Chapter 1

Kelsey's POVThe roses hit the bottom of the trash can with a muffled thud, finally cutting off Tyler Olsen and Winona Carter's endless back-and-forth.They both turned toward me.Winona sighed and rolled her eyes. "There she goes. Her Highness is mad again. You deal with her."As she headed for the door, she added, "I'm out. And don't forget you owe me for this."Once the door closed behind her, Tyler walked over to the trash, pulled out the roses, and placed them on the table beside me."Why are you giving Winnie an attitude?" he asked. "The only reason I slept with her was because of you. If you didn't fall for me again every time I tried to push you away, I wouldn't have to use Winnie to make you give up on me."Every boundary they crossed, every hurtful thing they did, was supposedly for my own good.It was twisted and ridiculous."Tyler, I'm not going to fall in love with you again," I said.Assuming I was having another fit, he crossed the room and pulled me into his a

Chapter 2

Kelsey's POVTyler stiffened for a second, then laughed."Okay, okay. We'll break up. Whatever you say. Let me take you home."He still didn't think I meant it.Exhaustion settled over me, but I no longer had the energy to explain. "No. I'll get a cab."Tyler wasn't offended by the rejection. He simply stood behind me and waited.Then, Winona sent him a voice message."So? Did sleeping with me finally get through to Kelsey? If not, I'm happy to help you out a few more times. You're pretty good in bed, anyway."The recording ended, and Tyler took his time replying."Kelsey's pissed at me right now. I need to stay with her, so I won't be needing you for a while."Once he'd sent the message, he turned to me as though none of this were remotely strange."She's too intense in bed. It's not really my thing. I still like you best, babe."He was trying to make me feel better.Ever since Tyler realized that seeing him get intimate with Winona made me withdraw, he'd started comparin

Chapter 3

Kelsey's POV"Get out. Neither of you is welcome here," I snapped.They ignored me.As Winona grabbed one of the takeout cups, hot coffee splashed onto her hand. Tyler immediately grabbed a silk scarf hanging from the coat rack by the door and used it to wipe her skin.My chest tightened. "Give me that."Dad had bought the scarf for Mom as an anniversary present the year he died. She treasured it and only took it out to wear from time to time.Tyler didn't stop."Don't be so stingy. Winnie's skin is so sensitive that it reddens over nothing. I need to wipe this off before it gets worse."When he was finished, he casually dropped the scarf onto the floor.I crouched to pick it up. Coffee had soaked into the silk, leaving ugly stains.I was so angry that my body started trembling.At that point, Winona lowered her voice to soothe me. "Oh, come on. It's not that serious. That thing isn't even worth half what Tyler paid for my necklace. I'll reimburse you if you're that upset.

Chapter 4

Kelsey's POVMom was rushed into the ER, and an hour later, they wheeled her back out."There's nothing seriously wrong," the nurse told me. "Just try not to let her get too stressed or angry from now on. As long as she rests and takes care of herself, she'll be fine."The nurse took Mom to a hospital room, and I sat beside the bed, holding her hand.After she woke up, I helped her eat breakfast. Then, I got ready to go home and bring our luggage back to the hospital."I already put the house up for sale. Once you're discharged tomorrow, we'll head straight to the airport."Mom patted my hand gently. "Alright. And Kelsey, don't blame yourself for the scarf. None of that was your fault."I blinked my dry, aching eyes and nodded. "I know, Mom. I'll buy you so many beautiful scarves from now on that you'll have more than you can wear."She smiled.When I got home, I immediately noticed that my bedroom door was slightly ajar.I distinctly remembered closing it the day before.Fr

