Chapter 4 of You’re A Part of Me is now live!
          
          Six years may have passed, but apparently some childhood habits are impossible to outgrow... including fork fencing over apple crumble. 😂🍎🍴
          
          For a little while, Jason and Josephine get to forget how complicated their lives have become and simply remember who they used to be together.
          
          I hope you enjoy Chapter 4. ❤️
          
          Thank you so much for reading and continuing Jason and Josephine’s story with me.
          
          More than words,

Hello readers and writers,
          
          A New Cover for You’re A Part of Me ❤️
          
          I recently changed the cover of You’re A Part of Me, and it reminded me that choosing a book cover is very much like writing the story itself. It is a process of discovery.
          
          Sometimes the first choice feels right for where you are at that moment. Then, as you spend more time with the story, its characters, and the heart of what you created, you begin to see it differently.
          
          A book cover is the first glimpse a reader gets of the world waiting inside. Finding the right one sometimes means experimenting, reconsidering, and allowing yourself to change your mind until the image finally feels like it belongs to the story.
          
          I think that's part of the joy of creating. Not everything reveals itself to us at once.
          
          So, this is the new cover of You’re A Part of Me. I hope when you see it, you catch a little glimpse of Jason and Josephine's story before you even turn the first page.
          
          Thank you for continuing this journey with me. ❤️

          Some histories follow us into adulthood.
          Some feelings never learned to leave.
          They grew up together. Now they’re sitting across the same boardroom table with far more than childhood memories between them.

Chapter 2 of You’re A Part of Me is now available! ❤️
          
          
          Six years have changed Jason and Josephine, but some things have proven much harder to leave behind.
          
          
          Jason has returned to Boston with a plan, and Josephine is beginning to realize that his reach extends far beyond the boy she once knew.
          
          
          Now, with the future of Copeland Group hanging in the balance, old feelings collide with new loyalties... and someone from their past is about to make things even more complicated.

Hello fellow writers and readers,
          
          Jason and Josephine’s story continues. 
          
          Six years have passed since You’re the Best of Me.
          
          They’ve grown older. Their lives have changed. They’ve built careers, made choices, and learned to live without the person who once meant everything.
          
          But some people become such a part of us that even time cannot teach the heart to let them go.
          
          Chapter One of You’re A Part of Me is now available!
          
          If you’ve finished You’re the Best of Me, I hope you’ll join Jason and Josephine as their story begins again, six years later.
          
          And to everyone who has read, followed, commented, voted, or simply spent a little time with these characters, thank you for giving their story a place in your heart. ❤️

          Sometimes the person you’ve been searching for is the one who has been beside you all along.
          
          For Jason, one quiet night with Josephine finally brings him face-to-face with a truth that may have been there for years.
          
          But by morning, everything begins to change.
          
          A best friend is suddenly missing.
          Someone who shouldn’t be at St. Andrews is waiting near the school.
          Whispers follow Jason through the halls.

Hello fellow readers and writers...
          
           Chapter 8 is now live on Wattpad! 
          
          Some conversations stay with us long after we've finished reading them.
          
          In Chapter 8, Josephine discovers that growing up isn't always about finding the right answers. Sometimes, it's about listening to the people who have quietly loved you all along.
          
          Meanwhile, Jason makes a decision that will change everything.
          
           If you've been following Jason and Josephine's journey, I'd love to hear your thoughts after you read this chapter. Every vote, comment, and share means more than you know.
          
          Happy reading! 
          
          You're the Best of Me
