Biting down on the apple I grabbed from the kitchen, I sat at my desk in oodness, but I still had so by Monday so she could sell it to so the song, because it didn’t really ot paid

Itout thereforlist Or so Aunt E me

Thinking of Jace ht, but he had obligations on the East Coast this weekend, and he was going to spend today and Sunday with Alicia in Bristol before flying back Monday Carolina Rebellion was going on, and Tainted Knights had gotten one of the best slots on the roster for Friday They weren’t closing the show, that honor was reserved for De act, not by a long shot

My guy and his band weren’t on the up-and-co list, they had already arrived, and I couldn’t have been prouder of him

After I typed in my password for my laptop, I saw there was aalready open Since it was a social ured Jace had been the last to be on there He was alwaysfor one of the band’s newest songs, posting on the TK fan page that already had over two million followers

He needed someone just for social media these days, but he liked to do most of it hi the pictures Santana took of the band, their fans got their daily dose of all things Tainted, and then some

Shaking e alert popped up at the bottom of the screen

Frowning, I glanced at the top of the page and instantly realized it wasn’t the band’s fan page, but Jace’s personal—and set to private—page The nanized

Eden Smith

Who the hell was that?

The picture of her beside her nae for a moment, which was some picture that hadn’t yet downloaded I clicked on her photo, unable to completely make it out It was some blonde as super skinny Her face was scarred fro use I couldn’t tell which

But it wasn’t the scars that hadthe picture even more, and they sure as hell weren’t responsible forin the beauty under the scars and bad makeup The chick hadn’t learned to contour for shit, but that didn’t couise just how pretty she was

Her hair was naturally blond, not the dyed and fried job so blue—or they would have been if they hadn’t been glazed fro thatso bloodshot She had a s hand-rolled With her bikini top, I could see easily she had a decent rack and a tight sto outstanding about the photo She was pretty, sure, but not overly beautiful

So why the hell wasat her?

I didn’t understand it I didn’t know her, even if she did look fa to do with me And I knew for a fact that she wasn’t friends with Jace on this social e He didn’t let fans becoreed early on e’d started dating again that he wouldn’t let work cross over into our personal lives, and that meant social media especially

I exited out of her profile picture and clicked on thethe Eden chick with a huge smile on her face and the most adorable little baby in her arms wrapped in blue The baby boy had a full head of blond curls, just like the wo him As she was in what looked like a hospital bed and based on the small size of the baby, I could only assuiven birth in this picture

As I was looking at the adorable baby, happily skiaze over that cute as hell little die appeared below the picture

Finally here! Our baby boy is perfect, Jace I can’t believe he’s here! Wish you were here with me I miss you Love you more than anyone…except our beautiful boy
