<v Speaker 1>can never listen to you without laughing. I'm going through

<v Speaker 1>a lot at the moment, and you girls never fail

<v Speaker 1>to make my day. I would love if you girls

<v Speaker 1>could read Corrupt by Penelope Douglas.

<v Speaker 3>That's been on my radar.

<v Speaker 1>I've been meaning to send it in the group chat.

<v Speaker 3>I made it.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Dark Romance.

<v Speaker 1>We're sorry to hear you're going through a bad time.

<v Speaker 1>I'm glad, okay to laugh, Oh my gosh, yes, and

<v Speaker 1>thank you for the sweet comment. And this week we're

<v Speaker 1>telling Riley all about Broken Beginnings by Cleo Evans and

<v Speaker 1>how many stars did you guys give it?

<v Speaker 3>On good Reads?

<v Speaker 2>I gave it a four. I typically like suspenseful romances, though,

<v Speaker 2>but I was very shocked that I liked it this

<v Speaker 2>much because all I can think about was, this is

<v Speaker 2>the same author as.

<v Speaker 1>The other book, oh the not so kind regards?

<v Speaker 2>Yes, And I was like, yeah, where's that megaverse coming in?

<v Speaker 3>Or there's no omegaverse megaverse? No, it was good.

<v Speaker 5>I still I'm not sure how I feel about it.

<v Speaker 3>It was good.

<v Speaker 5>I just have internal things. I have thoughts about it.

<v Speaker 5>It's like a bully romance, but you you would think

<v Speaker 5>that there would be more what's that word troveling?

<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Oh yeah.

<v Speaker 4>She was just like He's like sorry and she's.

<v Speaker 3>Like okay, yeah, Like I don't know.

<v Speaker 4>I just for a bully romance.

<v Speaker 5>He would think there'd be more of that, But you

<v Speaker 5>know whatever, it was good though.

<v Speaker 3>I gave it a four and a half.

<v Speaker 1>I really liked it, but I did subtract a half

<v Speaker 1>star because it was a human penis.

<v Speaker 2>But that's how you're going to do your rating system

<v Speaker 2>from now on.

<v Speaker 1>Right, yes, the maximum a human contemporary romance can get

<v Speaker 1>is four and a half from me from here on out.

<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's right.

<v Speaker 5>It's fourteen years ago and Halle's sister Sarah is dragging

<v Speaker 5>her to a graduation party at the Harlow House. Halle

<v Speaker 5>doesn't want to go because she's two years younger and

<v Speaker 5>she isn't into the party scene. And also, Cameron Harlowe,

<v Speaker 5>one of the Harlow brothers, is her school bully. She

<v Speaker 5>gets bullied at school from Cameron because four years ago

<v Speaker 5>her dad walked out on them.

<v Speaker 4>Then her mom committed suicide right after.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she had it. Come in and he's like, he

<v Speaker 3>suck your mom died, gotcha?

<v Speaker 4>Oh my god.

<v Speaker 5>So now they live in Texas with their grandma Honey cute.

<v Speaker 5>Hallie finally agrees to go to the party, and once

<v Speaker 5>are there, of course, her older sister Sarah diches her.

<v Speaker 4>She's like, poeceugh, I'd kill her.

<v Speaker 3>Halle.

<v Speaker 5>Hears someone call her name and it's a guy with

<v Speaker 5>dark hair and a darker gaze. As he's moving towards her.

<v Speaker 5>A drunk, Cameron slips his arms around Hallie and announced

<v Speaker 5>that she's made it to the party.

<v Speaker 4>She tries pushing her.

<v Speaker 5>Bully off and they exchange angry words and the next

<v Speaker 5>thing she knows, he dumps a beer all over in

<v Speaker 5>front of her, and she snaps and her nice dress

<v Speaker 5>is all ruined.

<v Speaker 1>Also, like, what kind of man bullies a woman dur

<v Speaker 1>in high school?

<v Speaker 4>A pathetic pussy bitch?

<v Speaker 2>You don't have a boy bullies in high school. That

<v Speaker 2>just means boys like you.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Hallie punches Cameron straight in the face and he

<v Speaker 5>grabs her face to sneer something at her, but before

<v Speaker 5>he could, his brother, Hunter, who's the oldest, yanks him

<v Speaker 5>back and tells him he's going to regret that, and

<v Speaker 5>then apologizes to Hallie as she walks home alone. It's

<v Speaker 5>twelve years later and Hallie's driving her Corvette from her

<v Speaker 5>home in Boston to the one place she swore she'd

<v Speaker 5>never go back, to, Austin, Texas. She's made a name

<v Speaker 5>for herself since leaving Texas. She writes articles for a

<v Speaker 5>well known international travel magazine and it's taken her all

<v Speaker 5>over the world and it's made.

<v Speaker 4>Her very wealthy.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, except for something traumatic happened three weeks ago, and

<v Speaker 5>she needs her family now more than anything. Her sister,

<v Speaker 5>Sarah is married and a mom to twins, but they

<v Speaker 5>have since lost contact. Regardless of the family drama that's

<v Speaker 5>going on, she knows that she.

<v Speaker 4>Needs to be home.

<v Speaker 3>Here in Stitrus Cove.

<v Speaker 5>There's no crazy killer, there's no dead neighbor, and hopefully

<v Speaker 5>no more nightmares of her dying in her arms.

<v Speaker 3>What's happening.

<v Speaker 5>She rings the doorbell in front of her home and

<v Speaker 5>Honey answers, and she immediately breaks down. Honey brings her

<v Speaker 5>in the house, calms her down, and then tells.

<v Speaker 4>Her to spill.

<v Speaker 5>Three weeks ago, she was leaving her apartment when she

<v Speaker 5>heard screams down the hall. The door was cracked, and

<v Speaker 5>when she opened it, she witnessed the man slitting a

<v Speaker 5>woman's throat. He was wearing a mask and charged right

<v Speaker 5>after her, trying to attack her. Next we missed her

<v Speaker 5>core but got her arm. Other people heard the commotion

<v Speaker 5>and he ran off, and the woman in the apartment

<v Speaker 5>in her arms, and she had visible signs of being tortured.

<v Speaker 1>I'd be fucked up, That'd be so unwell.

<v Speaker 5>She's living with survivor's guilt since that day, because although

<v Speaker 5>she knows it's not her fault, She feels horrible and

<v Speaker 5>in a sense responsible that the girl was being tortured

<v Speaker 5>doors away from her. She feels like if she would

<v Speaker 5>have paid more attention, she could have potentially been able

<v Speaker 5>to stop it from happening if she was more aware.

<v Speaker 5>Since everything happened, her bestie Emma, took care of her

<v Speaker 5>and that's where she's been staying. Her boss, Tina, has

<v Speaker 5>given her personal leave and after three weeks of being

<v Speaker 5>at Emma's house, she knew she had to go home

<v Speaker 5>because there's one thing that happened that night that she

<v Speaker 5>hasn't told one single soul about and she felt like

<v Speaker 5>running away was the only way to escape at all.

<v Speaker 3>Didn't she tell anyone? I don't know.

<v Speaker 5>Cameron's family has owned a vineyard and an orchard for

<v Speaker 5>over eighty years. It's a family tradition one day to

<v Speaker 5>carve the initials into the oak tree once they found love.

<v Speaker 5>And now that he's thirty two, he can't help but

<v Speaker 5>to wonder when it's going to be his turn. Cameron,

<v Speaker 5>every Harlowe has their initials in the tree, except him

<v Speaker 5>and his two brothers, Hunter the oldest and Sammy the younger.

<v Speaker 5>Him and his best friend Colton of twenty years co

<v Speaker 5>owned the bar, and Hunter is out of town, so

<v Speaker 5>Cameron has been working himself thin, trying to juggle the

<v Speaker 5>vineyard and the orchard while everyone is away. Colt Coast

<v Speaker 5>to visit Cameron at work and he tells him he

<v Speaker 5>has some tea today. He heard that Halle Bentley's back

<v Speaker 5>in Citrus Cove, and now that Cameron's frontal lobe is

<v Speaker 5>fully developed, he realized how much he tormented the poor

<v Speaker 5>girl and wishes to make amends. And we kind of

<v Speaker 5>find out why Cameron was so horrible to Halle when

<v Speaker 5>they were younger, and.

<v Speaker 4>It's stupid as fuck.

<v Speaker 5>It's because during that time in his life, he lost

<v Speaker 5>his grandmother, and when Halle and her sister moved here,

<v Speaker 5>it was during that exact same time, and it was

<v Speaker 5>one big change all at once, and two beautiful girls

<v Speaker 5>were a huge change, and he didn't know how to

<v Speaker 5>separate his anger and the grief over the pining that

<v Speaker 5>he felt for Halle, and like the insecurities of it all,

<v Speaker 5>so he kind of just lashed out on her, specifically.

<v Speaker 3>My grandma died, I'm gonna be you moved here in

<v Speaker 3>her place. It's your fault. She died.

<v Speaker 5>Halle, here's a knock at her door, and she's scared

<v Speaker 5>that it's a crazy murderer. But have no fear, it's

<v Speaker 5>just a beautiful sexy man.

<v Speaker 1>Okay. His eyes lit up with more amusement as he

<v Speaker 1>realized I didn't recognize him. It's Colton Hayes. We went

<v Speaker 1>to school together. You look amazing, Colon, I said, thoroughly shocked.

<v Speaker 1>High school Colon and adult Colon were not the same.

<v Speaker 1>High School Colon had been too tall and lean, with

<v Speaker 1>big feet in glasses. Adult Colton looked like Adonis had

<v Speaker 1>a baby with a model and added dimples just for

<v Speaker 1>good measure.

