I pointed at the jewelry. “Can you tell us about this stuff?” I dumped it all out on the desk. The woman stepped forward and glanced at it, then at me. “This was given to you?” I shook my head. “No.” I hesitated. “To my mate.” She touched each item in turn, slowly, almost lovingly….

felt after that are entirely yours. You and the woman. Love is love,” she said, smiling even more broadly. I sat back, breath shuddering out of me in relief. That relief was quickly overcome by the questions. There were so many. There was only one way to get the answers to those questions. I glanced…

impressed us by making a dinner of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and roasted Brussel sprouts. The girls and I were pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. Jordyn even made a comment that he was in charge of dinner from now on. “I don’t know that I’m ready for such a big responsibility,” Tate had answered….

I looked around the office when he left. After seeing Steff’s office, it was a little weird how bare it was. Steff’s office had been positively lively compared to this.
