Rating / Category: General. Longing.
A/N: Inspired by this weekend’s OPH Book Club replay, this fic is set in Book 1, chapter 11. This is what I hc happens before Cassie and Ethan meet up with Naveen at the start of the chapter.
When Cassie Valentine was six years old, she heard a story that would change her life forever. She and her brother Max were staying with their grandparents in Newport while their parents were on a second honeymoon.
She missed them terribly and had a hard time sleeping those first few days, so her grandmother decided to tell them stories from their family that had been passed down for generations.
They were all about how each person met their soulmate and Cassie loved them. Max, being the boy that he was, thought they were gross and would tease his sister by making fake kissing sounds after they were tucked in for the night.
Cassie didn’t care. Her young, romantic heart wanted what other Valentines before her had no trouble finding.
“When Valentines meet their one true love,” her grandmother would say, “it’s for life.”
