There’s far more ahead than there ever was behind.

HOW CAN SO much happen in less than two weeks?

Since that first date with Ryker, the other aspects of my life have been taking center stage. My budding relationship was placed on pause while my all was dedicated to graduating and finishing the college. The time we’ve spent together since that night hasn’t been nearly enough for my liking but the distance was unavoidable. Plenty of long chats and fun days wait around the corner. That will all happen soon enough when it’s just us.

All summer long, and hopefully well beyond that.

I glance at my diploma on the counter and take a moment to appreciate the significance. That fancy piece of paper acknowledges four years of hard work and I’m prepared to put my freshly minted skills to good use. The professors set me free with a stack of recommendation letters, a bundle of real world advice, and the best wishes for starting my own business. The only unfinished business is the logo contest. The winner won’t be announced until later this month but my abstract sunrise design made it into the final round so . . . fingers crossed.

“Did your parents finally leave?” Lucy asks as she rolls another suitcase into the living room, effectively popping my haze.

I groan at the mention of my mom and dad, clingy and bossy as ever.

“Yes, thankfully. Although they put up a decent fight, especially when they found out I was moving further away.”

Of course, my overbearing parents tried corralling me back to their house but I refused before my dad could finish. When I told them about the studio space in Denten, they were not impressed. The protruding vein on my mother’s forehead pulsed with worry as my father did everything in his manipulative power to convince me our hometown had better options. I swatted away their concerns and hugged them tight.

The old me could have been swayed but my backbone has strengthened recently, thanks to a certain someone. I’m a grown-ass woman, very capable of making my own choices, and need to start standing up for myself. That extends to situations with Ryker too. Although in a very particular setting, I wouldn’t mind him bossing me around a little. Fire laps at my cheeks just thinking about him that way.

“Thinking of someone special? Do mommy and daddy dearest know Seeky-poo is planning to shack up with you?” Lucy laughs.

My eyes bulge.

“Heck no! Are you crazy? Even at twenty-two years old, I’m still a little girl to them. Boys are not allowed within fifty feet. Can you imagine? They’d drag me back to Kentville kicking and screaming if they found out.”

“I hear ya. Plus, dating him behind their back is extra sexy. Makes it all forbidden and hot.” Lucy gnashes her teeth while growling but her silly gestures are lost on me.

My gut twists at the mention of keeping Ryker hidden, for several reasons. It’s not that I’m embarrassed of him, quite the opposite, but my parents are freakishly overprotective.
