Snippet ~ Momentversary | Taige Crenshaw

Welcome to 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition!!!!! *I might be a little excited and hyper. ROFLAMO*

This is a Snippet that’s new and never posted anywhere else. Yep new and never posted anywhere else. It’s being posted for the first time as part of the 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition!

Join me daily here on the blog for next Snippet. There’s also something special for the last day of August 2026 as a wrap up for the 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition. 🙂

*holding up a glass of champagne* Wheeee…onto today’s 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition Snippet!!!

Today’s Snippet features characters from Hurricane, Singleton, Book #2. Enjoy!

From time to time there’s multi-part Snippet’s that go together. I think of it as a Snippet Serial and I name them. The below Snippet Serial Charisma Chronicles features the books at the time I wrote these Snippet’s that were available in my Singleton series. Eventually when books are released in the Singleton series an Snippet might be written and if it is it will be added to the Charisma Chronicles Snippet Serial. So this Snippet Serial is a continuous one (at my discretion/time permits).

Charisma Chronicles is a multi-part Snippet Serial and best read in order for the most enjoyment. They are usually in order of the Singleton series for which they are written about (unless otherwise noted).

This might be rough draft so excuse any typos and so on.

Keenan looked at her as she moved. It was the same effortless way as when he had first seen her here. This early on a Saturday morning, Couric Park was not as busy as usual. The area was filled with other patrons of the park along with their family and friends they had invited. It looked like everyone was having a good time.

“This was a good idea.” Julianne bumped shoulders with him.

“You know I love seeing your rollerblade.” He bumped his shoulder against hers. “Besides you also know I love doing this day over again.”

“Yeah it’s the anniversary of the first time I asked you out.” Julianne laced her fingers with him as they skated beside each other. “It was right over there on that bench I asked you so nicely to go out with me.”

“Nicely huh.” Keenan chuckled. “And if I recall since I was sort of a gentleman I didn’t point out at that time you said you didn’t date.”

Without a word they headed to the bench. They sat as they had that day mirroring what they had done.

Julianne looked at him. “A gentleman wouldn’t have referred to my not dating comment from before.” Julianne replied.

The familiar words between them made him smile. Julianne smiled slyly.

“That’s why I said I’m sort of a gentleman.” Keenan laughed.

Julianne joined him then Keenan sobered. He ran a finger down her nose.

Julianne shivered. “Oh my God. Who knew the nose is an erogenous zone?”

“Is that what made you have that expression on your face that day?” Keenan blinked then smirked. “Being sort of a gentleman, I’m sort of old-fashioned. Even though you asked me out, I’ll pick you up for our date. Is seven tonight good?” Keenan whispered.

“Yes,” she said in an equally soft tone.

Julianne leaned closer to him and Keenan moved to meet her.

“And being sort of a lady, I’ll let you pick me up and even pay for the date. I might even let you kiss me after,” she stated, close to his lips.

“That’s good to know. But you assume that I kiss on the first date,” Keenan said in return.

She bit back a groan as his breath tickled her lips.

Clearing her throat, she replied, “We’ll see at the end of our date. Let’s skate.” She laughed then said. “But before we continue this trip down memory lane I have something for you.” She turned her body slightly and looked down.

Curious Keenan mirrored her then stilled. Shocked he stared at the decorative plate on the bench they sat on.

“Weather the hurricane together.” He read then looked at her. “And you have the date we meet and today’s the date of this year’s Momentversary.” Keenan cupped her cheeks. “I love you, Julianne.”

“I love you Keenan.” She sighed softly. “We’re weathering the hurricane together. And I look forward to many more years of doing that with you by my side.”

Keenan stood and pulled her up Julianne tipped her head back to meet his eyes.

“I’m looking forward to tonight. What should I wear?” She said continuing their walk down memory lane.

“Casual. And I’m looking forward to it, too.” Keenan ran his finger down her nose again, then reached past her and got her helmet.

He placed it on her head. Keenan slid his hand along her neck and pulled her braid over her shoulder, before moving down to the tip of her hair. His knuckles brushed the side of her breast, then continued to the side of her hip. She licked her lips and he kissed her. He released the end of her braid. She shivered. He chuckled soft and wicked. Julianne turned away from him and breathed out.

“Lord, the things this man makes me want me to do. Give me strength to not rip his clothes off. We’re in a park with my daughter, your niece, our family, our friends and so many more people who don’t need a show.” Julianne glanced at him. “And yes some of that is what I was thinking that day. You make me lose control.”

He saw her glance over to the girls as they almost reached them. Releasing another exhalation of air, she started to skate and he joined her.

“Don’t forget to take the picture.” The girls said simultaneously.

“What picture?” Keenan asked.

“For the anniversary thing.” Julianne’s daughter said.
“They really need to come up with a cool name for it.” His niece wrinkled her nose. “Maybe we should ask the others and work on that. We can’t leave it to the adults. They’d come up with something lame.”

The girls skated off.

“They know about that?” Keenan turned to Julianne.

“Just a sec.” She went back to the bench and took a picture before returning to him. “Yes. They were there as some of us spoke about some of you.” She finished what she was doing on her cell then looked at him pointedly. “Is all into this anniversary thing…not one anniversary since one is for the weak. But lots of little ones.”

Julianne nodded. “It’s a good sentiment…but the competitiveness of it is what caught the girls attention. And when I said I was doing this they were excited and suggested I jump in. This led to a whole lot of conversation among many of the family and friends. So it looks like this thing is going to get even bigger. Jackson tried to claim since we call things we celebrate Momentversary it couldn’t take part in this. But he was convinced by Iona ie she snarked at him. So no matter what people call it it counts for this. It serves Jackson right for starting this in the first place.”

His phone vibrated. Keenan pulled out his cell and saw the group text they had. His eyes widened as he noted the amount of people had increased.

“We’re so gonna need the tech folks to get that stuff set up. Jackson might be regretting getting this started. But then again this is all in his wheelhouse so he’s probably getting a kick out of it. Seeing as that it’s so many different people in different cities involved.” Keenan put his cell away. “Let’s continue enjoying our Momentversary.”

“Let’s.” Julianne think their fingers together.” I’m looking forward to us having that drive movie date again like we did on our first date.”

“I wonder what movie they will be playing today.” Keenan squeezed her hand. “Although it doesn’t matter since I’ll be with you. “

“I might have to pulled some strings …given a good bribe….so the same movie will be playing like our first date.” Julianne winked.

Keenan slid his arm around her waist. “Thanks for making this so special.”

“Every Momentversary with you is special. Here’s too many more.” Julianne vowed.
