Henry gazed at my belly, his voice quivering with disbelief. "You mean… Is this our baby?" I took his hand and placed it softly on my stomach. "Go on, say hi to the little one, daddy." Henry's tears came out of nowhere, catching me off guard. In the next instant, I was wrapped up in his arms again. "Selena, I'm so sorry for all the pain I've caused you. Can you ever forgive me?" Liam kept quiet when he learned about Henry and I patching things up. However, the following day, I discovered he had moved out of the apartment.

Nothing off-limits, just more than normal. After we cleaned up dinner we all hit the den for a two-movie marathon. "Perfect Pitch' one and two.

It was enjoyable. Unrealistic. But I liked some of the... scenery.” I stifled a laugh. “Nothing about it was unrealistic.

Every time, he just ruffled my hair. "Next time it's your birthday," he'd say, "I'll design you the most beautiful one yet." The night of my birthday, I rushed to the beach, my heart full of anticipation. Instead, I found Sebastian standing under a sky full of fireworks, his arms wrapped around Victoria Grey. The fireworks burst over the water, dazzling, like a dream. Just not one that belonged to me. I stood frozen at the edge of the crowd. Someone nearby laughed and said, "I heard this des

It's the same way Riley looks at me. “Bye, Hendrix.” Uma said. “I'll call you tomorrow, okay?” “Sure baby.” Hendrix kissed her again. “Raquel I hope you feel better! Let me know if you want me to kick David's ass!” “Thanks Hendrix!” Raquel called back. Uma skipped back into the living room. “Let's get baked.” ~~~ “You know what's insane about watching movies?” I asked. “It's like you want the characters to be smart and act like they should in like real life, but then if they did that there would be no movie.”
