❈❈Riley Pov❈❈I was just about to throw up. My stomach was doing flips and I'd already changed my outfit three times because nothing felt right. The book was out. Like, actually out in the world. People were reading my words. My trauma. My love story. Everything."You're spiraling," Jayson said from the doorway of our bedroom.We'd moved into the Brooklyn apartment two weeks ago. It was perfect. High ceilings. Big windows. A kitchen where we could both cook without getting in each other's way. It was ours."I'm not spiraling," I said, even though I was absolutely spiraling. "I'm just... What if people hate it? What if they think I'm exploiting the video for sales? What if—""Riley," Jayson cut me off. He came over and grabbed my face with both hands. "Stop. You wrote a beautiful book. People are gonna love it. And if they don't, that's their loss.""But what if—""No," he said firmly. "No more what-ifs. You're going to go to that event tonight, you're gonna sign books, you're gonna be

❈❈Cassie Pov❈❈ I was getting ready for bed when my phone rang. Unknown number. I didn't want to answer, but something made me pick up. "Cassie?" Riley's voice came through, and it was completely shattered. Like she'd been crying so hard she could barely speak. "Riley?" I said. "What's wrong?" "Jayson," she said, and I heard her take a shaky breath. "There was an accident. A car accident. He's at Mount Sinai hospital and I can't... I can't..." She broke down completely. "Okay," I said, already grabbing my keys. "Okay, I'm coming. What hospital?" She gave me the address through sobs and I hung up and ran. I didn't even think about it. Didn't think about Klaus or what this meant or anything. I just ran. Mount Sinai was chaos. It was like midnight and the ER was full of people and I had no idea where Jayson would be. I went to the desk and asked for him and they sent me to the third floor. When I got out of the elevator, I saw them. Riley and Mila were sitting outsi

❈❈ Jayson Pov ❈❈My phone rang on a Tuesday morning.Unknown number. I almost didn't answer, but something made me pick up."Jayson," my father's voice came through, and he sounded different. Older. Tired."Dad?" I said. My heart was already racing."Can you come to the office?" he asked. "I need to talk to you. In person.""Is everything okay?" I asked."No," he said. "But I'm trying to make it okay."I told Riley I was going out and drove to the office in a daze. My father wanted to talk to me. Actually wanted to have a conversation. That hadn't happened in months.The office felt different when I walked in. Smaller somehow. Less important. I went up to his office and knocked even though it was my father's door."Come in," he said.He was sitting behind his massive desk, looking smaller than I remembered. Older. His hair was grayer. His face looked tired."Hi," I said, sitting down across from him."Hi," he replied. We sat in silence for a moment."Your mother finally told me off,"

✦ ❦ ✦Jayson Pov ✦ ❦ ✦I was sweating through my shirt and we weren't even at the house yet."You good?" Riley asked, squeezing my hand as we pulled up to my parents' place."No," I said honestly. "I'm literally about to have a heart attack.""Your father already had the growth moment," she said. "He apologized. He asked to have dinner with me. He's not gonna be a dick.""You don't know that," I said. "He could be. He's good at being a dick."She laughed and kissed my forehead. "I can handle your dad, babe. Trust me."But as we walked up to the door, I realized I was more nervous about this than I'd been about anything in months. This was my father finally meeting the woman I was going to marry. This was him seeing if he could actually accept her.My mother opened the door before I could even knock."Jayson," she said, pulling me into a hug. Then she looked at Riley. "And you must be Riley.""I am," Riley said, extending her hand. "It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Woods.""Please, call me M