<v Speaker 4>Oh so he's hot, hot, he's sexy.

<v Speaker 5>Colt invites her to a little hangout session tonight and

<v Speaker 5>also tells her he heard she might be looking for

<v Speaker 5>some work from honey. He offers to introduce her to

<v Speaker 5>the owner of the bar, since he's the co owner

<v Speaker 5>and they're looking to hire. She tells him that she

<v Speaker 5>has a job. She just needs something to keep her

<v Speaker 5>mind busy while she's here, and she's taken some time off,

<v Speaker 5>but she'll think about the party tonight. The party's at six,

<v Speaker 5>and that gives her a couple hours to find a

<v Speaker 5>very hot outfit. She ends up wearing a sleeveless cherry

<v Speaker 5>red dress that looks stunning on her, and she feels

<v Speaker 5>confident as fuck. The evening is going surprisingly well, that

<v Speaker 5>is until Colton tells her that he sees the Boss

<v Speaker 5>and steers her in the direction that she needs to go.

<v Speaker 5>She's distracted by hearing her name being called by a

<v Speaker 5>familiar voice. She's unable to see who called her because

<v Speaker 5>when she turns back to look where she was walking,

<v Speaker 5>she runs into none other than Cameron Harlowe holding a

<v Speaker 5>tray full of shots that go crashing down her dress

<v Speaker 5>and onto the floor.

<v Speaker 1>Shit, it's the second dress he's ruined.

<v Speaker 3>It is.

<v Speaker 5>There's alcohol everywhere, glass everywhere, and due to the glasses

<v Speaker 5>falling all over her feet and ankles, there's now blood everywhere.

<v Speaker 1>If Halle Bentley were a rattlesnake instead of a gorgeous woman,

<v Speaker 1>I'd be a dead man. Hell, maybe I was a

<v Speaker 1>goner either way.

<v Speaker 5>Cameron's little brother, Sammy's trying to lighten the mood, but

<v Speaker 5>instead he ends up flirting away with Hallie and she's

<v Speaker 5>covered in alcohol and bleeding, and Cameron is not having it.

<v Speaker 1>I couldn't take it anymore. Without another word, I scooped

<v Speaker 1>up the girl who hated me more than the church

<v Speaker 1>ladies hated Satan. I moved toward the back of the house,

<v Speaker 1>taking her kicking and shouting through the doors.

<v Speaker 3>I'd be so fucking mad.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm very safe.

<v Speaker 3>Picks her up and carries her like a baby. Yeah,

<v Speaker 3>I'd be so mad.

<v Speaker 1>I would wrestle myself down to the ground.

<v Speaker 5>She's kicking and screaming, telling him to let her down,

<v Speaker 5>and he's like, whoa, take it easy. I just want

<v Speaker 5>to get you cleaned up. But internally he's like, what

<v Speaker 5>the fuck am I doing? Like I'm literally acting like

<v Speaker 5>a caveman right now. But he just can't help himself.

<v Speaker 5>He insists he wants to make sure that she's okay.

<v Speaker 5>She's like, I literally hate your guts, Like, get away

<v Speaker 5>from me.

<v Speaker 3>Tell him.

<v Speaker 5>He tells her if she doesn't stop fighting him, he's

<v Speaker 5>gonna call her grandma, and she's like, you wouldn't dare.

<v Speaker 3>Okay, isn't she an adult?

<v Speaker 1>I raised my gaze meeting hers. Her cheeks were flushed,

<v Speaker 1>her arms crossed but not covering her breasts, which I

<v Speaker 1>could see the outline of her nipples. God help me,

<v Speaker 1>I was going to hell. I cleared my throat. Are

<v Speaker 1>you cold? She stared at me, then looked down, shaking

<v Speaker 1>her head. Hate is too kind of a word for

<v Speaker 1>what I feel right now. Don't look at my boobs,

<v Speaker 1>you look cold your nippies.

<v Speaker 5>As he's raining in his horniness, he looks down at

<v Speaker 5>her bleeding ankles and asks her to sit one more

<v Speaker 5>and she follows his line of sight and pales and

<v Speaker 5>immediately obeys. He could tell she does not do well

<v Speaker 5>with blood, and she looks like she's about to kill

<v Speaker 5>over any minute. So he distracts her by bringing up

<v Speaker 5>the worst memory he could think of, and he's like, hey,

<v Speaker 5>remember when I poured beer all over you and like

<v Speaker 5>humiliated you in front of all of our high school classmates.

<v Speaker 3>He's like, did you think that was funny? Like I did.

<v Speaker 5>The distraction worked and brought her back to the present,

<v Speaker 5>and he told her that his brother Hunter beat the

<v Speaker 5>shit out of him that night for how he treated her,

<v Speaker 5>and he knows he deserved it. He's on his knees

<v Speaker 5>patching her up with band aids and grabbed her shoes

<v Speaker 5>and put her sandals back on.

<v Speaker 3>I looked up at her.

<v Speaker 1>If I were a good man, my clock wouldn't have

<v Speaker 1>hardened in my blue jeans from looking at her from

<v Speaker 1>this angle.

<v Speaker 3>But maybe I wasn't a good man.

<v Speaker 1>My zipper felt like it was about to burst, and

<v Speaker 1>I prayed she couldn't tell from where she was. I

<v Speaker 1>was on my knees in front of Halle Bentley, and

<v Speaker 1>she looks so mad she could spit. But I was

<v Speaker 1>so turned on that I felt like I could come

<v Speaker 1>just kneeling here.

<v Speaker 3>He's kind of commonage jeans.

<v Speaker 5>Hallie leaves, and after having a cock with his little

<v Speaker 5>brother Sammy, he decides Halle would be the right choice

<v Speaker 5>to hire for extra help.

<v Speaker 4>For the bar.

<v Speaker 5>It's been three days since the party where she ran

<v Speaker 5>into cam and Honey told her that today Sarah's boys

<v Speaker 5>are coming over so she can meet them. Sarah and

<v Speaker 5>David are having marital problems, but when Hallie tries to

<v Speaker 5>press what's going on, Honey says she can't say, but

<v Speaker 5>does say that David is the son of a bitch.

<v Speaker 5>While Halle and Honey are having a little heart to heart,

<v Speaker 5>there's a knock at the door and Honey.

<v Speaker 4>Goes to get it.

<v Speaker 5>She comes back with a Sacks Fifth Avenue gift bag

<v Speaker 5>and says Cam just dropped this off and says it's

<v Speaker 5>a truce offering. Inside the gift bag is a note

<v Speaker 5>that says second dress I've ruined.

<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry for both.

<v Speaker 5>I don't know how to make this up to you,

<v Speaker 5>but hopefully this can be the start Cam, And inside

<v Speaker 5>is a cherry red dress just like the one he

<v Speaker 5>ruined three nights ago, and another one a deep blue,

<v Speaker 5>the same color as the dress she wore fourteen years

<v Speaker 5>ago when he poured his beer down her at the party.

<v Speaker 1>Ah, that's cute, but also like, how do you know

<v Speaker 1>my size? Well, if you assume you get too big,

<v Speaker 1>you get too small.

<v Speaker 3>Either way, I'm offended. Fits like a glove, wonderful.

<v Speaker 2>He just clearly knows her. Okay, Riley, he has an

<v Speaker 2>eye for this.

<v Speaker 5>Cam is met with a very angry Hallie, slamming the

<v Speaker 5>gift bag on the counter, asking him what the fuck

<v Speaker 5>is this. He's like, girl, it's a gift. She's like,

<v Speaker 5>I don't want it, and he's like, donate it. Then

<v Speaker 5>it's a gift. They have an intense stare off and

<v Speaker 5>then suddenly there's tension and next thing.

<v Speaker 4>Kim knows he's blushing. He's like, what are we.

<v Speaker 5>Cam says that he's trying to make up for all

<v Speaker 5>the horrible things that he's done to her, and he

<v Speaker 5>would really like for her to work for him because

<v Speaker 5>they are struggling. She insists that he has to know

<v Speaker 5>that she's fine without him, and that she does have

<v Speaker 5>a full time job. She's like, just so you know,

<v Speaker 5>I'm not poor, like I don't need you, and he's like.

<v Speaker 1>Okay, He's like, chill, girl, but we need you.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but she does tell him, okay, fine, like I

<v Speaker 5>do need a job to keep my mind busy, and

<v Speaker 5>she like fucking hustles him. They settle on her working

<v Speaker 5>three days a week Wednesday, There's, says, Fridays from five

<v Speaker 5>to clothes making thirty dollars an hour.

<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, that's great.

<v Speaker 3>He was like, dang, that's a lot.

<v Speaker 1>And she's like take it or leave it, and he's

<v Speaker 1>like okay.

<v Speaker 5>She tells him that she is to get going because

<v Speaker 5>she's meeting her nephews for the first time tonight, and

<v Speaker 5>this makes his demeanor change. She asked what the hell

<v Speaker 5>is up with the secrecy about Sarah's life, but Cam

<v Speaker 5>insists that he can't get involved. What she doesn't know

<v Speaker 5>is that David, Sarah's husband, is banned from all the

<v Speaker 5>bars in Citrus Cove, and David has tried to get

<v Speaker 5>a restraining order on Cameron multiple times and that if

<v Speaker 5>he ever stepped foot on Cameron's property, he was a

<v Speaker 5>dead man, and Cameron.

<v Speaker 4>Really worries for Sarah.

<v Speaker 5>Hallie meets her nephews, Jake and Davy for the first time,

<v Speaker 5>and instead of Sarah dropping them off, her husband, David

<v Speaker 5>drops them off, and David is a drunk piece of shit.

