I’m about to inform her about my misfortune when my phone begins to vibrate in my hand, Jace’s photo covering the whole screen.

Fresh Meet: Special Edition by Jasmin Miller | Goodreads

The exhaustion crashes down on me like a sledgehammer, and a quick look at the oven clock confirms it’s late. Jace nods at my words but still avoids my gaze as he starts the car and drives out of the hospital parking lot with a quietly snoring Tanner in the backseat. Feeling his hard muscles on the backside of my hand has made me all antsy, ready to crawl out of my skin this very second. He takes a bite of his sandwich, chews, and swallows, his Adam’s apple pulling my gaze to the smooth skin of his neck.His nostrils flare as he’s forced to step closer so Tanner won’t faceplant or set foot on the floor in his messy state. Emilia joins us a moment later, Tanner directing her to sit right beside me, so he can sit on both of our laps at the same time. Even though he only reaches to mid-thigh, he turned out to be the biggest distraction I’ve ever had in my life. Having Tanner in my life quickly showed me that acting like the world is about to end over a broken cracker is pretty much included in the job description of a toddler.

My limbs feel heavy as I close the distance between us and mimic his position, grabbing him under his arms as he halfway jumps into mine. My bad judgment is apparent by the drenched light blue dress shirt that’s clinging to my upper body like a second skin.When I’m tempted to look beyond lap times and medals to bedtime stories and the possibility of love, I face one of the hardest questions of my life: is it worth the risk? He was closed off this whole time, looking cool and controlled from the second he opened that door to the emergency room. Thank you so much to Jasmin for the copy of Fresh Meet to read before release day, I loved every page! Then we stare at each other like we just survived a zombie apocalypse and can’t believe we’re still alive. She lifts her arms to cross them over her chest but not before I notice her hard nipples through the thin material.

We walk out of the hospital in silence, Tanner’s head heavy on my shoulder as his breaths slowly even out and his grip loosens around my neck. Emilia walks in my direction, her skirt swaying around her hips like it’s trying to pique my interest.Emilia’s clearly confused, her gaze ping-ponging back and forth between me and my mom, all the while Tanner clings to her like he’s a koala and she’s his favorite eucalyptus tree. No one ever needs to see this many body fluids and stomach contents at the same time, that’s for sure. I put on whatever is within reach, not paying much attention to what it is, before grabbing a few things to throw it in my purse.
