《Under Investigation》16

"I'm flying to meet him in Utah where he's filming an episode," Sadie announced to her sisters one afternoon, a few weeks after Jett had left.
Leslie let out a dramatic screech, "No way."
Mollie patted her hand. "I can't believe my first weird little sister is growing up. I thought I was going to die before I saw the day you had a boyfriend, let alone a celebrity boyfriend," she teased.
Sadie blushed and rolled her eyes with a smile, "Whatever, Mollie. At least now you can harp on Leslie and not me."
She was excited to fly out to see Jett. They had made the plans almost immediately after he had left, and things between them had been really good. She had been worried and a bit doubtful, but he'd been so loyal and attentive. They video chat at least twice a day.
"Anyway, I wanted to see if you could possibly stay at the ranch that weekend to help Ashley out with the horses," Sadie asked Leslie. "I'll pay you."
"Of course I will," Leslie nodded. "I love staying at your place."
"I want to stay, too! I could bring the boys. It would be like a mini get away," Mollie smiled.
Leslie and Mollie immediately started making plans, and it made Sadie feel so much better about leaving. She hated to burden people, especially because it was supposed to be her responsibility.
"As long as you promise not to ride the horses without Ashley there to supervise," Sadie reminded, knowing full well that they already knew her rules.
"As long as you stock the fridge with alcohol and pizza rolls," Leslie retorted.

Sadie's plane landed late afternoon mountain standard time on a Thursday. She was staying with Jett until Sunday at the town he was currently in. He was only going to be busy filming tonight, but he had promised to squeeze as much time in today, and she was fine with that. She was content with whatever worked for him.

The town she had flown into was pretty small, and it was easy to spot Jett in the crowd. He looked so handsome wearing his black clothes, a black baseball hat pulled low over his eyes. He had on a red flannel, which Sadie found a little odd, but it looked so good on him. She liked seeing some color on him.
He caught sight of her, and a smile spread across his face. He walked towards her, meeting in the middle of their two locations.
Jett swept her up in a tight hug, "Sadie," he breathed. "I missed you so damn much."
She loved his hugs. It felt like coming home, and she squeezed him tight.
Their moment was short lived as Sadie felt eyes on their little display. She was doing her best to tune it out and not ruin their moment, but Jett was recognized by a fan of his show and they had to separate for a moment.
"Let's get out of here," Jett said, grabbing Sadie's bag and her hand. He couldn't resist another smile down at her. She made him so happy. He was so excited to have her here with him.
They found Jett's car and Sadie visibly relaxed as they both got in. "I missed you," she whispered.
Jett stroked her cheek, leaning down to kiss her sweetly, and Sadie melted with joy. It felt so good to be with him.
"I'm so happy you're here," Jett said. "I was thinking we could stop by this store I think you'd like, get some lunch and go to the hotel? Or we can go back to the hotel now if you're tired?"
"A store you think I'd like? That's mysterious," Sadie giggled. "I'm not tired, but if you need to rest for tonight.." she trailed off.

Jett said he had plenty of time and wouldn't give her anymore details on where they were going.
She figured out soon enough when they pulled into the parking lot of a massive antique flea market store.
Sadie couldn't contain her excitement. She loved these kinds of places even though they were all over the place. Each one was so different, she could get lost for hours.
Jett couldn't contain his smile, not around Sadie, it was impossible. She was so adorable, practically buzzing in her seat when she saw the sign.
"What if we made this a game, Jett?" Sadie asked, swinging their hands childishly.
"What kind of game?" Jett would do whatever she wanted just to keep her happy like this.
"We split up and hunt for an item for each other. No spying on the other person."
Jett agreed, actually excited. He snatched a kiss for good luck and parted ways with his love. He was going to win for sure, even if Sadie didn't mention winners.

War of Seasons
Dorothea Atlin is the young, apathetic leader of the neutral territory of Sirpo, a chilly land hovering above the continuously warring factions of Sacer and Ghuria, whose devastating magics have ravaged their people and lands time and time again. Following a shocking attack and a cruel deception, Dorothea grows her conscience and takes up arms, using her self-destructive ability to manipulate the flow of time to ensure Sacer’s victory. Her growing understanding of war and the two factions is guided by Iree Nobelis, the determined and enthralling commander of Sacer’s forces, Ariana Kingfisher, a steely swordswoman of mixed Ghurian and Sacerian descent, and Rhys Tamlin, a kind but haunted soldier who goes to challenge Dorothea’s self-imposed celibacy and join her on a mutual journey of healing from the tragic legacies of the Atlin family and wars between the nations. Meanwhile, Dorothea’s only friend and deserter from the Sacerian military, Shark Olyen, returns to their homeland to face the family that disowned them and finds more than they bargained for in meeting Cerid Creed, a noble whose duty to his people clashes with his desires in romance and in life, much like Shark’s did long before. As their developing or preexisting loves and differing convictions on how to achieve peace create rifts between these major players, Dorothea experiences a personal revolution that leads her to fight for what she believes is right, no matter the cost. A slow-burn story that takes time setting up the psychology and motivations of characters for explosive payoff later down the line.