<v Speaker 5>He immediately is rude to Halle and tells her no

<v Speaker 5>one wants her here and that she'll just be a

<v Speaker 5>bad influence on his sons. This man hates her guts

<v Speaker 5>for no fucking reason.

<v Speaker 1>They went to school together, they were acquaintances, and she's like, you.

<v Speaker 4>Don't even know me.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what the fuck? Fuck you, David.

<v Speaker 5>She takes the convo out front because it's getting very

<v Speaker 5>intense and she doesn't want her nephews to witness this because, like,

<v Speaker 5>she wants to know what this guy's problem is. As

<v Speaker 5>she gets closer, she immediately smells alcohol on him and

<v Speaker 5>asks if he's drunk. And of course he lashes out

<v Speaker 5>and tells her that she abandoned her family to be

<v Speaker 5>a worldly whore, and then he's like fuck you and

<v Speaker 5>stumbles back to his car.

<v Speaker 3>No fuck you.

<v Speaker 5>As he's walking away from her, a truck pulls up

<v Speaker 5>and it's Cam. David speeds off and Cameron walks up,

<v Speaker 5>making sure she's okay. He came just to drop off

<v Speaker 5>employment PaperWorks since he didn't have her number, and she's

<v Speaker 5>kind of taken back by what just happened, and Cameron

<v Speaker 5>tells her that a lot has changed since she's left

<v Speaker 5>and things aren't the best right now. She's kind of

<v Speaker 5>being put in the middle of everything. He invites her

<v Speaker 5>to a small get together at Colt House tomorrow night,

<v Speaker 5>and she gives him her number and tells him she'll

<v Speaker 5>think about it. And this is the first time that

<v Speaker 5>they give each other little nicknames for each other. And

<v Speaker 5>she says, see you tomorrow, Cam, and he says, see

<v Speaker 5>you how.

<v Speaker 3>Oh cute gut gimb.

<v Speaker 5>It's the next day and she gets to the party.

<v Speaker 5>It's nice, but a very intimate g together, and it's

<v Speaker 5>really awkward because everyone knows that Cameron traumatized her in

<v Speaker 5>school and she doesn't know how everyone's supposed to act like,

<v Speaker 5>is everyone supposed to act like it didn't just happen?

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that is so awkward just to be like hanging

<v Speaker 1>out with this guy that used to literally be the

<v Speaker 1>fucking worst to you. And everyone witnessed it there and

<v Speaker 1>they're just like, oh, so now.

<v Speaker 3>You guys are like hanging out.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and everyone's like, so are we going to bring

<v Speaker 5>this up? Or no, you know what, I would bring

<v Speaker 5>it up, get it out there, might as well talk

<v Speaker 5>about it. She tries to break the tension by getting

<v Speaker 5>up to go to the bathroom and he insists to

<v Speaker 5>follow her, and once inside, she has a very valid

<v Speaker 5>crash out and she's like, why did I even come here?

<v Speaker 5>Like this must look so pathetic that I'm like trying

<v Speaker 5>to be friends with you, And he tries telling her

<v Speaker 5>it's him who's pathetic. He's the one who is so

<v Speaker 5>awful to her. No one including him, thinks that of

<v Speaker 5>her at all. She never deserved the way that he

<v Speaker 5>treated her, and he will do anything to make it

<v Speaker 5>up to her. She looks at the cup of beer

<v Speaker 5>in her hand and then laughs, and he gets down

<v Speaker 5>on his knees and looks at her dead in the

<v Speaker 5>eyes and says pour it. She's like, no, I shouldn't, okay,

<v Speaker 5>and then dumps it straight over him.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I bet that felt great.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but also in my head, I'm like, girl, you're

<v Speaker 5>in someone else's.

<v Speaker 4>House, Like, take it outside.

<v Speaker 3>True.

<v Speaker 5>If I walcked into my house and someone is pouring

<v Speaker 5>I'd be like, girl, what the fuck? Get out. He

<v Speaker 5>tells her that he's gonna wear this beer for the

<v Speaker 5>rest of the night, like a badge of honor, and.

<v Speaker 4>She can't lie. It feels pretty good.

<v Speaker 5>It's the next day and she has her first training

<v Speaker 5>shift with Cam and she's wearing the blue dress he

<v Speaker 5>got her and she looks stunning in it. They decide

<v Speaker 5>to make a truce to start over. She can let

<v Speaker 5>everything from the past go if he can. They shook

<v Speaker 5>on it. So that's literally all it took.

<v Speaker 4>They're done. She just poured beer over him. He's like,

<v Speaker 4>we're friends now.

<v Speaker 1>He did get her two dresses that he did. He

<v Speaker 1>said sorry, he went to therapy, Jenna.

<v Speaker 3>His brother beat him up.

<v Speaker 4>True.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think the boy learned.

<v Speaker 5>With thirty minutes left of the shift, he starts closing

<v Speaker 5>down the bar and his sleeves are rolled up, and

<v Speaker 5>she knows there's an oak tree tattoo on his forearm

<v Speaker 5>and she's like, is this supposed to represent the Harlow legend?

<v Speaker 5>And he's like, oh, no, girl, it's not a legend.

<v Speaker 5>It's true. I can take you there one day if

<v Speaker 5>you And she's like, isn't that supposed to before the

<v Speaker 5>girl you're gonna marry? And he's like yep, and then

<v Speaker 5>just continues cleaning.

<v Speaker 3>What is this?

<v Speaker 5>There's a man sitting in the corner by himself and

<v Speaker 5>he calls her over, asking her to fill him a cider,

<v Speaker 5>but immediately there's something off about him. He asks her

<v Speaker 5>what her name is, and she tells him, and when

<v Speaker 5>she goes to put the drink down, he snatches out

<v Speaker 5>and grabs her wrists really quick. No, hey, let's go

<v Speaker 5>just as quickly and apologize and tells her that he's

<v Speaker 5>a jeweler and she has such small wrists. But she's

<v Speaker 5>still like super put off by him, and she's like,

<v Speaker 5>what's your name and he tells her it's Andy, and

<v Speaker 5>then slips her cash and walks away.

<v Speaker 1>It's that one guy, that one killer guy from back home,

<v Speaker 1>maybe but also maybe not, but also maybe m either.

<v Speaker 4>Way, he's fucking weird.

<v Speaker 3>He is a weirdo.

<v Speaker 5>Cam seesy exchange and rushes to her side. She insists

<v Speaker 5>she's fine and that guy was just hello weird, but

<v Speaker 5>he's like, no, if that ever happens again, you will

<v Speaker 5>let me know. As she tries to stand up for herself,

<v Speaker 5>her phone rings and it's her bestie Emma.

<v Speaker 4>In a panicked tone.

<v Speaker 5>Hallie walks out of the room to take the phone call,

<v Speaker 5>and that's when Emma drops the bomb that she went

<v Speaker 5>to Halle's apartment to grab some things to send her

<v Speaker 5>to Texas, but when she went in, her entire apartment

<v Speaker 5>has been ransacked and there's writing all over her walls.

<v Speaker 5>The police are there, and everything's a mess and someone.

<v Speaker 3>Is after her. No, that is so scary.

<v Speaker 5>Emma sent her a picture of the apartment the couch

<v Speaker 5>is gutted, everything is smashed and torn, and then send

<v Speaker 5>her a picture of the writing on the wall that said,

<v Speaker 5>whoor slut, I'm coming for you, bitch. It should have

<v Speaker 5>been you, You're next.

<v Speaker 3>I'd immediately shit a log in my pan.

<v Speaker 1>She's wearing your dress too, blog on the floor, it'd

<v Speaker 1>fall right out my thong. Cam's like actually, I'm not

<v Speaker 1>going to take you to that tree.

<v Speaker 3>That's gross.

<v Speaker 1>He's like, yeah, I'm not going to marry you.

<v Speaker 5>That's when her world came crashing in because what she

<v Speaker 5>didn't tell anyone that day out of fear or panic,

<v Speaker 5>was right before the murderer left that girl's apartment. He

<v Speaker 5>looked at her with such hate in his eyes and

<v Speaker 5>at you're next.

<v Speaker 3>Why wouldn't you tell anyone that?

<v Speaker 1>What?

<v Speaker 4>Because she's a dumb bitch. It's like the most important

<v Speaker 4>part of everything. And she's like, I'm gonna keep this

<v Speaker 4>to myself.

<v Speaker 1>I immediately would be like, cop cop, And he just

<v Speaker 1>said that to me, What are you gonna do?

<v Speaker 5>Cam shuts down the bar and as he's walking through

<v Speaker 5>the hallway, he sees Halle having a full blown mentbee

<v Speaker 5>and is like, what the fuck's going on? She's like

<v Speaker 5>sitting on the floor, like in the fetal position, rocking

<v Speaker 5>back and forth.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I would be too.

<v Speaker 5>He rushes over to her, pulling her in close to

<v Speaker 5>his chest, and she's like catatonic and sobbing, and he's

<v Speaker 5>trying to figure out what the hell's going on. He

<v Speaker 5>can hear shouting coming from her phone on the ground

<v Speaker 5>and He picks it up and it's Emma on the

<v Speaker 5>other line, demanding to know who the hell is talking

<v Speaker 5>to Halle right now. He tells her it's Cam and

<v Speaker 5>she's like, oh, hell, no, I know you did not

<v Speaker 5>just say Cameron fucking Harlowe on's my Bestie's okay, We're

<v Speaker 5>gonna have to have a talk. After Hallie talks to

<v Speaker 5>Emma again, Emma threatens Cam that if anything happens to

<v Speaker 5>Halle while Emma's not there, she swears she will grind

<v Speaker 5>his balls with a nutcracker.

