Victoria POV:It had been two weeks since I officially moved back to Sedona. I had put all my furniture into a strange facility because I knew that I would need them once I moved back out of Stallone's guest house. I was sad about leaving the life that I had built for myself in Phoenix but I was even more excited for the new possibilities that had opened up for me in Sedona. I had already secured the job at Mrs. Pullman’s bakery. The pay was just a little less than what I was getting at La Grande and this time, I wasn’t going to be spending any of that money on rent or keeping a grown man fed so I took it immediately and so far, it had been a blast. I was catering to myself and my needs first.It also didn’t hurt that my mom and Alice were so close by. I got to see them whenever I wanted and it had been such a huge blessing. They helped me to settle down and validated my decision which I desperately needed. When mom mentioned that they were having a family dinner because Caleb was co

Victoria POVI watched him as he walked out of the house. I slammed the door shut immediately he stepped out of the house and leaned my back on it. I knew that he was still standing there because I could see his shadow from under the door. I took several deep breaths to calm myself down. I was feeling a lot of emotions.I was angry at him for not believing me and thought that I would make up a lie like that just to spite. I was angry because I thought that it would mean more to him when he finally found out the true reason why we ‘broke up’. But underneath all that I was sad. His last words rang in my mind.“It wouldn’t be fair for me to just judge her based on what you believe happened. She’s my fiancé.”“What do I believe happened?” I said out loud in utter disbelief.He really didn’t believe me. He thought that I was just making up a spiteful story about his fiancé. Why was he so blind to the truth? It was right in front of him, all he had to do was open his eyes to it. I felt a we

Caleb POV By the time I landed in Los Angeles, it was well past one o’clock in the morning. I could barely open my eyes by the time I got to my house. I had called Brianna before I left Arizona so I knew that I would not find her at my place when I arrived which was perfect because I needed to arrange my thoughts before I confronted her. I decided to text her before I lost my nerve. We need to talk. Come over to my place after work tomorrow. At least I had a day to arrange my thoughts and figure out how I would do this without accidentally causing the end of my relationship and engagement. I went to sleep and had to wake up five hours later to go to work. I had a rather slow day which was a relief because of how sleep-deprived I felt. I survived purely on coffee and fumes. I couldn’t wait to get home and crawl into my bed but every time I thought of the difficult conversation that lay ahead of me, I changed my mind. I left the hospital at six o'clock and got to the house thirty

Victoria POV: I have never regretted a decision so fast. It had been three weeks since I had made the decision to start dating again and all the dates had gone horribly. Today’s date was by far the worst one out of all of them. His name was Tony and he lived in Clarkdale. I had matched with him on Tinder and he messaged me immediately. We messaged back and forth for a few days on the app before he asked me on a date. He was a decent conversationalist and seemed interesting enough so I agreed. We set the date for today. We agreed to meet up for dinner in a cute café in Clarkdale, then if the date went well, we would go out for drinks after. The first thing that pissed me off was the fact he was over an hour late. If he had a pressing job like say, pediatric surgery, I would understand but he was an accountant. He worked at a bank so I knew those always closed on time so he had no excuse for his tardiness. After thirty minutes had passed, I called him to ask where he was and he told

Victoria's POVI arrived at Charlie’s pub, a cute little bar in Sedona and the place that my girls and I would always meet for cocktails. Samantha was in town for the weekend and we had decided to meet up as per our custom. I was running ridiculously late. It had been an unusually busy day at the bakery and Mrs Pullman was not around so I had my hands full all day.By the time it got to seven o'clock, and I was finally closing up the shop, I was tired to the bone. I went home, and took a quick shower to wash the day off me. I attempted to dry my hair but it was taking too long so I decided to leave it alone and go what I always did in situations like this. I threw it into a ponytail.I knew that it would be a tangled rat’s nest if I let it dry like that but that would be tomorrow's problem. I put on a couple of outfits but none of them were sitting how I wanted them to on my body. I felt so frustrated, that I wanted to cry. I took a couple of breaths to calm myself and decided to keep
