Cassiopeia King is not letting her life get her down. She knows that like all things, life happens in phases.  Pregnant and newly single, she might be moving slower but she's not about to stand still. Going forward, she refuses to let the past overrun the present and learns to make room for the future...and maybe, have a little fun along the way.

Sitting in the shower chair, mostly naked and very focused, Casse dropped her head back so she could watch Aiden as he washed her hair. The shower head was on but turned away from them as he worked her hair to the lather, and tried his best not to meet her gaze.