<v Speaker 3>Oh.

<v Speaker 5>Once the call, Hallie asks to have a few more

<v Speaker 5>minutes to collect herself. Then she'll explain what's going on.

<v Speaker 5>But she just wants this kept a secret.

<v Speaker 1>Tell everyone, tell no one.

<v Speaker 3>I don't get it.

<v Speaker 5>He gets her water in a whiskey and then she

<v Speaker 5>tells him everything that happened up until the call today

<v Speaker 5>and showed him pictures on the wall. Her biggest fear

<v Speaker 5>right now is that this crazy person obviously broke into

<v Speaker 5>her apartment. He knows who she is, her family, everything

<v Speaker 5>about her, and that her being here is not safe

<v Speaker 5>for anyone. She needs to be gone by the morning,

<v Speaker 5>and he's like, are you crazy? Like if you leave,

<v Speaker 5>you're gonna be unprotected and alone.

<v Speaker 3>Like I will protect you.

<v Speaker 5>And she's like, wow, that sounds like you care about

<v Speaker 5>me and want me. And he's like, yeah, I do.

<v Speaker 1>I care about you. I whispered, it may be crazy.

<v Speaker 1>I may not have a single shot in hell with you,

<v Speaker 1>but I care how I care a lot, and I

<v Speaker 1>like you more than I should.

<v Speaker 3>She swallowed hard.

<v Speaker 1>Her gaze dancing was something I couldn't quite read. It

<v Speaker 1>is crazy, because if I didn't know any better, I'd say,

<v Speaker 1>you want me.

<v Speaker 3>I do want you.

<v Speaker 1>I want you like a garden wants a son. When

<v Speaker 1>I see you, I can't see anything else. I want

<v Speaker 1>you and no one else. Maybe I've always wanted you like.

<v Speaker 3>The garden wants the sun. Cute.

<v Speaker 1>But like I think if like Andrew said that to

<v Speaker 1>me in real life, I'd be like, where do you

<v Speaker 1>hear that?

<v Speaker 3>Yeah? There, you tell them to your boyfriend.

<v Speaker 5>They make a plan to go to the police station

<v Speaker 5>tomorrow and he's gonna do everything in his power to

<v Speaker 5>show her that he was meant for her. The next day,

<v Speaker 5>they get to the police station and she tells the

<v Speaker 5>sheriff that someone is after her.

<v Speaker 3>Finally, good, thank you.

<v Speaker 5>She gives him the rundown of the open case in Boston,

<v Speaker 5>but there's nothing to be done. There's no suspects, no leads,

<v Speaker 5>no evidence that connects her apartment break into the neighbor's murder,

<v Speaker 5>because at that time, she didn't say during the murder

<v Speaker 5>that that guy was like you're next.

<v Speaker 4>So they were like, must be a coincidence.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, okay, but like same building and it

<v Speaker 1>says I'm coming for you.

<v Speaker 3>Coincidence fucking cops.

<v Speaker 5>As they're on their way to the breakfast spot, Karen

<v Speaker 5>asks her out on an official date tomorrow for a

<v Speaker 5>little picnic and wine tasting, and she agrees. He says cool.

<v Speaker 5>One condition, let me drive your corvette. She says, fat

<v Speaker 5>chance in hell. Brother, You'll have to get on your

<v Speaker 5>knees and beg He quickly gets out of the passenger

<v Speaker 5>side of the car. Once they pull up to Citrus

<v Speaker 5>Cove Cafe, She's worried she said something wrong, and that

<v Speaker 5>is until her driver door is flung open.

<v Speaker 1>Cam took a step back and I watched as he

<v Speaker 1>lowered himself, his blue jean covered knees hitting the gravel.

<v Speaker 3>Cam.

<v Speaker 1>I hissed on my knees, Sunshine, I'm begging you to

<v Speaker 1>let me take you on a picnic and spoil you,

<v Speaker 1>and for you to let me take a ride in

<v Speaker 1>that corvette.

<v Speaker 3>Oh, let the man drive.

<v Speaker 5>They have a moment and are about to smooch when

<v Speaker 5>Sarah's husband, David ruins it by asking him what the

<v Speaker 5>hell he's doing here and that he must be stalking him.

<v Speaker 4>Because he's a weirdo. He's like, what are you doing here, weirdo?

<v Speaker 4>Are you stalking me?

<v Speaker 3>As he's up the town cafe.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Hallie's taken back because her sister's standing next to David,

<v Speaker 5>looking pale and tired but alive, and this is the

<v Speaker 5>first time she's seen her sister. Hallie steps forward to

<v Speaker 5>talk to her sister, but Sarah tells her she's not

<v Speaker 5>interested in what she has to say and she wants

<v Speaker 5>nothing to do with her Sarah. David slings an arm

<v Speaker 5>around Sarah's shoulder and agrees with her, and Sarah stiffens,

<v Speaker 5>and then they leave together. But Hallie's immediately worried for

<v Speaker 5>her sister, and Cameron agrees as something is wrong, only

<v Speaker 5>he doesn't know what. He's tried to help, and that's

<v Speaker 5>what started all the fights between him and David, but

<v Speaker 5>he just can't get through to Sarah.

<v Speaker 1>They have breakfast at the diner together, and while he's

<v Speaker 1>looking at her, he starts to get hard just thinking

<v Speaker 1>about what it would be like.

<v Speaker 3>To fuck her.

<v Speaker 1>She notices and tells him that she wants him to,

<v Speaker 1>and he says, how about After they eat they go

<v Speaker 1>back to his place to get her mind off of things,

<v Speaker 1>and she says she's down. They talk a little bit

<v Speaker 1>about their favorite things and their life goals, and then

<v Speaker 1>she asks him what he likes in bed. I love spanking.

<v Speaker 1>I love playing with things like blindfolds, handcuffs, any sort

<v Speaker 1>of restraint, and I've taken classes on how to do

<v Speaker 1>it properly so no one is harmed. I enjoy fucking outside.

<v Speaker 1>The idea of taking you tomorrow at our picnic is

<v Speaker 1>going to keep me up tonight. And I love eating pussy.

<v Speaker 1>I fucking love it. I die between a woman's size happily.

<v Speaker 1>Her mouth fell open, her cheeks turning bright pink. Fuck,

<v Speaker 1>she whispered. I didn't think think what that a country

<v Speaker 1>boy could be kinky?

<v Speaker 5>Oh my god, imagine just like having that conversation as

<v Speaker 5>you're like munching on bacon in the same he took classes.

<v Speaker 3>He's very serious about this.

<v Speaker 1>He's like, just you know, I love spanking, I love

<v Speaker 1>playing with things like blindfolds.

<v Speaker 3>I love eating pussy.

<v Speaker 4>You know, I might be a little bit of a dominant.

<v Speaker 4>I don't know my videas test. This is high possibility.

<v Speaker 3>He has me to catch up.

<v Speaker 1>He tells her he'll have her begging for his cock

<v Speaker 1>like a good girl if she wants. Then he asks

<v Speaker 1>what she likes, and she says she likes hair pulling

<v Speaker 1>and getting spanked. She's intrigued about the outdoor stuff too,

<v Speaker 1>and Cam says they better get out of here before

<v Speaker 1>someone notices how hard he is.

<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, that happens so quickly.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she was just like verbally assaulted in the parking lot.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>As soon as they get in his truck, she asks

<v Speaker 1>if she can touch him. He says hell yeah, and

<v Speaker 1>tells her he's been tested and he's negative for everything.

<v Speaker 1>She gives him a little road head and he says

<v Speaker 1>if she keeps it up, he's gonna lose control and.

<v Speaker 3>Face fuck her. Oh my god, he's a dom. He's

<v Speaker 3>a daddy dom. Yeah, he is.

<v Speaker 1>They pull over in a secluded area and he tells

<v Speaker 1>her to touch herself and she is positively soaked.

<v Speaker 3>Yes, she is.

<v Speaker 1>He grabs a blanket and puts it in the truck bed.

<v Speaker 1>They get in and he starts feasting on her. She comes,

<v Speaker 1>and then he tells her he has condoms, but she

<v Speaker 1>wants it raw.

<v Speaker 3>Oh, raw dog the first time. Yeah, he told her

<v Speaker 3>he got tested. Oh yeah, that's true.

<v Speaker 1>She climbs on him and they fuck until she comes.

<v Speaker 1>I'm so close, he wrasps, you feel so good. I

<v Speaker 1>want you to fill me. I whimpered. I am Sunshine.

<v Speaker 1>You're gonna take every fucking drop. I don't know why,

<v Speaker 1>but they like the nickname Sunshine. Not for me, not

<v Speaker 1>for me, not even.

<v Speaker 3>From a country boy, a country bumpkin.

<v Speaker 1>Just like in a sexual sense.

<v Speaker 3>No, not at all. I am Sunshine.

<v Speaker 1>You're gonna get a fucking drop up.

<v Speaker 5>No.

<v Speaker 1>When they're done, he tells her he's crazy about her.

<v Speaker 3>He chuckled and planted a kiss on me.

<v Speaker 1>He slowly began to pull out, leaning back and looking

<v Speaker 1>at his cumb dripping out of me, he let out

<v Speaker 1>a soft moan, reaching between my legs. I gasped as

<v Speaker 1>he pushed it back in. He had this look on

<v Speaker 1>his face, a possessive one, what I'd never seen before.

