“Come with me,” she cut in. Her honey-colored eyes piercing me.
“Where?”
“Anywhere. Everywhere. Wherever you go, take me with you.” She took my hands into hers and pulled me in closer to her body. I wanted to pull away, but I wanted to stay more. Her forehead rested against mine. “Stay, Jax.”
“Sun…”
“Stay, Moon,” she whispered, placing her hands against my chest.
My eyes closed as my mind began to spin.
“Stay with me,” she pleaded.
“I have nothing, Kennedy. I have nothing to give you.”
“Give me your heart, and that’s all I need. Please, Jax. Please,” she begged, running her lips gently across mine. “If you stay, I’ll love you forever.”
I opened my eyes, and there she was, my lover. My friend. My sunlight.
“What am I going to do?” I asked, my voice cracking.
“Let’s go home tonight, and we’re going figure it out in the morning. Okay?”
We’re going to figure it out.
We.
It wasn’t just me, myself, and I anymore. I wasn’t walking alone, because Kennedy was brave enough to walk beside me.
I nodded slowly and took her hand into mine. “Okay.”

“What are you doing here?How did you know where I was staying?” Derek asked the next morning.
“There’s only one bed and breakfast in town. It’s not that hard to figure out.” I didn’t sleep a wink the previous night, because Jax couldn’t sleep, so I stayed up with him until the sun came peeking through the windows.
“Can I show you something?” I asked.
Derek scratched at his beard and cleared his throat. “Stacey and I have to get to the airport soon. I don’t really have time.”
“It won’t take long. I just want to show you.”
“Show me what?”
“What Jax has created. Just come look, please. I promise you’ll see that your family property needs to stay with Jax.”
He glanced to his wrist watch then crossed his arms. “I only have about twenty minutes to spare.”
“Trust me, it won’t take that long.”
He didn’t say anything else, just nodded in agreement.
I led Derek to the woods on Jax’s land. We didn’t say a word the whole way there. Once we arrived at the field of daisies, Derek’s eyes watered over seeing all of the flowers.
“Daisies,” he muttered, sounding like his brother.
