Violet's mother had woken her and Noah up too many times to count. But never was it as awkward as that particular morning. The difference was that this time her mom knew they were dating and probably thought they had done more than they actually had. She felt wronged. They literally fell asleep! Nothing else had happened! It was difficult getting her mother's knowing smile out of her head. Like an itch she couldn't scratch, the thought festered all the way through physical therapy. Even later, when…

Keeley walked by the entertainment room and saw Violet and Noah cuddling through the crack in the door. She couldn't help but smile at the sight. It appeared those two had always been meant for each other after all. There was no doubt in her mind that they would get married eventually now that Noah had finally made a move. Violet and Noah had always been perfectly in sync, which was a big part of why her brothers had always teased her about being married to him. They had been acting like husband and…

Cynthia was blathering on about something Gray didn't particularly care about but he continued to smile and nod as his mind wandered. Fertility technology had come a long way in the decades he was locked up. If he did manage to find a woman it wouldn't be completely impossible to him to become a father… The idea of finding someone to give birth to a child for him simply to fulfil his desire of having a family wasn't appealing. Gray truly would prefer if someone like Keeley Hale, who miraculously…

Gray was mildly surprised when he saw his niece walk into the restaurant where he was experiencing a somewhat boring date with a gold-digging divorcee. She was holding hands with a tall, dark-haired man Gray recognized but had never met personally. Noah Singleton, the son of Aaron's right hand man. He frowned. Wasn't Violet dating someone else only a few months ago? Not that he had any room to judge, since his girlfriends had never lasted more than a few weeks at a time. But Jeremy Ward was set to…

Violet didn't get her brace off until the end of January. By then she had nothing to do but physical therapy so she ended up spending most of her free time hanging out at Noah's dojo and helping him with administrative tasks. Spring training didn't start until the end of February but Kaleb finally found a group of people willing to take that backpacking trip he cancelled after getting dumped so he was currently in Europe. Sitting around at home alone had been driving her crazy so she begged Noah to give…

Christmastime wasn't terribly fun for Violet since she was stuck on the couch for the most part. At least she was able to eat all the things her mother baked as much as she wanted for the first time in years. She started physical therapy right after the holiday and it was excruciating. Kaleb or Nathan drove her to her appointments since everyone else was at work but sometimes Noah was able to come pick her up from them. Violet followed every instruction to the letter—she absolutely would not stand…

It had been a couple of days since Violet agreed to date him and Noah still couldn't believe it. He was on Cloud 9. Aside from working and sleeping, he was constantly glued to her side. Kaleb joked that he appreciated his willingness to take over as Violet's slave when he came over, making her stick her tongue out at her twin. Noah didn't see it that way at all. He was taking care of the woman he loved as her boyfriend. There was absolutely nothing else he would rather be doing, even though he was tired…

Violet continued staring at him and Noah felt distinctly awkward about it. He looked anywhere but her face to avoiding those piercing dark blue eyes. She had never looked at him like this before. What on earth was she thinking? "I broke up with Jeremy," she said out of the blue. "He wanted me to stop being friends with you. It was a no brainer; of course I would pick my lifelong best friend over a guy I've only known a couple of months." He was so startled he stopped avoiding her gaze. Seriously? She…

Noah knew he ran the risk of running into Jeremy at the hospital but went anyway. He still didn't know what he would say to Violet but he couldn't let her deal with something as scary as knee surgery alone. Kaleb had told him what time it would be happening and that it would take about an hour for the surgery to complete. After that she would have to stay in a hospital bed until she was able to walk with crutches, then they would let her go. He had already dropped her off and had gone to the pharmacy to…

Violet spent the rest of the weekend watching all of the home videos she could involving her mother's family. It helped distract her from thoughts of her impending surgery. There were years and years of footage to go through. Most of the time Robert wasn't in the footage since he was busy filming his wife and daughter. Once Kaleb came along and got a bit older they switched off being the one holding the camera more often. The Halls seemed like such a happy family. The parents loved each other, the…
