"I didn't know it was gonna be... all of us." Sean chuckled, clapping a firm hand on Jacob's shoulder, his muscular frame filling the space. At 28, he was all confidence, dressed in a black shirt that strained against his chest. "Relax, man. Joy here's got a special Christmas surprise for you. She's been dying to show you what she's got." He winked at Joy, who blushed deeply, biting her lip. Unbeknownst to Jacob, Joy was an ex-p**n star, her shy demeanor a mask for the wild experiences she'd left behind in the industry. But with Sean, she'd found a way to reclaim that fire on her terms and now, she wanted to share it.

" That was where Christian was wrong. I'd like to see how long he and that woman could survive without me and my patents. Just as the tension reached its breaking point, the kindergarten teacher walked in with my two daughters. "Mommy? Daddy? Why are there so many people here?" my eldest daughter, Andrea Johannson, asked. A flicker of hesitation crossed Christian's face, and he turned away. Suddenly, Vicky started groaning. "My stomach hurts, Christian. Something's wrong with this chicken soup. Please… take me to the hospital." Christian's head snapped toward her. He watched as Vicky's face turned pale, and she was clutching her belly, gasping in pain.

Once they disappeared into the room, Joy unwrapped the paper ball and re-read the entire thing. … She’ll only remember Rum, the superstar and her boss. Our memories will be left with me. Thank you for giving into my whims, for letting her spend time with me. It’s time for me to stop running, and for her to start moving. Bastard. Joy crushed the letter once more, stronger this time, with greater anger. What to tell Rose when she wakes up?

Fuck I miss them too, I hope they don't hate me. "Well I'm back to work now. I'm actually in Paris, first time that I've been back since we were here together, and my god the whole fucking town reminds me of you. I even went to that little bookstore that I took you to, trying to find a little piece of you to keep with me. I found a book that reminded me of you. It's called 'Finding the joy in the smallest things'. That's what you do, you're grateful for the little things in life, you made me grateful for the small things. I found joy in your laugh, your smile, your presence, even finding this stupid little book. But now that I've started reading it I've realised it's one of those self help b

Small rebellions hidden in plain sight. “I’m Joy,” she said, crossing her arms. “And trust me, you’re going to be bored out of your mind here.” Veronica frowned gently. “Joy—” “I’m just being honest,” Joy replied, eyes shifting back to Christiana. “You don’t look like the praying-at-five type.” Christiana’s lips curved slightly for the first time that evening. “I’m not.” Joy’s smile widened as if she had just found something interesting. “Well,” Joy said quietly, leaning closer, “then maybe you and I will get along just fine.”
