Lauren knew from the day she met Bryce that there was something different about him—even if it took months of “accidental” Home Depot visits, funny notes left on his car, and encouragement from a coworker before he finally asked her out. Their first date at Silver Diner and the bowling alley grew into a relationship built on kindness, little love notes, and the ability to work through life side by side. Lauren found in Bryce the safety and sense of home she had always wanted; Bryce found renewed purpose and a family worth giving everything to. Now, with their son Gavin and another baby on the way, they begin this chapter as best friends, partners, and devoted parents.
