Random Acts of Yes

By Julia Kent

I was ready to propose and I got upstaged by a snake.

Not a real one.

My bandmate.

A case of mistaken identity almost derailed my proposal to Amy, but in the end, love prevailed.

And my hand hurts from the punch, but it was worth it.

She’s worth it.

But I really need an ice pack now.

Though a kiss from Amy and that yes are even better.


Random Acts of Yes is a short story in the Random Acts world, with drummer Sam Hinton proposing to his longtime girlfriend, Amy. Enjoy this short, sweet, and a little steamy peek at the gang as the Random series continues.

This is a 60-page short story set in the Random series after Random Acts of Hope and features all of the main characters from the first four Random books (except for Mavis the Chicken. Sorry.)

Julia Kent

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge. Since 2013, she has sold more than 2 million books, with 4 New York Times bestsellers and more than 21 appearances on the USA Today bestseller list. Her books have been translated into French, Italian, and German, with more titles releasing in the future. From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes. Unlike Shannon from Shopping for a Billionaire, she did not meet her husband after dropping her phone in a men’s room toilet (and he isn’t a billionaire in a rom com). She lives in New England with her husband and children in a household where everyone but Julia lacks the gene to change empty toilet paper rolls.

Author’s Note

This story is not meant to be read as a standalone. It follows the characters in the Random series - in particular, Sam and Amy from the book Random Acts of Trust. In terms of the timeline, the events in Random Acts of Yes take place about eighteen months after Sam and Amy got together. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy!

Amy

Keying in to the building where I now lived was still a novel experience. Moving in to share a bedroom with Sam, and an entire apartment with him and Trevor, still felt surreal.

Sam and I had been together for about eighteen months now, and it made sense to take this step, but even a month after living together it felt...unreal.

Sam was doing laundry and I’d just finished classes for the day, ready to come home, shower, and head out to his big gig tonight. Now that Liam and Charlotte were back together, the band felt complete. Settled.

Stronger than ever, and a big-city tour was on the horizon.

Which key opens the mailbox again? I mumbled to myself in the building’s foyer, finally getting it right on the second try. A bunch of junk mail, some letters with Harvard logos all over them (for Trevor, I assumed), some bills with Sam’s name on them, and—

I froze.

A letter from my university. For me.

I raced to the apartment and flung everything but the letter onto the ground, kicking the door closed. Did they accept me? Reject me? Oh, God, what if I opened it and I didn’t get in? Should I open this alone, or wait until Sam got home?

Sam.

Oh, boy.

My hands shook as I opened the thin envelope, the yellow post office forwarding sticker a gut punch. I’d wondered why some of my classmates in grad school in my library science program already heard back, and I hadn’t. I’d figured I was on a waiting list.

Instead, my move from my tiny apartment into Sam and Trevor’s place had delayed learning about my future.

Sam’s words from last year rang through my head a hundred times a day:

"You’ll make a damn fine librarian, but you’d make an even better law librarian."

I’d started my grad school program hoping that someday I might find my way to law school, back to the passion I’d held before I thought I’d ruined everything by beating Sam in the big debate
