Christina and Taylor laughed together at Chloe’s enthusiasm. Taylor had
been exactly right about Chloe hitting the freaking moon with excitement.
Chloe absolutely loved Christina. Taylor knew the feeling was mutual.
Somehow, again, timing had worked its magic. If it wasn’t for the chicken
pox, Taylor might never have realized that there was a softer side to
Christina. She’d never been a big believer in most things happening for a

She thought back to when she’d first met Adriana and Juliana and how

“Let’s just do this.” Chloe was very enthusiastic about the hug.
“This sounds good.”
Taylor grinned. “This sounds very, very good.” She tightened her arms
around the two people who had transformed her world for the better.

would always feel so blessed that she’d ended up where she had, but at the
moment, she was so happy that it was hard to believe that she was living
