It was the day of the family dinner. Bree was feeling nervous, so after her shift at Babes ended, she was saying yes to coffee with Cassidy. She still had another hour before she was scheduled to pick up Hazel.Cassidy was finally done with her midterm and she wanted to unwind. "It's my treat, come on.""Well, I don't shake my ass anymore and I'm not making money rain on me. So, you better be paying for coffee but I'll pay for the cakes. Yup, I feel the need for those creamy chocolate cakes."Cassidy laughed at Bree, the young med student always loved spending time with Bree and the feeling was mutual. Aside from her misfortunes, the woman spread positivity like a rainbow and Bree needed that with everything that's been going on in her life. The women ordered then both seated in the corner booth for privacy. "So what's with you and that hot silver fox," Bree asked wanting an update on Cassidy's newest client."Ugh, how much do you know about him? I thought you'd be out of the loop s

"How was the family dinner?" Dee questioned when she was seated in their seat. It was a warm Tuesday afternoon and Cassidy's day off, that was probably why Dee asked her knowing the med student couldn't keep her mouth shut. Not that Dee was much different, but she actually did keep it quiet when Bree asked her to. Bree felt like she needed someone to talk to, someone who wouldn't judge her for her life choices and she was glad that Dee was there for her."It was a disaster, as expected. His parents were great, but his siblings were not. His sister was the worst, I blurted out my disastrous life in less than five minutes shutting her up real good." Dee giggled and shook her head. "You should go slow, but hey... I like your approach. So, how did Gage take it? I see that he still couldn't keep his hands away from you." Bree blushed adorably and told her they had the greatest sex afterward. The women's laughter was making heads turn and Bree did not expect in a million years to see her

They all went into Novelty, Gage was greeted warmly by the older couple and he introduced them to Bree and Hazel. "You remembered those cupcakes you ate earlier?" Gage asked the cute toddler beaming with energy."I doooo... it's delishhh!" Gage laughed wholeheartedly before continuing, "Well, Alice here makes them." Hazel made a big theatrical jaw drop that make the four of them laugh."I love you!" Hazel hugged Alice and it made the older woman hug her back.Alice laughed and told Bree that Hazel was the most beautiful little girl. "And for loving me you will get to pick a cake for your mommy and Gage, oh... and also for yourself!" Alice ushered Hazel to the cake display while Archie led Bree and Gage to the little seating area in the back of the book store. "You don't come here often enough," Archie said while pouring tea for everyone. "Yes, a mistake I will soon adjust." Gage smiled while he lazily stroked Bree's hand under his. It was a simple gesture that didn't miss by Arch

The next morning Hazel was more than excited when Gage announced that they were going to go to the beach after breakfast. Bree was feeling like she was living a dream, she was happy, laughing and giggling with Hazel and Gage during the day. Then when night came the man would pleasure her like crazy, the multiple orgasms were beyond her wildest imaginations.It was day four, they had been staying at Gage's Inn for three nights, and tomorrow they were scheduled to go home. It was late in the evening, Hazel was sleeping, too tired from the day's activities. Bree was leaning on his chest, sitting on Gage's lap while they relaxed on the outside balcony of the master bedroom. They were looking out the beach, hearing the wave of the ocean lazily hitting the beach."My late wife was Sally's best friend. She still meets up with her family from time to time. Sally invited me a couple of times but I couldn't, the memory had been... still too much sometimes." Gage was trying to explain his sister

"Tell me," Gage uttered his words, insisting on her one more time. Then he waited patiently for Bree to explain everything and she did not disappoint when she blurted out all her concerns in between her sobs. Maybe it should make him feel bad to force her into the confession but he did not care. Days and weeks that they were apart had made him miserable and in all selfishness he wanted her to feel the same way too. Gage wanted her to know that being apart was a bad idea. "So?" his single word holds a lot of questions. His headache was under control but the effort was still too much for him to articulate his words.Will they get back together? will Bree move back in and finally said yes to his proposal?"I love you, I missed you, I'm so so sorry." She kissed his knuckles again, she thought back to a few hours back when her heart ached so bad at the possibility of losing him, how she was going to regret the rest of her life for rejecting his proposal and most likely denying Hazel of h
