Bab 59: Cielito Lindo

Avery had to plan ahead like a normal woman in love who was merging families with someone else. It was what was keeping her going right now. 

Talking about wedding plans with Nancy, Vanessa, and the tías. Making holiday plans with someone else for the first time since she had never dated anybody seriously enough for that before. Acting like she wasn't Nox and didn't have anything else going on even though she did. 

She had this rather large-scale, super important mission looming over her but once that was done, all she would have until after the wedding was her usual insulin runs. She could handle that!

"You really are just trying to live your life, aren't you?" Angelo asked suddenly after several minutes of silence. 

Avery glared at him. "What, did you think I was purposely trying to mess up our plans?"

"No! But I guess it just sort of hit me that you're really trying to move on after what happened."
