Tentative Date Novels & Stories

"We haven't set a date." She looked at the garden. They had not set a date. The engagement had been real and the rings were real and the elder council had been formally notified and the pack knew, but the date had been a thing they'd circled without landing on. Not avoidance — she didn't think it was avoidance. More like the pacing of something they both understood didn't need to be rushed. "January," she said. "Or later. Spring, if you'd rather—" "January," she said again. More specifically. "When did you have in mind?"

“She’s happy here, and I get to spend time with her. Please stop talking about taking my time with her away.” “I’m sorry, I keep forgetting that’s how you view this. I’ll be back soon.” “Don’t forget, you agreed to a date tonight.” “What do you mean? You said for my birthday, that’s next week.” “Good try, Babe. Today is March 13, and you’re not getting out of it. Josie and I have it all planned out. At 3pm your celebration will begin.”

Wilder inquired. "Not yet, sir. We've um... tried using some strategies to get info, but it's been proving impossible. It's scheduled to launch by the end of the month." Wilder shrugged. "Whatever it is, I'm sure it won't have any impact on us." He began flipping through one of the files in front of him.

"Mr. Sheffield, if you're okay with it, we can arrange a second round of in-depth talks next week. Celebration hopes to finalize a framework agreement by mid-June." Mid-June. June 15th was the date written on my Memo app. The timeline matched perfectly. "We'll see." Ian placed the report on the desk. "We'll wait for the finance department's due diligence results." Erin nodded and turned to leave. As she passed me, she glanced at me. I smiled at her, and she smiled back. Both of us knew perfectly well that our smiles were fake. After she left, I stood up from the couch, walked to Ian's desk, and picked up the report.

The couch we were sitting on was soft and comfortable, and I sunk into it as I leaned back. As I waited for Clancy's response, my mind wandered to the memories of our previous college tours. The adventures we had shared and the memories we had created together. I couldn't help but smile at the thought of reliving those moments once again. Clancy's face turned thoughtful as she mulled over my question. "I'm not sure. I haven't really thought about it yet. What are the dates?" I quickly pulled out my phone and opened up the calendar app. "It's from the 15th to the 20th of April. We'll be visiting some really cool places this time."

“How about the twenty-fifth of next month as the engagement date? The city development tender should be settled by then!” “Alright, the twenty-fifth of next month it is.” Susan immediately agreed, and the two discussed details about Fiona and Jackson’s engagement before going their separate ways. Jackson only returned at ten o’clock that night. Jade started talking to him about the engagement when he returned. “I’ve discussed the engagement with Madam Millers today. The date was decided on the twenty-fifth of next month.”

And hoping we’re doing the right thing by joining Denver in this fight. I slide my elbows on the table in front of me, resting my head in my hands. “So the first half tomorrow, the rest this time next week?” “Let’s say Tuesday for the second half,” Reid murmurs, unfocused eyes staring blankly across the room. “And then we’ll shoot to head out Thursday, so long as the timeline holds.”

Chen-Hale Industries, Friday, December 20, 2026, 4:47 PM Zara looked at her computer screen and tried to focus on the Q4 projections, but her thoughts kept wandering. Five days until Christmas. Marcus would most likely pop the question in five days. She knew it was coming. Everyone knew it was coming. For weeks, there had been conjecture in the group chat. Sophie had "accidentally" shared engagement party ideas from her P*******t boards. Kenya kept emailing links to wedding clothes.

And if it is and she already signed the contract I will kill her. "It's next week we have less than ten days to prepare which will be little considering all that we have to do. His assistant was very particular about the details." Next week was not so bad, "Date?" "Don't be mad okay it's on June 23rd." I looked at her in shock how could she agree? It was on that day I regretted my whole life and for the past 5 years on that particular day I would return to New York to make a few visits.

I said as I took a seat. “How are you doing?” He looked at my IV and studied my face. “Getting there. How is everything coming along?” Axel set the stuff down and walked back out. “Good. I have a list of who is doing what and have emails in the drafts to send out as we discuss them.” Ky looked back at the map and frowned. “What is the tentive date to attack?” I asked. “Three days.” Well, it wasn’t like Waylon was going to be available anyway.
