Jessica's POV
The time I spent alongside Caleb and his brothers opened my eyes to something I had never experienced before. Watching the three of them interact showed me they had built their own family unit, one that didn't require their worthless father's presence.
Each brother possessed a completely different temperament, yet they meshed together like puzzle pieces finding their perfect fit.
Envy crept through me as an only child who had never known that kind of bond. Yet somehow, I never felt like an outsider looking in.
They welcomed me into their circle completely, sharing tales from their childhood and teenage years with genuine warmth.
I could sense their past hadn't been filled with easy moments, though they worked hard to present their struggles with humor and lightness.
