releases her lip and smirks as she raises an eyebrow. I look down and chuckle then back up at her beautiful face. “Ok. I will be patient.” She giggles and then stops suddenly as I get serious. “Can we try?”
She nods slowly. “I’d like that. I just want to make sure it’s okay with Jade and Knox. You know how much I love them and look up to them. I don’t want anything more to come between us. I had a hard enough time telling them what all happened since…. Well, I had a major time convincing them that I will be fine here. Your dad only said it was okay because he put in the state of the art alarm system and TV monitors and gadgets. The only other thing that saved me was that all the self-defense training Jade gave me years ago. Of course that didn’t help much when Ricco surprised me but I’m on the defensive now.”
I smile and look down watching my thumb softly rubbing the top of her hand unconsciously. “Yeah, well. That’s true but….” I look back up and see her smiling at me. “How about I stop by the house on the way back from class and talk with them or do you want to wait and come too? Pearl’s leaving tomorrow to go check out a painting exhibit and wants to see you before she leaves anyway.” Her eyes light up.
“Yes. I need to see her before she goes. I feel bad that I haven’t gotten to spend any time with her. I’ll just meet you over there after your class that way I can get some things done in the office here.”
I tighten my hand around hers, finally let go and we have the best breakfast ever. I can’t wait to move in. Maybe after talking with Mom and Dad today I can go ahead and bring some stuff over tonight and then move in this weekend. I think I finally have my girl back. I’m gonna marry her one day. Smiling I pick up my fork, scoop up a huge bite and just watch her. I think things are finally changing for the better.

I’m so nervous. Knox is gonna freak out, I just know it. Now Jade? I’m not sure what her reaction will be. She seems to be more of a ‘nowadays’ kind of mom, one that understands life better and supports you no matter what. I guess after her horrible life as a child growing up it would have made her that way. Knox had a rough life too but he seems to be really overprotective of all of his family, even me. At least he was somewhat a father figure to me growing up since mine wasn’t around.
After getting one of the offices cleaned and then taking my bath, cleaning up my room and watching a little TV, I head over to the Dunways. Bo’s motorcycle is already there when I pull into the circle drive and I’m relieved. When I approach the door and knock, it opens quickly and I’m in Bo’s arms before I can blink. “Uh, Bo. Can’t breathe, babe,” I choke out as he squeezes all the air out of my lungs. He releases me but puts his arm around my waist and leads me into the house, his gorgeous smile huge on his face. “Well, you’re in a good mood.” He looks down and winks. Hmmm, wonder what he’s up to.
It started to sprinkle on me on the way over so I’m not surprised to find Knox, Jade and Pearl sitting in the living room, well Knox is pacing the floor, as usual. Pearl stands up from her chair and runs to me, arms open, making Bo let go of me so we can hug. “I’m sorry I haven’t gotten to spend any time with you while I’ve been home but guess what?” My eyes widen, and my smile is big. “I’m moving home. I figure I can do my painting from wherever and I’m tired of not being around my family.”
“Oh, my God! That’s great news! I’m so happy! I’ll be able to see you more. I’ve missed you.” We hug again, and my heart is full.
I hear a throat clear, my eyes move to Knox. Pearl winks at me and returns to her seat and when my eyes move to Jade, she winks at me too. Does everyone know something I don’t know? My head turns to Bo when I feel his hand grasp mine, his fingers threading through