<v Speaker 1>The sun dappled his tan skin, his gaze searing me

<v Speaker 1>as he pushed more of his cum back inside of me.

<v Speaker 3>They do lump the zula. He's an alpha. He tells her.

<v Speaker 1>He's touched himself thinking about her, and he feels horrible

<v Speaker 1>for the way he treated her. He's gonna make it

<v Speaker 1>up to her by worshiping her, and now they need

<v Speaker 1>to get back to his place because he hasn't done

<v Speaker 1>with her yet. But when they get there, his brother

<v Speaker 1>Hunter is home. They walk inside holding hands and Hunter

<v Speaker 1>is shook, but invites it two of them to family

<v Speaker 1>dinner tonight. He says he has some questions for Halle

<v Speaker 1>because he heard about her visit to the station earlier.

<v Speaker 1>Hallie heads upstairs to take a shower, and when the

<v Speaker 1>boys are alone, Hunter throws a punch and misses, asking

<v Speaker 1>Cam what the fuck he's doing because remember Hunter beat

<v Speaker 1>the shit out of him for bullying Halle in high school.

<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Cam tells Hunter he's grown up since they

<v Speaker 1>were kids and he has no other intention aside from

<v Speaker 1>protecting Hallie. Also, he's taking a few days off of work,

<v Speaker 1>Hunter gets in his truck and leaves, so Cam joins

<v Speaker 1>Halle in the shower and finger.

<v Speaker 3>Blasts her a little bit oh sligh.

<v Speaker 1>After she comes, he tells her they're going to order

<v Speaker 1>pizza and snuggle, and he's a big snuggler in this book,

<v Speaker 1>like after everything, he wants a snuggle cute. A few

<v Speaker 1>days past and they're basically inseparable. Honey catches on and

<v Speaker 1>is like, I hope this thing with Cam means you're

<v Speaker 1>staying forever. She says maybe, and then asks about her sister.

<v Speaker 1>Honey says that she doesn't know exactly what's going on,

<v Speaker 1>but she knows it has to do with David and

<v Speaker 1>she doesn't want to rock the boat. Hallie gets Sarah's

<v Speaker 1>address and decides to head over, but Cam and tells

<v Speaker 1>him what she's doing and they'll meet later to debrief.

<v Speaker 1>He says, okay, and he's going to have a picnic ready.

<v Speaker 1>She stops at the gas station they get some pepsis,

<v Speaker 1>and is stunned when she sees David. But this man

<v Speaker 1>is dressed differently and he's driving a small electric car,

<v Speaker 1>so it couldn't be David.

<v Speaker 3>What the fuck doppelganger.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but like I would automatically assume that was David

<v Speaker 1>just because he's wearing like a suit and an electric car.

<v Speaker 1>She's like, it can't be him, it's just a stoppelganger.

<v Speaker 1>Surely it's not him.

<v Speaker 3>No, i'ds it.

<v Speaker 1>What are you doing in a suit in an electric car?

<v Speaker 1>She gets to Sarah's a Knox. Sarah tries to tell

<v Speaker 1>her to leave, but Holly asks if David is hitting her.

<v Speaker 1>Sarah says no, nothing is physical. They decide to meet

<v Speaker 1>at Sarah's work at ten pm tonight and then they

<v Speaker 1>can talk, but not here because it's not safe. Hallie

<v Speaker 1>gets in her car to go meet Cam and looks

<v Speaker 1>at her phone. She has a text from an unknown

<v Speaker 1>number that just says you're next.

<v Speaker 4>Stop it, leave me alone.

<v Speaker 3>Oh don't.

<v Speaker 1>She's panicking, and then she sees there's a pick coming

<v Speaker 1>through from the same anonymous number and decides she'll open

<v Speaker 1>it when she's with Cam. She races to his house

<v Speaker 1>and he's already waiting for her. He sees her face

<v Speaker 1>and scoops her up while she falls apart, and calms

<v Speaker 1>her down by singing you are my sunshine to her,

<v Speaker 1>Oh my God, God, that'd be my fucking breaking point.

<v Speaker 4>You in a country accident.

<v Speaker 1>Riley, you are my sunshine, only sunshine.

<v Speaker 5>You like me.

<v Speaker 3>These guys are gray.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, boom soaked.

<v Speaker 3>That would make me cry harder. Stop doing that. I'd

<v Speaker 3>be like, you're a bury sing me.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah. They look at the phone together and the pictures

<v Speaker 1>of her and Cam sitting together at the diner, so

<v Speaker 1>he found her the mystery man. That night, they have

<v Speaker 1>a video call with Hunter, Colt, Emma, and Sammy. So

<v Speaker 1>Emma's in on the se and against now like she

<v Speaker 1>wants in. She wants to tea. Okay, she's part of

<v Speaker 1>the gang now. Hunter has a friend at the station

<v Speaker 1>that pulled some strings to get some more information, and

<v Speaker 1>they all decide that Hollie cannot be left alone whatsoever.

<v Speaker 1>A thunderstorm starts, but Holle still has to meet Sarah

<v Speaker 1>in a few hours, so her and Cam sit on

<v Speaker 1>the porch to watch the rain. They haven't had a

<v Speaker 1>chance to fuck at all today, and Halle says she

<v Speaker 1>needs it now, and she needs it rough, Hallie, you

<v Speaker 1>have a murderer coming after you.

<v Speaker 3>That's why she needs it. Rough.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I want you to spank me. Restrain me, blindfold me.

<v Speaker 1>I want you to make me come so hard I

<v Speaker 1>feel like I'm dying. I want you to use me

<v Speaker 1>over and over again. Cam, I need you. He ran

<v Speaker 1>his thumb over my cheek, stroking my chin. His eyes

<v Speaker 1>reflected the storm around us, his cock throbbing against me.

<v Speaker 1>You want to be my good girl, he whispered. A

<v Speaker 1>silent thrill ran through me. Yes, more than anything.

<v Speaker 3>Okay.

<v Speaker 1>He tells her to bend over the porch swing and

<v Speaker 1>spread her legs. He rips her dress clean off and

<v Speaker 1>uses it as a blindfold. So third dressed down at

<v Speaker 1>this point.

<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, so many dresses.

<v Speaker 1>Then he takes off his pants, pulls his dick out,

<v Speaker 1>and spanks her with it. He pulls her hair, spanks her,

<v Speaker 1>and then slides his fingers into her. Then he slides

<v Speaker 1>his dick in and fucks her until they both come.

<v Speaker 1>He flips her around to sit on him on the

<v Speaker 1>swing without pulling out. He starts rubbing her clit, and

<v Speaker 1>now he's getting hard again while he tells her how

<v Speaker 1>bad he's always wanted her. They both come again, and

<v Speaker 1>he suggests a shower and a snuggle before they go

<v Speaker 1>see her sister. When she meets up with Sarah. She's

<v Speaker 1>met with a big, giant hug, and she tells Hollie

<v Speaker 1>how sorry she is and how much she'd miss her.

<v Speaker 1>Sarah talks about David, who doesn't hit her, but throws

<v Speaker 1>things and yells and is financially abusive so she can't leave.

<v Speaker 1>Halle says she'll help with money so she can leave

<v Speaker 1>with the boys, and then tells Sarah about Cam and

<v Speaker 1>how she's falling in love with him. They decide to

<v Speaker 1>get Sarah a burn her phone that David can't look

<v Speaker 1>through and they'll make their plan. They decide to meet

<v Speaker 1>again and few days A couple days past and Cam

<v Speaker 1>has a picnic set up for Hallie. He brings her

<v Speaker 1>to the family oak tree with the initials on it.

<v Speaker 1>He wants to tell her that he loves her, but

<v Speaker 1>he fumbles and just tells her how beautiful she is instead.

<v Speaker 1>They drink wine and eat grapes and cheese and freshly

<v Speaker 1>baked rosemary sour tough. And I was reading this and

<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my god, this sounds so fucking good.

<v Speaker 3>That sounds so.

<v Speaker 1>Fuck I love justy grapes and cheese moment, Oh sour,

<v Speaker 1>fresh sour no, Oh my god. Things start getting lusty,

<v Speaker 1>and she pours wine all over her dress so he

<v Speaker 1>can lick it off.

<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, forth dress.

<v Speaker 2>But that was her own doing.

<v Speaker 4>It was.

<v Speaker 3>He rips it off of her.

<v Speaker 1>That was his fault and asks if he can spank

<v Speaker 1>her with his belt, and she says, hell, yeah you can,

<v Speaker 1>Cameron Harlowe, I need you to fuck my pussy and

<v Speaker 1>breed me like I'm your own personal slut. I want

<v Speaker 1>you to spank me so that when I sit at

<v Speaker 1>Honey's table in the morning, I know that ache is.

<v Speaker 3>Because of you. I need you to fuck me, fuck.

<v Speaker 1>Her, Cam, I want to sit across from my grandma

<v Speaker 1>and think about how you fucked me.

<v Speaker 3>I want my ass to her.

<v Speaker 1>He starts whacking her and she's dripping as he tells

<v Speaker 1>her what a good girl she is. He slides a

<v Speaker 1>finger in her and tells her to taste herself. He

<v Speaker 1>kissed my ass cheeks. His touch reminded me of the

<v Speaker 1>marks the belt left. The pain made me moan all

<v Speaker 1>while I sucked my juices off his finger. I'm going

<v Speaker 1>to fuck you, he whispered, Keep sucking. The anticipation was

<v Speaker 1>killing me. I kept sucking as he moved closer behind me,

<v Speaker 1>his cock slapping against my pussy. He pulled his finger

<v Speaker 1>free and gripped my hips.

<v Speaker 3>Are you ready, baby girl?

