Three hundred

~Reid~I stood on the edge of the balcony at my father’s estate—the same one I used to loathe visiting when I was younger.Nothing had changed.The garden below was still painfully perfect. Trimmed hedges in uniform rows. Stone pathways that curved with clinical precision. Not a petal out of place. It was beautiful in that sterile, expensive way—his way.Too controlled. Too silent. Like everything in his world.But I wasn’t here to judge his landscaping. I was here because he asked.That alone made it strange.We didn’t “talk,” not like normal families. Ours was a home of polite efficiency. Quiet discipline. Appearances over intimacy. Every conversation had an unspoken deadline, and emotion was considered a tactical error.So when he called that morning and simply said, “Come over. Let’s talk,” I’d paused. No tone. No warmth. No motive I could read.But I’d come anyway. Because we were getting married soon. Because I had changed. Because it was time.I heard the soft click of the slid

~Fallon~ The sun rose like it had been waiting for us. Soft gold spilled across the white curtains of the bridal suite, painting the walls in honey and warmth. I was already awake. Not from nerves—but from stillness. Anticipation. The weight of knowing this wasn’t just a wedding. It was a return. Today, I became Fallon Callahan again. Only this time… I was choosing it. The room buzzed around me—stylists fussing with palettes and pins, Mia barking orders like a Hollywood director, soft music threading through the air—but it all felt like background noise. Like the world had faded into soft focus, and all I could see was the path ahead. The life ahead. Mia peeked through the curtains and gasped dramatically. “Okay. The paparazzi have officially formed a human wall at the gate. It’s giving royal wedding meets Vogue editorial.” I laughed, curling my legs under me on the sofa, silk robe falling around my knees. “They’ve been waiting for this since the first breakup. I’m surprised t

Epilogue

~One Month Later~~Fallon~The first rays of morning sun spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm gold across the hardwood floors of the master suite. Outside, Los Angeles was still stretching, still yawning awake—just like the man asleep in our bed.I stood barefoot on the balcony, wrapped in the oversized white shirt I’d stolen from him—again. His scent still clung to the fabric, and my fingers curled around the coffee mug as if it were anchoring me in this moment.The city looked different now. Not because it had changed. But because I had.This time last year, I was heartbroken. Untethered. Unsure if I’d ever trust myself—or love—again.Now, I was someone’s wife. Again. But not in the way I used to be.This time, I had chosen it with open eyes. With healing behind me. With love that had been tried and tested and still said yes.The wedding had been everything people said it would be—stunning, sacred, a media frenzy. But the moment I kept replaying wasn’t the kiss

Epilogue II

~One Year Later~ ~Fallon~ The rain had just stopped when I stepped onto the porch. The world looked rinsed clean—washed of everything heavy. The sky was still gray at the edges, but light had begun to filter through in soft streaks, like gold ink bleeding through vellum. The air smelled like lavender and wet grass. Somewhere down the hill, a wind chime danced gently in the breeze—delicate, hollow, musical. It sounded like a lullaby. Like grace. Like the beginning of something quiet and holy. In my arms was everything I didn’t know I’d been missing. My daughter. Wrapped in a blush knit blanket, warm and impossibly small, her tiny cheek pressed against my collarbone. Her breath was soft and even, rising and falling like she had all the time in the world. As if she already understood something the rest of us hadn’t quite figured out—how to simply be here. I couldn’t stop looking at her. She had Reid’s lashes—absurdly long and unfair for someone so new to the planet. My nose. Ful
