Solemates Forever: A Starr and Cole Romance

Episode 5

Starr and Cole had just arrived at their favorite spot in the park with Hope, when Cole got a text and without notice, rushed back to the car without so much as a kiss. Cole had been acting strangely the last few days after they had renewed their love by making love. Cole wasn't the loving man Starr had always known him to be. After they made love, Cole barely touched her anymore. She had yet to figure it out, but somehow, Cole wasn't the man she knew him to be. But Starr didn't want to think about that. She wanted to watch Hope play on the swings, and the slide. It made Starr happy just watching Hope play. Starr loved spending time and playing with Hope. So Starr spent the rest of the day in the park with Hope, pushing her on the swing and watching her on the slide, and pushing her on the merry-go-round.

While, back at Cole's apartment......

"Okay Grandmother. I'm back at the apartment. What do you want that was so important? I was having a picnic with Starr and the Hope."

"I'm sorry, Stefan. But it couldn't be helped."

"Well, what do you want?"

"I need you to keep a tight reign on Starr and Hope. I think Cole is planning an escape here. So I have moved him into the mansion as my personal assistant so I can keep a tight watch on him."

"Just make sure he doesn't ever escape. If Cole ever escapes and makes it back to Llanview, he'll be sorry and so will anyone who allows him to escape."

"Don't worry, Stefan. Everything is under control. Cole is under my watch and the real Hope is right here in the nursery."

"I hope so, Grandmother."

And Stefan/Cole hung up. He had to get back to Starr and Hope. He had to make Starr his before the real Cole came back and reclaimed Starr as his wife. Stefan was not going to let that happen. He text Starr and told her he was on his way back to the park.