<v Speaker 1>Or you lost?

<v Speaker 3>Baby girl?

<v Speaker 1>He slams into her and puts a thumb in her butt,

<v Speaker 1>asking if she's ever been fucked here before. She says no,

<v Speaker 1>and he asks if she wants to, and she says yes.

<v Speaker 1>So he whips out a bottle of lube from the

<v Speaker 1>picnic basket and starts fingering her butt while he fucks her.

<v Speaker 1>He packed the lube with the snacks. What a king prepared,

<v Speaker 1>making me so well, baby, He murmured, soon you'll be

<v Speaker 1>taking my cock here too. I should get us a

<v Speaker 1>toy to use. I shivered pleasure rolling through me. I'm

<v Speaker 1>so close, I rest, I know, Sunshine, I can feel

<v Speaker 1>you milking my cock, my desperate little whore, okay, whoa, I.

<v Speaker 5>Just don't know how I would feel, you know, Drry

<v Speaker 5>talk aside that was still her school bully. I think

<v Speaker 5>that would make me spiral. I think that would bring

<v Speaker 5>me back.

<v Speaker 1>He's like, you little fucking orphan slut. The word desperate.

<v Speaker 3>I'm like, what careful? No, I'm not.

<v Speaker 1>He comes, She comes, and then he tells her one

<v Speaker 1>day he will be marrying her. He cleans her off

<v Speaker 1>and feeds her chocolate, and then she asks if he's

<v Speaker 1>heard of CNC. He says yeah, and she says she

<v Speaker 1>wants to try it with him soon, and he's down

<v Speaker 1>as hell.

<v Speaker 3>Oh, you kinky people.

<v Speaker 1>They head back to his place, where she secretly publishes

<v Speaker 1>an article she's been working on about his winery. They

<v Speaker 1>relax a little and head over to the winery to

<v Speaker 1>get a drink, but it's packed because her art was

<v Speaker 1>a hit, and now they have to jump in to

<v Speaker 1>help Hunter and Colt because they're drowning because she's so popular.

<v Speaker 1>She published it in Boom the whole country rushed over.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah who.

<v Speaker 1>They work together to bust everything out, and at the

<v Speaker 1>end of the night, Halle and Cam are canoodling. When

<v Speaker 1>Cam walks away, Halle is approached by the creepy jeweler Andy,

<v Speaker 1>who demands Halle's number. She refuses, and he tells her

<v Speaker 1>she's such a stuck up whoorror so he doesn't understand

<v Speaker 1>why she'd want some country bumpkin over him, and he

<v Speaker 1>really knows how to speak to a woman. Yeah, what

<v Speaker 1>if she was like, Okay, you're.

<v Speaker 3>Right, Yeah, you got me. Here's my number. Also, I

<v Speaker 3>have a fucking theory. Listen to it.

<v Speaker 1>So that guy they saw earlier, you know, they think

<v Speaker 1>it's Devad the electric car, and like, what was what

<v Speaker 1>else was different about him?

<v Speaker 3>A suit?

<v Speaker 1>I think David traveled to the city. This is probably

<v Speaker 1>so stupid now that I'm saying it. Actually, but David

<v Speaker 1>was the killer guy in the apartment versus Andy, possibly, I.

<v Speaker 3>Don't know actually, or maybe they're in cahoots.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, maybe they're in koots. Maybe m Andy starts getting

<v Speaker 1>really gross with it, and then all of a sudden

<v Speaker 1>he's got Cam's fist to his face. Cam tells him

<v Speaker 1>to get the fuck out of his bar, and Andy

<v Speaker 1>is like, I've been reading her article. She's not even

<v Speaker 1>a good writer. Then he walks out and a woman

<v Speaker 1>tells Hallie that Cam is a keeper. So the whole

<v Speaker 1>bar saw this, and this random woman was like, hell, yeah, okay, girl.

<v Speaker 3>Also, fuck you don't say that about my articles. I

<v Speaker 3>did this. I did this. She's rich. Who gives a fuck?

<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, true.

<v Speaker 1>They take a break together and Hallie tells Cam she

<v Speaker 1>wonders if maybe Andy's the killer. He says he'll protect

<v Speaker 1>her no matter what, and she tells him she needs

<v Speaker 1>him now. He says he's too pissed to be gentle,

<v Speaker 1>and she says that's fine. When he goes to slide in,

<v Speaker 1>she's like, no, don't fuck me. And now he knows

<v Speaker 1>what her angle is, so he's like, oh, I'm gonna

<v Speaker 1>fuck you all right.

<v Speaker 3>So she's like no, don't.

<v Speaker 1>Stop, and he's like, uh, okay, okay. They get into

<v Speaker 1>a struggle and as he rips her panties off, she's like,

<v Speaker 1>get off me, you bully, But then he just spits

<v Speaker 1>in her mouth and tells her to swallow it. She

<v Speaker 1>spits it back in his face, so he grabs her hair,

<v Speaker 1>flips her around and tells her now she's done it.

<v Speaker 1>He fucks her all crazy, and when they both come

<v Speaker 1>she tells him.

<v Speaker 2>That's just what she needed, all right, She just needed

<v Speaker 2>a little sancy.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and near death experiences just gets this girl fucking

<v Speaker 4>horny as shit.

<v Speaker 3>Uh huh.

<v Speaker 1>She's like, ah, got I'm alive. She says she'll meet

<v Speaker 1>him out at the car. When she gets to her corvette,

<v Speaker 1>her windows are broken and it's been keyed with whoor bitch,

<v Speaker 1>your next slut. Also side note, there's a dead woman

<v Speaker 1>with her throat slit in the front seat and it's

<v Speaker 1>the woman that told her Cam was a keeper earlier.

<v Speaker 3>Dead. Oh my god, Yeah, what the fuck?

<v Speaker 1>Okay, maybe it is Athy, she screams, and Cam comes running.

<v Speaker 1>He calls the cops immediately. She gets a text from

<v Speaker 1>the unknown number that says, did you like my gift?

<v Speaker 1>It should have been you?

<v Speaker 3>But like, then make it be me.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're saying a lot of stuff, do it. The

<v Speaker 1>cops show up, they answer questions. Cam is asked about

<v Speaker 1>the fight earlier, but Holle tells the cops she doesn't

<v Speaker 1>think this was Andy. They head home for the night

<v Speaker 1>before more questioning in the morning, and Holle tells Cam

<v Speaker 1>this is too much. She's leaving town before someone else dies.

<v Speaker 1>The next day, after more questioning at the station, there

<v Speaker 1>are no leads, no camera footage, and no trace of Andy.

<v Speaker 1>She heads to the cafe with Colt while Cam does

<v Speaker 1>some stuff and Colt tells her that he's by which

<v Speaker 1>is so fun yeah, which comes up in the next book.

<v Speaker 1>The next book is mmf ooh yeah, I think it's

<v Speaker 1>Colt in the Hunter and Emma, maybe I will be reading.

<v Speaker 1>They see Sarah working, even though she usually doesn't come

<v Speaker 1>in this early. She asks Colt about the David Doppelginger,

<v Speaker 1>but he doesn't know anything about it. They're eating and

<v Speaker 1>chit chatting when none other than David walks in. He

<v Speaker 1>goes right up to them and accuses her of sleeping

<v Speaker 1>with Colt, and Colt tells him to walk away because he's.

<v Speaker 3>Like, oh, you're eating lunch with a man. You're fucking him,

<v Speaker 3>aren't you?

<v Speaker 1>You slut typical, So Colt tells him to walk away,

<v Speaker 1>and David is like, or what, You're going to sleep

<v Speaker 1>with my whore wife? And then he tells Halle that

<v Speaker 1>he heard the dead woman should have been her. Colt

<v Speaker 1>lunges for David, who looks at Halle with pure hatred

<v Speaker 1>in his eyes and tells her this is all her fault.

<v Speaker 1>David grabs Halle by the hair and slams her to

<v Speaker 1>the ground and kicks her in the ribs. Sarah runs out,

<v Speaker 1>and her and Colt grab David off of her. Colt

<v Speaker 1>pins him to the ground, and Sarah runs to Halle

<v Speaker 1>and tells her she's so so sorry, and Halle's like,

<v Speaker 1>I'm buying you a house tomorrow and then she passes out.

<v Speaker 1>Oh my God, but also amazing sister.

<v Speaker 2>When Cameron arrives at the hospital, he sees David handcuffed

<v Speaker 2>to a chair and he wants to beat his ass,

<v Speaker 2>but Colt stops him, telling him that Halle needs him

<v Speaker 2>right now. Sarah intercepts Cam, apologizing, and Colt tells her

<v Speaker 2>that they'll get her and the kids out of this situation,

<v Speaker 2>and then Cam goes to Halle. He falls to his

<v Speaker 2>knees with tears in his eyes, apologizing for not being

<v Speaker 2>there for her. She tells them that David would have

<v Speaker 2>done it no matter what, but she wants to focus

<v Speaker 2>her energy on getting her sister and nephews away from him.

<v Speaker 2>He tells her that they can move in with Honey

<v Speaker 2>and she can move in with him, so that's their

<v Speaker 2>new plan, on top of figuring out who.

<v Speaker 3>The murderer is.

<v Speaker 2>Just as they are about to leave, though, David walks

<v Speaker 2>out with the sheriff. Cameron approaches and they tell him

<v Speaker 2>Halle didn't press any charges, per Sarah's requests, but they

<v Speaker 2>have it handled. When they get to Cam's house, she

<v Speaker 2>tells them that she didn't press charges because she wants

<v Speaker 2>him to leave them alone and not make anyone else's

<v Speaker 2>lives more awful. Once inside, she tells them that she

<v Speaker 2>wants him, and he says, not while you're injured. She

<v Speaker 2>says that she won't be doing anything. She's just gonna

<v Speaker 2>lay back and enjoy the show.

