It's all just a game. A dare. A marriage. A bucket list. And a bakery.

A/N: Wassup guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a few months. I had to deal with some family stuff as well as finish up my degree, so it's been a hectic life. On top of that, this is the longest chapter I've every written (24K+ words, 70 pages...minus the A/Ns & recap) and required A LOT of research. It was also emotionally draining (you'll shortly see why), so I needed lots of breaks. Grab a snack cuz it's a long one. TAP that VOTE and leggo! *tap tap tap*
PS: Thank you to everyone that's been responding to my questions on IG and DMing me their stories. You guys have helped me so much!! <3

Jade's POV

We'd never met before, but the stranger entering my San Francisco office looked oddly familiar. It was like looking into a mirror and watching a younger version of myself walk into the Little Harmony counseling clinic for the first time. Nervous. Tense. Unsure. Lost. Damaged. I saw my reflection in every person that walked in.
