The best part? He’s so gentle and thoughtful, and the way he treats Lillian—honestly, he’s just the sweetest. And he’s genuinely respectful of women!

Come on, what woman wouldn’t fall for a guy like that? He’s practically flawless!

Not to mention, you two are total knockouts together.

At this point, she leaned in, lowering her voice conspiratorially. “Seriously though, I think you guys make a perfect match. Remember when I saw you two standing together outside the community center last week? You looked like you belonged together!”

“Maybe you should give it a shot… see where things go?”

Camila Davis gave her a look and quickly covered her friend’s mouth, half-laughing, half-panicked. “Sarah! Don’t say that out loud. What if someone hears? That’s not appropriate!”

Never mind the fact that she was still technically married—someone as amazing and upstanding as Mr. Williams was way out of her league.

Sarah Brown just blinked innocently.

Sure, she couldn’t say it out loud, but she was a die-hard shipper at heart. Those two just fit. End of story.

That evening, after picking up some groceries, the two of them swung by the middle school to get Lillian.

The moment they arrived, Larry Adams—the principal—walked over, his demeanor unusually serious. “Ms. Davis, do you have a moment? There’s something I’d like to discuss.”

Camila rarely saw him like this and immediately worried. “Is something wrong? Did something happen with Lillian?”

“Oh, no, nothing like that,” Larry said, breaking into a reassuring smile. “Actually, it’s some good news. Remember how Lillian painted that picture for the art contest last weekend? Well, the results came in today—she took first prize! And not just that—Lawrence Walker himself, the famous painter, gave her a ton of praise.

Now, a bunch of local reporters want to interview Lillian. I’ve held them off so far, but I wanted to run it by you first.”
