Walking the earth this long had taught me sometimes family was trifling. I just so happened to get lucky. When my mother married Brock Donovan when I was seven years old, I got a brother in the deal. Once he noticed how shy and anxious I was, Rico Donovan had turned into my very best friend and so had his two friends, Soul and Christian. I wasn’t the overanxious little girl they took under their wing anymore, but those three would forever own the softest, biggest piece of my heart.
