(Winona) 

After dinner, the house falls into that familiar quiet. Abby’s already tucked into bed. Jayden’s sitting across from me in his den, sipping on his usual port nightcap 

By the way he’s eyeing me, he knows something’s on my mind. 

I lean back in my chair, running my fingers through my hair. “So… I’ve been thinking. 

Jayden raises an eyebrow, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips. “Should I be worried?” 

I roll my eyes but can’t help but grin. “Depends.” 

He chuckles softly, setting his port glass down. “Alright, hit me. What’s on your mind?” 

I take a deep breath, deciding to just dive in. “It’s about the no contact order with Judy. I’ve been wondering if you’ve reconsidered letting Abby see her–supervised, of course. I’d be there. And… There’s also the matter of Phillip and me having Brennan Industries as a client. I don’t want it to cause any issues for my business.” 

Jayden’s expression shifts, the playfulness gone. He leans forward, elbows resting on the table, his gaze never leaving mine. “I haven’t changed my stance on seeing Judy personally. I still don’t want her around Abby unless I know it’s 100% safe. But if you’re there…. I guess I can make adjustments.” 

“Thank you. I know it’s a lot to ask, but Abby misses her. She asks about her all the time. And I think-” 

“I get it,” Jayden interrupts, his voice calm but firm. I’m not doing this for Judy. I’m doing it for Abby. If I thought Judy could manipulate her like she did with us, I’d never even consider it. But we know her tricks, Winona. Neither of us will let it happen.” 

I nod, grateful that he trusts me, that he’s willing to bend. “I will never let her have that kind of influence over Abby.” 

Jayden’s eyes soften, and he reaches across the table, taking my hand in his. “I know you won’t. And as for Brennan Industries, I’ll make sure the no contact order doesn’t interfere with your business. You shouldn’t have to walk on eggshells because of Judy.” 

Relief washes over me, and I squeeze his hand. “You’re amazing, you know that?” 

“I try,” he says with a grin, though there’s a seriousness in his eyes that tells me he’s still thinking about the implications of all this. “I’ll get my legal team to make the adjustments. That way, you can move forward with Phillip and the business without any worries.” 

I nod, grateful beyond words. “Thank you. Phillip said he will handle things at Brennan Industries so I don’t have to. I just… I don’t want anything to mess with what we’re building. Our family, my business, everything. It’s all so important.” 

Jayden’s thumb strokes the back of my hand, his touch steady and reassuring. “Nothing’s going to with us, Winona. We’ve been through too much already, We’re stronger than any of this bullshit.” 

I smile, feeling the tension ease out of my shoulders. “Yeah. We are.”

I laugh and clink my glass against his. “To that.” 

But even as we sit there, a small part of me can’t help but wonder if I’m asking for too much. Judy’s manipulative, and we both know It 

Letting her back into Abby’s life, even in a controlled environment, feels like walking a tightrope. 

We’ve handled worse. 

I still need to tell him about the visit from Gus. But I don’t want to kill his buzz just yet. 

Jayden clears his throat. “There’s something else, though.” 

I glance at him, intrigued. “What?” 

“You know how I’m the wedding planner?” he says, his voice casual but laced with something more. “I want to set a date. Make it official.” 

My heart skips a beat, and I sit up a little straighter. 1 guess we do need to set a date.” 

“Yeah,” he says, that familiar smirk playing on his lips again. “I’ve already checked out venues. Got a few options for you to choose from.” 

I blink, surprised. “Okay, I’m listening. What are the options?” 

He starts ticking them off on his fingers. “Beach wedding, garden wedding, international wedding- Venice, Italy, wherever. There’s also a grand ballroom at one of the five–star hotels in the city. Or if you want something more traditional, we can do a church wedding.” 

I stare at him, my mind racing. “You’ve really thought this through.” 

“Not 

only have I thought this through, I have their free dates this year and costs.” 

“That’s very impressive. When did you get time?” 

“Henry and I have put in the hours. He’s a very good adviser.” 

“I guess he has his dad’s business acumen. Thanks for putting so much effort into this, Into us.”