<v Speaker 3>She's like, no, no, I want you to do all

<v Speaker 3>the work.

<v Speaker 2>He pulls up a chair and undresses himself before slowly

<v Speaker 2>jerking off, and she calls all the shots.

<v Speaker 1>The moment you feel better, I promise that we're gonna

<v Speaker 1>do every fucking thing that you can think of, including

<v Speaker 1>me fucking your throat until you can't breathe and you

<v Speaker 1>beg for me to stop. Is that a promise, I asked,

<v Speaker 1>Cam chuckled and straightened, stroking his cock only a few

<v Speaker 1>inches from my face. Yes, baby, it's a promise. Now

<v Speaker 1>spit on it.

<v Speaker 2>He starts jerking off in front of her, and then

<v Speaker 2>he asks her for a pillow.

<v Speaker 1>I slowly reached back, grabbing a pillow and tossing it

<v Speaker 1>at him. He caught it, bending it so that he

<v Speaker 1>could thrust his cock into it. I sucked in a

<v Speaker 1>breath as I watched him, realizing this was one of

<v Speaker 1>the most erotic things I'd ever seen in my entire life.

<v Speaker 1>He was fucking a pillow, his eyes still fixated on me,

<v Speaker 1>never leaving me, as he groaned over and over. He

<v Speaker 1>cursed under his breath, his head falling back. He's just

<v Speaker 1>fucking a pillow, Jay from big mouth j Gilsarian and

<v Speaker 1>his fuck pillow. I mean at it sometimes those pillows

<v Speaker 1>they'd be talking to you, yo.

<v Speaker 3>I've never fucked a pillow in my life me either.

<v Speaker 3>I think I've said I like have humped a pillow. Yeah,

<v Speaker 3>it's a great time been they've done that.

<v Speaker 4>Girl, Give it a try, Charlotte, don't knock it to you.

<v Speaker 3>Try girl, Come on, tellby hump a pillow. I don't

<v Speaker 3>fuck my pillow. I rest my weary head upon it

<v Speaker 3>every night.

<v Speaker 1>Well not your head pillow, not your like bear vagina either. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>you keep your clothes on and find a different pillow,

<v Speaker 1>specifically a fuck pillow.

<v Speaker 3>It sounds like too much work.

<v Speaker 2>He comes everywhere and then uses a finger to pick

<v Speaker 2>him up and licks it off. Then he demands that

<v Speaker 2>she opens her mouth, and then he spits his own

<v Speaker 2>come into it, and he tells her to swallow, and

<v Speaker 2>I put.

<v Speaker 3>Is that hot?

<v Speaker 2>I think it's I think it's hot.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm gonna ask Andrew to do it.

<v Speaker 5>Greg has such a to the stomach I fear he

<v Speaker 5>would gag and then that would ruin it.

<v Speaker 3>He just vomits into your mouth. Yeah.

<v Speaker 2>He gets dressed and goes to get them food and

<v Speaker 2>her medicine. She can't believe that she's about to build

<v Speaker 2>a new life with Cam, and she's really happy about it.

<v Speaker 2>The next morning, he leaves Halle sleeping and puts a

<v Speaker 2>note on the bed letting her know that he's gonna

<v Speaker 2>go to his family meeting. He lets him know at

<v Speaker 2>breakfast that he is in love with Halle and plans

<v Speaker 2>on marrying her.

<v Speaker 3>He also hopes that.

<v Speaker 2>She plans to stay in Citrus Cove because if not,

<v Speaker 2>he is going to move away to wherever she wants

<v Speaker 2>to go, and pretty much his whole family is like, okay, cool,

<v Speaker 2>you're thirty two.

<v Speaker 1>Go.

<v Speaker 2>They finished breakfast and then he goes to Colts. Before

<v Speaker 2>heading home, he interrupts Colt's little session with the guy,

<v Speaker 2>but Colt isn't mad, and he lets Colt know that

<v Speaker 2>if Hallie wants him to move, he will move because

<v Speaker 2>he wants to marry her and He's like, okay, let

<v Speaker 2>me go get dressed. We'll get your engagement ring. It's

<v Speaker 2>a week later and they move Sarah and the boys

<v Speaker 2>out of the house and into the new home that

<v Speaker 2>Hallie bought them. When Cam grabs the last box from

<v Speaker 2>her and David's old house, he smells something really weird

<v Speaker 2>and follows it until it leads to a basement door.

<v Speaker 2>Hallie calls them back to the front and they agree

<v Speaker 2>that it's probably just a dead mouse or something down there.

<v Speaker 2>It's never just a dead mouse.

<v Speaker 1>No.

<v Speaker 2>They leave to go take the boxes, but she's tired

<v Speaker 2>of healing and unzips his pants while he's driving. She

<v Speaker 2>gives them another blowing until he comes, and then they

<v Speaker 2>pull up at Sarah's new house to unload all of

<v Speaker 2>the boxes. Once they're done unpacking, it's late and they

<v Speaker 2>go back to their house.

<v Speaker 1>I want you on our bed with your thighs spread.

<v Speaker 1>I want you to get the lube and work it

<v Speaker 1>into your pussy and ask for me.

<v Speaker 3>I have a surprise for you.

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna bload it in yours.

<v Speaker 2>She goes inside and he gives her a minute to

<v Speaker 2>do as he said as he locks the house up

<v Speaker 2>and grabs the freshly cleaned and prepped toys that he

<v Speaker 2>bought for them. He goes upstairs and sees that she listened,

<v Speaker 2>and then he checks in with her to make sure

<v Speaker 2>her ribs are okay. She says yes, and she will

<v Speaker 2>tell him if anything is too much. He tells her

<v Speaker 2>to turn over, and then he gives her her new

<v Speaker 2>butt plug and puts it in. Then he tortures her

<v Speaker 2>with the new vibrator until she's begging for him. He

<v Speaker 2>makes her come three more times before he finally undresses

<v Speaker 2>and gives her what she wants. He fucks her heart

<v Speaker 2>until she comes.

<v Speaker 3>I didn't stop.

<v Speaker 1>I kept fucking her all the way through her orgasm,

<v Speaker 1>going until I felt myself getting closer. Fill me, she moaned.

<v Speaker 1>I want you to breed me like your own little slut.

<v Speaker 1>She does love to say that, you little slut.

<v Speaker 2>He finishes, and then they clean up and go to bed.

<v Speaker 2>He wakes up early the next morning and lets her

<v Speaker 2>know that he's going to go to the winery because

<v Speaker 2>he feels like he missed something very important and wants to.

<v Speaker 4>Check it out.

<v Speaker 2>After searching the property and checking the security footage for

<v Speaker 2>the hundredth time, still no clues. He sits at his

<v Speaker 2>desk and thinks about everything going on, and then he

<v Speaker 2>smells smoke. He gets up and walks out of his

<v Speaker 2>office to see his winery is on fire. Arson he

<v Speaker 2>shoots a text a hunter to have him called nine

<v Speaker 2>one one.

<v Speaker 3>Sir, you called nine one one.

<v Speaker 2>He has a plan. He has a plan. He runs

<v Speaker 2>to his car, hiding because he knows that whoever just

<v Speaker 2>did this still has to be here. He hears boots

<v Speaker 2>on gravel and as soon as they're about to pass

<v Speaker 2>his vehicle, he jumps up and grabs them. It's Andy,

<v Speaker 2>and he demands to know if he killed the woman

<v Speaker 2>in the car the other night, and Andy says no,

<v Speaker 2>but he will kill Cameron.

<v Speaker 3>What the fuck?

<v Speaker 2>They fight, and Cameron feels a sharp pain in his side,

<v Speaker 2>seeing that he's been stabbed. Siren's approach and Andy tells

<v Speaker 2>him that he's lucky and takes off running. Sammy and

<v Speaker 2>his mom stand over him, asking what the fuck just happened,

<v Speaker 2>and he tells them that Andy stabbed him, and then

<v Speaker 2>he passes out. Hollie storms into the hospital and when

<v Speaker 2>she sees the sheriff, she unleashes fury. He tells her

<v Speaker 2>that they got Andy and they'll talk to her in

<v Speaker 2>a little bit. Cameron's okay, but he lost a lot

<v Speaker 2>of blood.

<v Speaker 3>She hugs his.

<v Speaker 2>Mom and then they go to his room. Her and

<v Speaker 2>Cameron professor undying love to one another, and then the

<v Speaker 2>sheriff comes in. Andy admitted to killing the woman in

<v Speaker 2>her corvette, but has never been to Boston. The first

<v Speaker 2>night at the bar Hallie turned him down is when

<v Speaker 2>his obsession with her started. They also receive security footage

<v Speaker 2>from Boston, so they're hoping to confirm that he is

<v Speaker 2>tied to that soon. The next day, they discharge Cam

<v Speaker 2>and they go home. She checks in with her sister

<v Speaker 2>and learns that David still hasn't found their new address,

<v Speaker 2>but he's also been gone for work for a whole week.

<v Speaker 3>Gone for work, you say.

<v Speaker 2>He's a traveling insurance agent and is out of town frequently.

<v Speaker 2>She goes to nurse Cameron back to health at their

<v Speaker 2>home and tells him that she wants to stay in

<v Speaker 2>Citrus Cove, but they agree that they both need a

<v Speaker 2>vacation after everything that's happened. She tells them that she

<v Speaker 2>will grab her phone and his medicine downstairs and they

<v Speaker 2>can book their tickets to wherever they're planning on going.

