    Something like that.

    When I suggested celebrating after work, I genuinely believed we'd be sharing good news. Brit's reaction caught me off guard—her excitement evaporated, replaced by disbelief. "You're turning it down?" she asked, her brows knitting together. "Yeah, I've got something else in mind for work," I admitted, guilt prickling beneath my words. "Wait, he's leaving us?" Brit gestured to Michael, her confusion turning to concern as she tried to process the news. "Not us. His shitty career," M

    Either she's an old soul or her young soul became old after all she's gone through.

    That scenario played differently every time Ashley brought someone with her. Mini-me was comparing them all, including Leslie. But, it probably still stung either way. The way that @LunaM.described it best was "ripping off the band-aid in one go rather than tugging it off gradually." That goodbye was Ashley ripping that band-aid off.

    That's kind of how it felt writing it. @LunaM.was my witness and collaborator on this one.

    I was sulking the entire drive back. No doubt Cove used my "birthday gift" as a means to distract me, but didn't realize it would work so well. Lately, we seemed as playful—and immature—as we'd been in our twenties. "What would you like me to order for lunch, love?" He asked after pulling into the driveway. "Lunch?" I asked, my attention finally shifting. "Your birthday, your choice. We'll need the energy later if I'm going to be dessert," He added, silver eyes glinting with misch

    Couldn't have described it better myself! Yes, and he's also finally being honest and vocal with Cove instead of totally avoiding since on a subconscious level, his trust in him has grown and grown.
  8. Thirdly
    Ha ha! You caught it. Cove was mostly joking around, but Ash did indeed say he'd at least commit to next year. 😂

    The day's not fully over yet. 👀

    Success? 😂

    He was just teasing him. Earlier he said he wouldn't really take it back. He wouldn't really do that to Ash, he wants it just as bad. 🤣
  12. Thirdly
    Yes, Ash has quite a few things to resolve. And, unfortunately, there is still even more to come. On the bright side, Ash is beginning to use 'we' when it comes to him and Cove?

    I jolted awake, hips thrusting into the heat surrounding me. Blinking away sleep, I caught Cove's silver gaze glinting with mischief—just before he swallowed me whole. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. "Oh, fuck!" I groaned, threading my fingers through Cove's hair. He held himself at the base, sucking hard for a moment. My legs trembled as I fought to stay still. Cove was relentless, his head bobbing quickly over my length before sinking down to the base. I bit my arm to stifle the urge to thr

    We just have to be grateful our parents didn't name us something like Polly Esther or Clair Voyant.
  15. Thirdly
    Exactly. They kept a keen eye on Ash's reactions and came to the same conclusion.
  16. Thirdly
    Cove didn't really name her after him, he just thought of Ash at the moment and said his name aloud. It was Todd who took that name and ran with it. But, Cove did consent to it so...also it's not all that uncommon to name a first or lastborn after an ex. My name technically was the name of my dad's ex. 😂
  17. Thirdly
    No, you're reading it all right. This is from Ash's perspective. He's been blindsided by his family (albeit not entirely intentionally).

    Prologue

    Thirdly commented on Thirdly's story chapter in Prologue

    In his dad's defense, the technical visitor is actually his son Ash. Cove has kept in more contact with Mr. & Mrs. Barren than Ash himself because they were like a second set of parents to him. The parents actually totally forgot that Ash was also going to be joining them. But, Ash wasn't privy to any of this so he got the brunt of all the surprises.
  19. Thirdly
    Yes, something like that.
  20. Thirdly
    No, you're just awesome.
  21. Thirdly
    Not a coincidence at all. When I chose Barren as Ash's name, I made the rest of the family's names desert-themed because I'm a total dork. 😂
  22. Thirdly
    Yes, hopefully it'll help Ash keep a clearer head going forward. I think we all come across a Joseph in our lives...Ash just met his a little too soon. And, yes, Cove has his own brand of faith. 😆
  23. Thirdly
    A clever kid that trusts her gut instincts!
  24. Thirdly
    Yes, Ash is starting to pull himself together. Cove is more clever and patient than he was in the past. He sees the big picture of what they could be, even if Ash doesn't.

    "Joseph, I think I'm in love with you." "Are you shitting me right now? I just want to fuck you. Nothing's really useful about you other than as a means to blow my load." I tossed and turned in bed as I woke, shaken by a vivid nightmare I didn't want to revisit. As I gradually became more alert, the dream clung to me; it was rooted in an old memory, and I was surprised by how real it felt. It was almost as if I'd been transported back to my younger, more naive self. After a few mo
