Her Return Home

Jade
I crack open the fortune cookie, half-expecting a cheesy phrase about luck.
Instead, the words leap off the paper: “Roses are red, violets are blue, true love is looking at you!”
I scoff, rolling my eyes. True love? Pfft!
That’s a fairytale I left behind when I left Everville ten years ago.
Now, I’m back, slinging coffee temporarily and trying to build my career as a computer security analyst, hacking my way through vulnerabilities for major companies.
My recent diabetes diagnosis complicates things and the timing of finding love isn’t perfect—but what ever is?
Rhett's dad died from health complications and when he finds out about my diagnosis, I can see him start to pull away.
But we are so good together.... so good.
Vulnerability isn’t my thing and it's not just about cyber-attacks… it’s about opening up to someone, and when I think about losing Rhett, I’m terrified.
If only I could hack my own heart and his.
Will a single fortune cookie unravel our walls?
Join me, Jade, on a journey to get and stay healthy while finding love. It's going to be tricky, but when love's looking you in the face, it's time to fight.

From humorous banter to heartfelt moments, this series dives into the ups and downs of friendship, love, and everything in between. In Everville, passion runs deep, and as secrets unfold and connections blossom, the power of love is undeniable—even for those who swore they’d never settle down. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of laughter, tears, and just a sprinkle of fate!
