I hate customers. Do I really have to make sure they’re happy? For the love of God! I make sweet things and chocolate, how can anyone be upset with that? It’ll all get better when I see Sam’s face around lunch time. He’ll come in and have his donuts while flirting with me. My niece will be taking candid photos in the background even though she’s not supposed to have her phone out while she’s working, but the photos are worth it! Between that smile and his mismatched eyes I know I’m already a goner.

Money and private schools, our families' lavish parties, and posh New York City apartments - it was all mere window dressing. What was real was our obsessive love, which grew right along with us as we moved toward adulthood. It consumed me, and only in his arms did I feel wanted and safe. But I have a secret. It's big and, to some, unforgivable. And it's why I let Reed destroy me, or maybe I destroyed us.

Overwhelmed with love and thankful for the life that lay ahead, she knew she needed to honour her past.

I don't do relationships, I don't do drama, and I definitely don't do love. I'm not Prince Charming. I'm the VP of the Disciples, and the club is my family. The last thing I need is a violet-eyed enchantress who smells like candy and has some sort of voodoo chemistry that's messing with my mind. She needs to go. She's a distraction...a weakness I can't have. Men like me fall in lust, not love. So why is she still here?

Cassandra Dunn, host of the hit podcast Crappy to Happy, shares practical tips for getting the best out of your relationships.

Reed took all my firsts like a shiny present. He made promises with silky words I greedily kept as truths. But the moment I faltered, he took everything away. Now we're both guilty of sins. As we come together for Grandfather Ian's funeral, it's time to face what I've done - what we've done.

Each delicious kiss seems to peel away our ugly past - a past we're desperate to escape.
