William's POV:

I saw what I think are happy tears on Anna's eyes when I said I would like to try to be a father one more time. As she kisses me, I softly caress her cheeks...

Time goes by as usual, our relationship growing exponentially stronger. Friday arrives, I pick Anna from work and head straight to Boston, to Jarrod's school. As we announce ourselves, I saw the receptionist, who allows us in, then we pass through Caroline's desk, I tell Anna: "We need to help this girl, I'll explain later, but let's get to Jarrod first". We walk past her, I give her a quick glance and a smile.

We reach Jarrod, he was very happy to see us, we updated him on our status, he asked us to go with him shopping, that way we could both celebrate, then we would go home and have a great dinner. We decide to wait for him there, so to let time go by faster we go to Caroline: "Hello Caroline, how are things going with Elliott, were you able to solve your differences? We are here to help, we are willing to talk to both of you and share our testimony"...

Jarrod told me he wanted to take me to go shopping for work outfits for my new job after work today. I was excited yet nervous. I mean I still had a week left at my current job, but I was picturing my future in my new job. I wanted to make sure, especially since I was going to be working so closely with Jarrod that everything was perfect.

I couldn't stop thinking about getting to work with the love of my life all day at work. I kept daydreaming and ending up making some stupid minor mistakes throughout the day.

Jarrod was waiting for me after work so as soon as I left the building I quickly hoped into his car and he drove to the store he thought would have just the right outfits for me. I asked him to show me some examples of what he was thinking I should wear. I didn't want to be over or under dressed when I started.

Sadie's POV

I woke up the next day at 9am. My first session at the Anger Management center was not for a couple of days, but I had resolved to find it before then so I didn't have to rush.

My dinner with Liz the previous evening was really nice. She'd been super welcoming and did look really beautiful in her midnight blue knee length dress and her black knee boots. I had been worried I was slightly under dresses as I could only come in my best top and jeans which didn't really hold a candle to what she was wearing 

She did offer me some wine but I declined explaining that I'd just come out of prison after serving a sentence for criminal damage. She heard my sorry tale on the couch and and tears ran down her cheeks when she heard my mum had disowned me and left me with just a single case to my name.

'You poor thing' she said wiping her cheeks with the back of her hand. She went onto explain that she was an orphan and had been since she was sixteen. She'd lost both her parents to cancer at different times. 

I was a bit conflicted when she told me this. Not the story but the fact that she was crying. Although I had enjoyed watching Jessica and Jennifer cry this was when we watched movie marathons of sad movies. To watch someone with tears running down their cheeks because they were still grieving was something else. 

I gave her a hug in the end allowing her to sob into my shoulder. When she had finished she apologised (even though she didn't need to) and we had our meal.

I was pretty exhausted after my long journey so I excused myself at about 9 o'clock. 

I checked my phone but Camilla still hadn't rung yet. A tear streamed down my face. She must still really hate me

William told me he would rather wait for me at home, so, as soon as I finished working, I found him and Anna waiting for me still. I gave him the house keys so they could settle first and we would catch up to them.

I pick up Camilla and go to a fashion store, she accepted my suggestions, so I bought her a black, long sleeve blouse with a beautiful red, knee length skirt and pair of two inch heels (I pictured her sexy calves in those heels, I was about to repent buying them, I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes off her); a black winter, long sleeve shirt paired with a gray miniskirt and black leggings, with one inch heel shoes; for autumn, a white with black dots three quarter length blouse, a black leather jacket, a black, mid-thigh miniskirt, paired with white one inch laced heels; a formal white, long sleeve blouse with black dress pants and a black leather belt; a beach, long sleeve blouse with a sexy black skirt, above the knee paired with high heel red stilettos; a beach blouse with a light brown sweater paired with a just above the knee skirt and orange flats; and finally, a white long sleeve shirt with a pearl mid-thigh skirt and green two inch heels.

After Camilla tried all of those and more outfits, we go home to meet with William and Anna.

Jarrod picked me up after work and drove me to a nice formal business wear store I had never heard of just outside of town. He gave me a few suggestions of what he thought would be appropriate attire yet still look flattering on me.

Jarrod bought me a black, long sleeve blouse with a beautiful red, knee length skirt and pair of two inch heals a black winter, long sleeve shirt paired with a gray miniskirt and black leggings, with one inch heel shoes; for autumn, a white with black dots three quarter length blouse, a black leather jacket, a black, mid-thigh miniskirt, paired with white one inch laced heels; a formal white, long sleeve blouse with black dress pants and a black leather belt; a beach, long sleeve blouse with a sexy black skirt, above the knee paired with high heel red stilettos; a beach blouse with a light brown sweater paired with a just above the knee skirt and orange flats; and finally, a white long sleeve shirt with a pearl mid-thigh skirt and green two inch heels.

I insisted on paying as I thought it was too much. That Jarrod was being too kind, but he wouldn't hear of it so without arguing I let him pay. He kissed me as we left the store saying "Anything for my love."

As soon as we got into his car he told me he had a surprise for me.

"William and Anna stopped by my work earlier. They made the long drive because they said they had good news to tell us that had to be said in person. I gave them the keys to my house and told them to wait there for us. They plan on staying the weekend." Jarrod began quickly "How ever if you'd rather have a quiet weekend feel free to crash at your place instead. They'll understand. We're not officially married yet and you still have your own place to go to anytime." He finished in a caring tone.

"I've always liked your brother and his wife. I have no problem staying at your place with them. They will be my family soon enough. Besides I'm interested to hear the good news." I said lovingly as we began our drive home.
