She was utterly surprised to find Harrison was the one pushing her ordered food cart.

She should have talked to him in private. Ava felt stupid as she picked up her tray and threw her half-eaten breakfast in the trash so she could keep her regular appointment with the dean. The last thing she wanted was to get Jared into trouble. Especially since it looked like she would need a whole bottle of his magic cream soon. Her stomach was already in knots as she thought about training.

Avery looked at Dean with a deep gaze. Dean had never met a younger person who would dare look at him so boldly with such a gaze. "Miss Tate, hearing you say that has made me afraid. Maybe I don't know her as well as you do." "How could that be possible? If you did not investigate her background, how could you possibly be in a relationship with her?" Avery lowered her gaze and looked at the cup of coffee. She said distractedly, "Madam Hills is my teacher, Professor Hough's junior. He had praised her in front of me. He said that she is extremely talented, a rare medical genius."

I'll get one for Goober—Gosh, this noodle tastes amazing! I've gotta buy some for Josephine—" Kiran coldly stared her down while holding everything she had bought for her. Avery even bought some things for Lewis. The only person she neglected was the one who stood aside and held her things. "How much more are you going to buy?" Kiran questioned.

Eight years ago, she never imagined life would become this peaceful. Back then, everything hurt constantly. Breathing hurt.Existing hurt. But Avery changed everything. Every single thing. From sleepless nights and changing diapers to chasing a toddler around the house because she decided pants were oppression. To this. A tiny little person smart enough to hide bananas inside her uniform. Katelyn genuinely couldn’t remember how she survived before becoming Avery’s mother. Because this child had healed parts of her soul she didn’t even realize were dying back then. The older Avery grew, the more impossible it became to imagine her life without her in it.

If you hadn't moved so quickly, Madison would have inhaled that rot. She is a pup; it would have been a death sentence. You saved my daughter’s life, Harper.” Avery’s voice trembled with a rare vulnerability.

Mona said that she even attacked her Mom when she told her that Quinn was not coming for her.

Juliet’s chair scraped back, disrupting the otherwise perfect peace in the room, “Are you out of your mind? Her? She’s never managed a lemonade stand, let alone a department! What the hell do you want to turn our family business into?” Hector’s head swiveled between Avery and me, confusion etched on his face.
