the luckiest man alive," I stopped our tracks and stood right in front of her. I reached out to hold her hand, and I caught her by her wrist. She flinched when I touched the scar over her tattoo. It had healed, but the mark was still there.

63. Colle and Elle

Dear Stepbrother/aflyingwhale

* This is a bonus chapter from Elle and Cole's POV. Enjoy! * [ E L L E ] It was a beautiful night in Hawaii and a wonderful wedding. My best friend, Kara, just got married to the love of her life and I couldn’t be more proud. Today was supposed to be one of the happiest days of our lives, but it felt rather bittersweet. One person’s happiness is another person’s tragedy. I saw Cole standing silently by the sidelines and my heart sunk to my feet. Cole had been in love with Kara for years. That was actually how we met and became friends. He was introduced to me by a friend and he was telling me how he was in love with his best friend. I thought guys like him were so adorable. They were a rare breed. He was so thoughtful and kind. They don’t make guys like this anymore. I decided to help him win the heart of his best friend,

64. Peter and Lacey

Dear Stepbrother/aflyingwhale

* This is a bonus chapter with Peter and Lacey's POV. Enjoy! * [ P E T E R ] “It’s a great wedding, huh?” My eyes were glancing around the room and I locked eyes with my ex-wife. We exchanged a smile and I thought it was polite to make small talk. What I didn't realize was how awkward it was, talking to my ex-wife at our children’s wedding. “Yeah, it is,” she replied. I was holding a glass of scotch and she was holding a glass of champagne. We were both standing by the sidelines, watching our two kids share the dance floor as bride and groom. It was quite an ironic sight. Life had a pretty crazy sense of humor. I remembered a few years ago when it was Lacey and me out on this dance floor, dancing as the bride and groom. We were so happy back then. We thought we were in it for the long haul. And yet here we were, only a

The air was salty, but breezy and cool. Ryder and I arrived in the golden state a few days ago. We were living in a cute little Airbnb right by the beach. It was the coolest thing ever. Every morning, Ryder would go out to train by the beach. The first contest on his world tour would be held here next week. Every morning, I would wake up with him, make coffee, and I’d do a little writing as I

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ONE YEAR LATER TAHITI, FRENCH POLYNESIA * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * [ K A R A ] “Ry…?” I woke up this morning shivering and cold. This usually wouldn’t happen. Especially that we were living in Tahiti now, it was 80 degrees outside. And normally, I would wake up with Ryder’s body wrapping around mine like a blanket. He always made me feel warm, so I didn’t even need a duvet. But today, I woke up with the bed empty and it felt cold. “Ry?” I said again, but I heard no answer. I stirred in bed and slowly propped myself up. Ryder wasn’t anywhere in the room. I glanced at the clock and it was still 5 o’clock in the

Epilogue

Dear Stepbrother/aflyingwhale

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TWO YEARS LATER GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * [ R Y D E R ] The dawn was breaking outside the window. This bluish and orange light was creeping up the night sky, signaling the beginning of yet another day. 6:30 AM, the clock read. Kara was still sound asleep, maybe last night took a toll on her? Last night was... a lot of fun. I was getting hard all over again just thinking about it. Slowly I rolled over to my side, carefully wrapping her tiny body in my arms. My fingers ran to caress her soft cheeks. "Hey..." I murmured to her ears as she shuffled a little. "Mmhmm," she mumbled, still closing her eyes. "Merry Christmas, baby," It was Christmas day in Australia, you would not have guessed it from the weather outside. It was 85 degrees and nothing but sunshine on the horizon. Apparently, that was how Christmas was done over here in the land down under. Kara wasn’t saying anything. She refused to wake up
