Victoria's POV:“No, my schedule is wide open. I’ll come over right away. Do you need me to bring anything?” he asked. I thought about what we could possibly need for the move. My mom and I had already done most things. “We don’t really need that many things. Just maybe bring a few more boxes and some tape.”“Cool, I’ll see you in thirty minutes.” He hung up the phone.“And now, we wait,” I said out loud to no one in particular.True to his word, thirty minutes later I heard him pull up in front of the house. I went to open the door before he could knock it. I saw him off leading the many boxes that he had brought. He was wearing a black muscle shirt that showed off his impressive physique, some faded well worn jeans, and a baseball cap.I couldn’t help but ogle at the view of his back and how the various muscle groups moved and contracted with every movement. “Are you going to come to help me carry these in?” he asked, snapping me out of the trance I was in.I felt really embarrass

Victoria POV:Caleb was engaged. To Brianna. I thought about that at length the next day. It was driving me crazy. I didn’t understand how he could fall in love with someone like her. I watched as the movers I had hired carried everything to their truck. It pained me to have to pay for the service because movers were not cheap but I could not spend another minute with Caleb. I felt so betrayed by him. I had to talk to someone so I called Alice.“Hello, sunshine! How is it going with Caleb? Have you two patched things up?” she asked, sounding very curious.I had not told her anything last night as we had initially agreed upon and I was sure that the suspense was killing her but I did not have it in me to indulge her so I went straight to the point. “Did you know that Caleb and Brianna were engaged?” I asked.“Ah!” that was the only thing that she said before she kept quiet.Her silence was completely telling. “How could you not tell me! This is the kind of thing that I need to know.

Caleb POV:I shifted in my seat as I counted the minutes till we could touch down again. The flight from Arizona to Los Angeles was short but I still hated every second of it. Something about being thousands of feet up in the air in a two-hundred-tonne metal machine did not sit right with me. We experienced some turbulence and I clutched even tighter to my seat.Bree on the other hand was right at home. She had her sleeping mask on and decided to take a little nap. I had tried to do the same but despite how comfortable the first-class seats were, I could not do it.Victoria’s face crossed my mind and I became even more frustrated. She was the most infuriating person that I knew. I hated how easily she had gotten under my skin. I last saw her when she came to finish unpacking the last batch of her mother’s stuff. I contemplated helping her out but I had a feeling that I was the last person that she wanted to see so I stayed out of her way.It sucked that we had fixed our relationship b

Victoria POV: It had been a month since mom and Tom’s wedding. She had finally come home from a month long honeymoon in Hawaii, happy as a clam and sporting a gorgeous tan that I was very jealous of. Seeing how giddy she was affirmed my approval of Tom. I had not seen this version of my mom in a long time. We had talked a couple of times on facetime while she was away. Our conversations always seemed to be short because she always seemed to be rushing off from one activity to the next. I missed her but I loved that she was having the time of her life. One time during a video call, Tom came into the room with a flower for my mom and kissed her cheek which made her giggle. My mom. Giggled. I acted like I was absolutely disgusted by the display of affection when the truth is I was jealous of what they had. My mother was deeply and hopelessly in love while my relationship on the other hand was in the literal pits of hell. Over the past month, I started feeling more and more that Gabe an

Caleb POV: I was so excited to go home. I had finally gotten some time off work and immediately decided to go home. I had not gotten a long break since I came back from the wedding so when I got a four-day weekend, I booked my ticket to Arizona immediately. I could not believe that I had gone for almost two months without seeing my dad. That rarely ever happened. Eric, Dad, and I were pretty close and got even closer after the divorce. Sometimes I envied Eric because he got to stay home. I knew that if the opportunity presented itself, I would move to Arizona permanently. I hated being away from my family but I had my own life outside of them now. Things had been going well for me. I was up for a promotion at work, and my relationship with Brianna was thriving. I couldn’t be happie
