“Where am I going with Daddy?” Jacob asked for probably the thirtieth time since Avery had told him Jude’s plans to spend the week with him.

“Chicago,” Avery told him again. She’d noticed when he was nervous or unsure about something, he kept repeating the same questions. “Remember the pictures we looked up last night of that big silver bean and the bridges and the pizza?”

Jacob nodded as he waded on the shores of the lake, kicking the water with his feet.

The property the castle sat on had private lake access that was not open to the public. There was a small trail hidden behind an overgrown bush that led down the wooded area to the water. Avery had found it, by accident, when she’d been on a walk with Keaton. This was the location where they’d shared their first kiss. It was where they’d spent the entire night lying on the grass just talking under the stars.

It was strange but she felt like they’d crammed an entire relationship into two weeks. Keaton hadn’t officially opened Legacy yet because he was waiting for his business license before he could start classes, so his schedule was pretty open. Avery was just on site to oversee the renovation, but thanks to hiring an incredible GC who she checked in with for a quick update every day, there hadn’t been a lot to do, so she’d just hung out with Keaton.

They’d gone down to the lake, on trail-walks all through the wooded area around the castle, and explored every inch of the castle. They’d talked and talked and talked, and hadn’t ever run out of things to say. Those days were like a dream, one that she’d never wanted to wake up from.

But not as sick to her stomach as watching Zara and Keaton make out had.

Avery thought that after seeing them flirting on TV the past few days, she could handle seeing the PDA in person. She’d been wrong.

Seeing them lock lips had caused her to have a physical reaction. It was like someone punched her in the stomach. She thought she was going to throw up. It was horrible. But just like a car crash, she hadn’t been able to look away.

It was insane to her that she’d gotten so much more upset seeing Keaton kissing Zara than she had when she’d walked in on Jude and Celeste naked in bed together.

After she left the set, she’d gone back to her office and cried. She’d cried over Keaton, a man she’d technically never had a relationship with, and hadn’t spoken to in five years, a man who kissed a woman he was “dating” on a reality TV show.

There was something seriously wrong with her. After her sob session, she’d made an appointment with a therapist named Anne Perkins. She’d clicked on her
