    Summary

    Kids,

    The moment I first saw your mother I knew she was The One. Fate, with its great sense of humor, had ensured I’ve been 🤏close to meeting her so many times before.

    I’ve met my fair share of insightful, interesting, intriguing, infuriating and intoxicating women in the wildest of circumstances: as a teenage pen pal, an online nemesis, a flirty discord situationship, even got myself a wedding plus-one from an online app. But these virtual romances always flickered; something was missing. And as if I wasn't trying hard enough, my meddling siblings conspired to set me up with a blind date for Daphne's wedding.

    The truth is, I was learning to trust this chaotic journey through life, despite the pain and self-doubt. Every connection, every goodbye, was merely another piece falling into place in an elaborate 3D puzzle, unveiling her as the woman I was meant to find.

    And the biggest lesson life taught me was this: true connection comes from the most unexpected sources, demanding we shed our masks. While revealing our true selves carries a price, for the right person, unfolding every hidden part of our heart is infinitely worth it.

    Because it led me to the love of my life.

    Summary

    or: colin loves and protects his sisters as they love and protect him, from excitable kids to married adults. (each chapter is a different sister)

    Summary

    “Apparently, I once gummed down a meat pasty before I even had teeth to chew,” Colin said, shaking his head and grinning proudly at Thomas.

    “That is entirely unsurprising to hear,” she replied dryly.

    Colin stared fondly at Thomas, watching him closely now. “I wonder what traits of yours he will acquire?” he pondered.

    Hopefully, she passed along only the good ones.

    Pen smiled and did not reply as the thought flitted across her mind.
