“Favorite part?” Myles insisted.

“I met a girl,” I finally speak out.

Kingston chuckles. “Did you now?”

“You’re too young to be thinking about girls,” Dad said.

I looked in the rearview mirror and said, “I’m going to marry her. Today, I met my wife.”

To this day, my family makes fun of that moment, but it was true. I met the love of my life on the first day of school.

Dad sighed. “Please tell me you’re not talking about that girl Piper.”

“Why not?”

“She looks like trouble.”

“But she’s smart and has the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen.”

“Why don’t we have this conversation after you turn eighteen?” Dad suggested.

“Before or after you buy me the jet?”

“After.”

“Okay, I can wait that long.”

Dad and I had several conversations about you throughout the years. That brings me to your first assignment. You have to talk to him or Kingston about us. God knows I love my parents, but I don’t know what they’re thinking.

They might be getting ready to kick you out of our properties. Everything I owned is now yours. Call the lawyer, then King, and finally visit Dad. Make sure they know you’re my next of kin. I know you don’t want anything but trust me, you’ll use it later. There’s a step that will require my assets, so don’t give them up.

Love you forever,

Archer

PS Silver lining moment… not many can say they spent all their lives with the love of their life. I did. Thank you.

ChapterFive

Piper

April 14th

I’m tempted to watch more than just the one video, but the fear of going through all the memories he stored for me stops me.

It’s cute to watch five toddlers playing music. This was the first time I taught Archer how to play. In the video, I can see how I stopped what I was doing a few times to teach Arch how to keep his arms loose as he played the maracas.

It draws a smile to my face to see how Archer was less tense at the end of that day. He changed so much from the frightened little boy who joined our quad. I hope that someday when he comes back, we have a son who’s just like him—smart, kind, and loving.

I don’t know if it’s Archer’s letter or the fact that I have something to look forward to or feeling closer to him that makes me get out of bed and leave the house this morning.

When I arrive at my parents’ place, it’s quiet.Weird since Kip and Keith are noisy.

“Is anybody home?”

“I’m in my office, Ladybug,” Dad calls out.

Before I head there, I stop by the kitchen to prepare myself some tea and steal a few cookies from the jar.
