WILLOWI’m going up to my room to get changed for my date with Aiden when I see Violet coming out of Rowan’s bedroom. It’s one of those things that feel like a plot twist out of a bad movie. Only because I’ve had my suspicions for a while now and seeing the proof unfurl in front of me feels way more than just amusing. I feel surprised. Slightly betrayed that my best friend would keep such a secret from me.Violet finally turns around and sees me standing there in the middle of the hallway, staring at her. It’s comical the way her face turns an ugly shade of red.“Willow,” she mouths. She flushes, and then she’s pulling me into the first spare bedroom she can find. She doesn’t let go of my hand until the door is sealed shut.“You’re hooking up with Rowan?” I ask, pulling my hand away from hers. “How long has this been going on? And don’t you lie to me, Violet.”“Not long,” Violet cringes. “We went out on a date the same night you had sushi with Ginny and your aunt. He asked me out to d

WILLOWBeing a tourist in Paris is truly a magical experience. The cobbled streets. The quaint restaurants. The art. Aiden and I check out the louvre. It’s our first stop. Next, we take a ride across the Seine river. He buys me flowers from a vendor, who’s store spills nearly onto the sidewalk. She’s a middle aged woman that speaks only in French. I’m bad at French but Aiden happens to speak the language so well. He converses with the woman. He even makes her laugh. “How are you so good at French?” I ask, as we walk down the street, our arms wrapped each other. I’m holding my bouquet in my other hand, taking care not to upset the arrangement. “I remember summer after I turned fifteen. I tried taking French lessons online but didn’t get far.”“Why not?” Aiden asks, genuinely curious. “Because I had to work,” I snort. “At the time, there was this extra program at school, that I was trying to get into. It cost money and I needed to save up for it.”“Ah. I see. A hustler at fifteen. I

WILLOW“Shit. Willow! We’ve got to get out of here.” Aiden grabs me. In a flash, we’re out of the house. Vincent isn’t far behind us. I wait until we’re at least a mile away from the vampire den before I burst into laughter. “Oh my goodness. What the fuck was that?”“Can I just say, I told you so?” Vincent growls, because he just can’t help himself. “I knew there was something off about that Marie chick. I knew it was a bad idea to go. But you wouldn’t listen. And now, you won’t stop laughing.”“Sorry,” I wheeze. Then I go back to laughing. “Wow, Thompson. You sure you didn’t ingest something while we were still in there?” Aiden chuckles. “Perhaps some special vampire juice?”“That is not funny,” Vincent snaps. This time, Aiden and I laugh at the same time. Everything about this entire ordeal has been so strange and unexpected. Funny. We all end up checking into a hotel. Aiden and I get a room. Vincent also gets one next door. We’re still reeling from the high of escaping a room

WILLOWThe house smells like delicious food. The lasagna is already out of the oven and it looks incredible. I join Violet in the kitchen and together, we set up the counter with plates and wine glasses. I’d suggested regular beer but Violet is on a mission to impress her new guy tonight.“We’re having red wine with dinner,” she says, pulling out a bottle from the pack she’d brought along with her.“Wow,” I eye the bottle of red wine. “If only Rowan knows how you’re pulling all the stops for this dinner date.”“The goal is to win some extra points.” She winks at me. “Hopefully, we’ll be a couple before the night is over.”Aiden enters the kitchen just then. He’s dressed down in a T-shirt and denims, yet he still manages to look like a model, featuring in a jeans ad. “So, I just got off the phone with Rowan. He’s almost here.”“Oh my gods,” Violet dries her hands on her apron. “Okay everyone. Act calm. This is just a double date. It’s not a big deal.”“If there’s anyone who needs to st

AIDENIt is officially exam week. One of the biggest hockey games of the season is coming up. I’ve finally been approved to appear before the hockey board. Coach accompanies me without being asked. I think he just feels sorry for me. Deep down, he must view the whole dismissal stunt as unfair.“Whatever you do, don’t try to argue or speak out of turn.” He straightens my tie. We are both in the hallway, waiting to be called and ushered into the board room.The hallway is cold. It unnerves the shit out of me, but I like to think that I’m doing a rather spectacular job, hiding the way I truly feel.“Yeah, I know.” I clear my throat. “Don’t worry coach. I’m good.”“You said you’ve built a case based on the ‘Just Cause’ clause?” he asks. But it’s one of those questions that doesn’t require me to give an answer. Afterall, I already sent a softcopy of my case to him for review. “I’ve reviewed the case file you sent. If you just stick to the script, you’ll be fine. I’ll say it again, no outbur
