Back to Me without you (Sibling Love Book 1) Read Online Free PDF Page A

She and Justin hadn’t known each other long and were already planning a wedding.
    “You’ll be fine,” Abby reassured Jessica, even though she wasn’t sure she was telling her the truth.
    Jessica inhaled another deep breath. “You’re right,” she said as she pulled into the parking lot of the café. “I am lovable.”
    Abby realised that deep down Jessica was more anxious than she was letting on. But that was typical Jessica. She often didn’t let on how she was feeling. Instead, she chose to keep it to herself, pushing it to the back of her mind and acting like she was all right.
    Jessica parked the car, switched off the engine and took the key out of the ignition. She turned to Abby with a brave smile on her face. “Are you ready to meet my fiancé? I think you’re going to love him as much as I do. Well, maybe not as much as I do because I am the one marrying him, but I hope you’ll like him, too.”
    “I’m sure I will,” Abby said. For Jessica’s sake, she hoped the assurance that filled her voice was enough of a confidence boost for her. Jessica was never one to need a confidence boost. She always had loads to give, but today was different for her. Abby could feel it. Lunch today was a big deal for her, and it had to go well. If it didn’t then she didn’t know how her marriage to Justin would work or if it would even get as far as the altar at the chapel.
    Abby followed her sister out of the car. Their arms were linked together as they made their way towards the front entrance of the little café, eager to meet her fiancé’s family.
    Abby pushed open the double glass doors, allowing access to the picturesque waterside café. They visited this café all the time for the excellent coffee and serene view of the harbour.
    Somebody approached them from behind.
    “I’m here. Am I late?” Abby and Jessica both turned at the sound of the familiar voice.
    Jessica half-relaxed at the sight of her big brother. Abby smiled, knowing his appearance meant the world to Jessica.
    “Steven. You made it and you’re not late,” she said before turning her focus to the inside of the cafe as she scanned the place looking for her fiancé.
    She found him standing beside an older man and a lady who were most likely his parents. He was almost a carbon copy of his father, though much younger, of course. Abby watched her sister’s eyes widen and a smile grew on her face, then she followed Jessica’s gaze and saw for the first time the man who wanted to make an honest woman out of her little sister.
    Abby had to give Jessica credit. Justin was hot!
    Justin met Jessica’s gaze and they rushed together, falling into an embrace and giving each other a quick kiss on the cheek.
    As Justin looked at Abby and Steven, Jessica looked at Justin’s parents; They stood tall, a bit stiffly like they were already judging her before exchanging a word.
    “Um, hello,” Jessica said, taking one step closer to her future in-laws. Despite all her nerves, she managed to show them a dazzling smile.
    Justin stepped forward. “Mom, Dad, this is my fiancée Jessica. Jessica, this is my mother and father.”
    “It is a pleasure to meet you both,” Jessica replied, exchanging a brief handshake between his parents.
    Justin’s mom was the first to make a statement, showing her a warm smile. “Likewise, my dear,” she said.
    Jess turned toward her siblings, wrapping an arm around her fiancé’s waist. “You’ve already met Steven, but this is my older sister, Abby. Abby, this is Justin.”
    “It’s nice to meet you finally, Abby,” Justin said with a grin. “From what your sister has told me, I feel like I already know you.”
    Abby chuckled. “I hope it’s all good things.” She wished Jessica had clued her in about him. Abby knew nothing about the man her sister was going to marry in September.
    “Of course,” Justin said as he stepped around to shake Steven’s hand while muttering “Good to see you again,