<v Speaker 2>Once she has her stuff, she turns to go back upstairs,

<v Speaker 2>but David's doppelganger is.

<v Speaker 3>What the fuck, it's not David. He's in a suit

<v Speaker 3>suit David.

<v Speaker 2>She immediately recognizes his voice and it's the same one

<v Speaker 2>from the woman's murder in Boston. He tells her if

<v Speaker 2>she screams, her and Cameron die because he does have

<v Speaker 2>a gun. He leaves her out of the house and

<v Speaker 2>into the car as Cameron comes running down the stairs,

<v Speaker 2>drenched in blood from ripping his stitches open. They drive

<v Speaker 2>and he tells her that he is David's twin and

<v Speaker 2>they've been switching back and forth for years. He was

<v Speaker 2>never allowed to go to school because of their mom,

<v Speaker 2>so no one knows that he even exists except for David.

<v Speaker 3>What the fuck.

<v Speaker 2>It's made it to where he can perfect killing women

<v Speaker 2>since he's been after her since high school.

<v Speaker 4>Jesus.

<v Speaker 2>He admits that she looks just like their mom and

<v Speaker 2>was supposed to be his first kill all those years

<v Speaker 2>ago in high school, and then he knocks her out.

<v Speaker 2>Cameron calls the sheriff and his family filling the men.

<v Speaker 2>It's a city wide man hunt and they're all hands

<v Speaker 2>on deck, patching him up and trying to fight Hallie.

<v Speaker 2>Hunter stitches him back up as Alexa, one of the

<v Speaker 2>sheriff deputies, comes in, letting them know that they matched

<v Speaker 2>Prince to a Thomas Connor and the footage also shows

<v Speaker 2>a look alike like David, but it's his twin or doppelganger.

<v Speaker 2>Cameron's panic increases as they go over where he would

<v Speaker 2>have taken Hallie. Then he remembers the basement at Sarah

<v Speaker 2>in David's house in the weird smell. Sarah admits that

<v Speaker 2>she wasn't allowed in the basement and they all agree

<v Speaker 2>to go over there and check it out now. Hunter, Alexa,

<v Speaker 2>and Camera go while Sarah stays behind, and Alexa tells

<v Speaker 2>them that since she's the deputy, she'll check out the

<v Speaker 2>basement and call if she needs them, but they're not

<v Speaker 2>buying it. They go in with her. She gives them

<v Speaker 2>orders to check the rest of the house at least

<v Speaker 2>while she checks the basement. The house is completely destroyed.

<v Speaker 2>There's blood on the carpet and they hear movement below.

<v Speaker 2>Alexa steps down the stairs and a gun goes off.

<v Speaker 2>Cameron and Hunter rush down a seat and intoxicated David

<v Speaker 2>shot in the lake. They demand to know where his

<v Speaker 2>brother took Hallie and he just says that he warn

<v Speaker 2>the stupid horror to leaf, So David knew what was

<v Speaker 2>gonna happen.

<v Speaker 3>He did tell her to leave good looking out David.

<v Speaker 5>Honestly, I just don't understand how Sarah could never know

<v Speaker 5>that it wasn't her husband.

<v Speaker 1>At times, she's like, you're being weird today.

<v Speaker 3>He's probably just like shot bitch.

<v Speaker 2>Cameron beats him up and they call for backup to

<v Speaker 2>come take David away, but David just smiles creepily at

<v Speaker 2>Cameron with blood running down his face. Hallie wakes up

<v Speaker 2>handcuff to a pipe in a small room. He comes

<v Speaker 2>down the stairs, telling her that he's waited so long

<v Speaker 2>for this and he can't wait to end it. He

<v Speaker 2>then proceeds to kick this shit out of her, recracking

<v Speaker 2>her ribs, kicking her in the head like just full

<v Speaker 2>and beats the fuck out of her, and then he

<v Speaker 2>tells her that he'll be back for some fun. She

<v Speaker 2>searches for anything to undo her handcuffs and remembers that

<v Speaker 2>she's wearing a bobby pin. She unlocks them and stands,

<v Speaker 2>but almost passes out from the pan. She finds a

<v Speaker 2>beer bottle and breaks it, using it as a weapon,

<v Speaker 2>and knows that she needs to lure him back down

<v Speaker 2>there and be quick. She hides behind some boxes and

<v Speaker 2>screams for him until she hears keys unlocking the basement door.

<v Speaker 2>As he approaches where he had her chain, she runs

<v Speaker 2>up the steps, slamming the door into his wrist. She

<v Speaker 2>takes off again and feels him right behind her when

<v Speaker 2>she smashes the bottle on his head and makes run

<v Speaker 2>for outside. She's running through a field that she does

<v Speaker 2>not recognize, and hears him right behind her yelling her name,

<v Speaker 2>and then a bullet whizzes right past her head. She

<v Speaker 2>sees headlights coming her way and sirens, but then a

<v Speaker 2>bullet now grazes her arm. The sirens get closer as

<v Speaker 2>he tackles her to the ground, yelling profanities at her

<v Speaker 2>while choking her out. Her vision blurs, but she uses

<v Speaker 2>the last of her fight to shove her thumbs into

<v Speaker 2>his eye sockets. Ah Once he's off of her, she

<v Speaker 2>scrambles back and more shots fire out, but not at her.

<v Speaker 2>The fire at him, and then she sees Cam running

<v Speaker 2>for her. She yells that she loves him, and Thomas

<v Speaker 2>shoots her on the shoulder. He's tackled to the ground.

<v Speaker 2>She feels Cameron hold her and tell her it's over,

<v Speaker 2>but she whispers that she loves him before everything goes black.

<v Speaker 3>She's dead the end I know better.

<v Speaker 2>Cameron paces at the hospital waiting for news. Alexa is

<v Speaker 2>dead because Thomas shot her before shooting Halle, barely missing

<v Speaker 2>Halle's heart. The files in the basement of her house,

<v Speaker 2>in all of those boxes that he took her to,

<v Speaker 2>were full of all of the memorabilia from the women

<v Speaker 2>that he's killed over the past fourteen years, and every

<v Speaker 2>single one of them looks like a variation of Halle.

<v Speaker 3>Damn.

<v Speaker 2>The mind fuck of the identical twins was messing with everyone,

<v Speaker 2>but mostly Sarah, because now Sarah doesn't know if her

<v Speaker 2>kids are David's or Thomas's.

<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry, but like, she's still a dumb bitch in

<v Speaker 5>my eyes, she's a big dum How.

<v Speaker 4>Do you not understand that someone's not your husband.

<v Speaker 2>If they're identical twins that you never knew about the

<v Speaker 2>one twin and he's like a dick all the time.

<v Speaker 3>Once a serial killer.

<v Speaker 5>When's a drunk, I don't know, it's crazy good, it's crazy.

<v Speaker 2>Cameron refuses to leave till he hears about Hallie, and

<v Speaker 2>then a nurse approaches. She's now stable, but they did

<v Speaker 2>lose her for a moment. Anything could happen during the night,

<v Speaker 2>and it's truly a waiting game, but he has to

<v Speaker 2>get his stitches redone again. Three days later, he hasn't

<v Speaker 2>left her side and she hasn't woken up. He holds

<v Speaker 2>the engagement ring that he picked for her, and when

<v Speaker 2>he isn't paying attention, he feels her hand squeeze his

<v Speaker 2>and she whispers, there's my husband.

<v Speaker 3>Cue.

<v Speaker 2>They both cry and hold each other, and then everything

<v Speaker 2>comes back to her. He voices when Thomas's obsession started

<v Speaker 2>with Hallie back in high school at the barn party

<v Speaker 2>before she punched him. Thomas was the one that almost

<v Speaker 2>interrupted them with the dark hair. Oh okay, and Cam

<v Speaker 2>interrupted him from making a move on Hallie, so he

<v Speaker 2>held the grudge against Hallie, who also happens to look

<v Speaker 2>like his mom. I'll fucking up. He lets her know

<v Speaker 2>that Sarah is okay physically but not mentally, and they're

<v Speaker 2>all getting their therapy appointment set.

<v Speaker 4>Up so you all need it.

<v Speaker 2>Cam crawls into and falls asleep for the first time

<v Speaker 2>in three days. It's one month later. Everything's calmed down.

<v Speaker 2>Her and Emma are finishing getting ready for the ceremony.

<v Speaker 2>Her and Cam are getting married in the vineyard and

<v Speaker 2>they can finally start their lives the beautiful.

<v Speaker 1>So, Riley, how many red pepper emojis?

<v Speaker 5>Do?

<v Speaker 3>Give this one? I like it. I think I'd give

<v Speaker 3>it four. It was cute, a.

<v Speaker 1>Little dark, little dangerous, twisty.

<v Speaker 3>Turney, Yeah, twisty turney. Do you think Cam is sexy?

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's fine. He's not like the hottest, but like

<v Speaker 1>he's fine. He learned, he grew, he's doing well. He's

<v Speaker 1>a protective man. And would you trade places with Hallie?

<v Speaker 5>No?

<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, No, I don't want that many people

<v Speaker 1>trying to kill me. Well, next week we're telling Riley

<v Speaker 1>all about Such a Good Girl by Effie Campbell, and

<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have her look at the cover and give

<v Speaker 1>us her best guess on what it might be about.

<v Speaker 1>So it's like a cabin in the forest and it's dark.

<v Speaker 1>This says such a Good Girl, And then at the

<v Speaker 1>top it says, hot creeps, man. I really don't know.