Chapter 5

Third-Person POVTyler sat at the restaurant table, staring down at his phone.More than 20 hours had passed since he sent Kelsey that message, and she still hadn't replied."What's going on?" he mused.Kelsey always answered his messages almost immediately. Even when she was upset, she'd never taken longer than an hour.Winona was seated beside him. "She still hasn't answered?"Tyler nodded irritably."Wow. She's really sticking to her guns this time."Winona patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. She'll never be able to walk away from you. Just wait. She'll be here tonight."Her reassurance eased some of the tension in his chest.She was right.Kelsey loved him. No matter how far he and Winona had taken things over the years, she always forgave him eventually.He just needed to wait a little longer. Sooner or later, she would show up.Tyler locked his phone and glanced at Winona."You should go. I already told Kelsey it would just be the two of us tonight. If she comes in a

Chapter 6

Kelsey's POV"Kelsey, the view really is beautiful here. It's so peaceful, too."Mom sat beside the floor-to-ceiling windows with her glasses on, gazing outside.I hadn't seen her smile this freely since Dad died.One reason we'd chosen to settle here was that Dad had always said how much he loved this place.I draped a blanket over Mom's legs."Now, we can enjoy this view every day," I said.She took a sip of hot coffee and smiled."Did you get everything back home taken care of? Those two assholes haven't bothered you again, have they?"I was quiet for a few seconds before shaking my head."No. I blocked both of them, and I never told them where we moved. They won't be able to bother us again.""Good," said Mom. "I always thought Tyler was bad news, but you loved him, so you kept forgiving him. I'm just glad you finally came to your senses."I watched the birds fly past the window."So am I," I muttered.Without Tyler and Winona in my life, everything felt easier.My d

Chapter 7

Kelsey's POVKieran and Mom chatted in the living room while I went into the kitchen to start dinner.My hands were wet, and the knife slipped from my fingers and clattered to the floor. Just as I bent down to pick it up, a slender hand reached past me and got there first.I hadn't even noticed Kieran come in behind me."Here.""Thanks." I took the knife from him. "What do you feel like eating tonight?"He smiled. "I'll eat anything you make. Let me help with the prep, though. It'll save you some work.""You really don't have to—"Before I could finish, he'd already turned on the faucet and started washing the tomatoes."I already feel bad enough showing up for free meals. If I sit around while you do all the work, I'll feel even worse."There was something so earnest in his eyes that I couldn't bring myself to argue."Fine."I'd assumed Kieran would come over for just one meal.Instead, over the following months, he came almost every day.He didn't just bring groceries

Chapter 8

Kelsey's POVTyler immediately helped Winona up, his expression turning hostile."Who the hell are you? This is between Kelsey and me. Stay out of it. Didn't anyone ever teach you any manners?"The words had barely left his mouth when Mom slapped him hard across the face."You have some nerve talking about manners!" she snapped. "If anyone here wasn't raised right, it's you. Kelsey already broke up with you. Why are you still bothering her?"Tyler held his reddening cheek, his chest heaving with anger.He didn't dare lose his temper with Mom, though. Instead, he lowered his voice and tried to reason with her."I never agreed to the breakup. Kelsey is still my girlfriend. Mrs. Arnold, could you please let me talk to her alone?"Mom gave a cold laugh and immediately took a step back."Stay away from me. The last time I collapsed, you accused me of faking it. At my age, I can't afford to pass out again and have you tell everyone I'm putting on an act."Tyler's face flushed with

Chapter 9

Kelsey's POVI didn't see Tyler again for the next few days.I assumed he and Winona had finally gone home. Then, on my way back from shopping one afternoon, I ran straight into them."You're still here?""I'm not leaving until you change your mind about me," said Tyler defiantly.Winona looked at me with jealousy and resentment."Go home," I said. "I'm not changing my mind."Tyler shook his head.I had no interest in arguing, so I pushed past him and kept walking.It wasn't until later that I learned Tyler had bought an apartment in my building and was living directly above me.Kieran was deeply concerned."You're not going to let that old guy talk you into taking him back, are you? Mrs. Arnold told me how badly he treated you. You can't forgive him."I put a piece of chicken on his plate."That's not something you need to worry about. Eat up."Kieran chewed the chicken with an irritated expression.After Tyler moved in, things began appearing outside my door almost eve
