Clara waited patiently in the dimly lit corridors of the mental health facility. The guardians were distracted by some new minor commotion in another wing. The hall outside her room became unguarded. She was sitting calmly on her cot, imagining things. Tonight was the night for her escape. She had planned everything very carefully - each and every step of the escape.

The nurse went around making rounds and stopped at Clara's door, knocking gently before entering.

"Clara? How're we doing tonight?" the nurse asked as she entered in a calm professional voice.

Clara smiled faintly, her face curiously innocent. When the nurse turned her back to adjust the chart on the bedside table, Clara moved swiftly. She reached for the metal pitcher on the nightstand and brought it down upon the nurse's head over the back of her head with enough force to knock her unconscious.

The nurse collapsed onto the floor, her clipboard clattering loudly against the tiles. Clara ducked down and ensured she was no

    Saben sat in the quiet of his office, the whisper of air conditioning the sole noise present. His fingers rested on his phone for a moment before he finally sent the text to Jenny: "Meet me at Café De Luca in an hour. I need to talk."He gazed at the screen for an eternity, the words glaring back at him as if they were more burdensome than he could bear. He had decided. He had to confront this whatever it was, whatever resulted from it. He couldn't keep avoiding the truth any longer.With a deep sigh, he rose from his desk and went over to the window, gazing out at the city skyline. The sun was high in the afternoon sky, and long shadows stretched across the floors as the streets below chattered on unaware of the storm that raged within. He'd been so busy working, keeping away from the mess of his emotions, that he hadn't realized how knotted things had gotten. Jenny, Clarisse, his family, his own heart anything seemed so unclear.But one thing was certain: He couldn't continue leadin

    Saben sat in the silence of his office, the low hum of the air conditioning the only noise present in the room. His mind was a jumbled mess, and his heart wasn't much more lucid. Jenny had gone, and with the leaving came the feeling of emptiness. Her words, her questions they reverberated in his head, and for the first time in a very long time, Saben didn't possess the answers he required.His office phone rang suddenly, the ringing harsh in the quiet. He answered it mindlessly, his thoughts still on the just-ended conversation with Jenny."Hey, Saben," Eliana's cheerful and relaxed voice broke through the connection, but under it lay an edge. "How're you?"He sat back in his chair, combing his hair. "It's fine. Busy. You know how it is.""Yeah, I get it," Eliana said, as if attempting to read between the lines. "Listen, I wanted to speak to you about Clarisse."Saben's jaw clenched at the mention of her name. He had been waiting for this call. Clarisse. His past. Everything involving

    Jenny lightly tapped on the door to Saben's office, the gentle knock shattering the stillness that had gathered around him. She could glimpse, through the little glass window, Saben seated at his desk, his eyes staring into the distance lost in contemplation."Come in," he said, though his tone was softer than normal, nearly far-away.Jenny paused for a split second before turning the handle and entering. She had arrived to sign some critical documents, but there was tension in the air. Her heart skipped a beat as she noticed Saben's scowling face, his hand on the edge of his desk like he was clinging to something for dear life. She was used to his restrained attitude, but today he appeared different distracted, burdened by something only he knew.She approached his desk, the sound of her heels ringing in the otherwise quiet room. As she set the folder containing the papers on the table, she couldn't help but feel the palpable tension in the room."Hi," she said quietly, attempting to

    The sun came through the Thompson Group building's sleek glass windows in the morning, casting a warm light over the shined-up conference table where Saben and Jenny sat with their colleagues. The conference room was buzzing as the meeting was in full swing, echoing with the quick-spoken details. The deal they were negotiating was big—a high-stakes, high-reward opportunity—and everybody was invested in making sure things ran smoothly.Saben, as ever, was the model of concentration. His piercing, calculating eyes ran over the papers on the table before him as he nodded periodically throughout the meeting, providing concise but incisive input. Jenny, beside him, was a mirror image of his intensity, her fingers flying over her laptop as she noted, crunched numbers, and provided strategic suggestions where needed. The air was filled with the clacking of keyboards, the soft muttering of discussion, and the shuffling of documents.The minutes crept by like hours. Jenny's attention was laser

    But how could he not? Jenny had turned into a complication that he never anticipated. She had awakened feelings that he wasn't convinced he was prepared for, and Clarisse's unexpected revelation made everything more complicated. It was as if his past was on the verge of drowning the present.But just as he was able to process more of his own thoughts, his phone rang on the table, cutting across his whirling mind. He looked down and saw Jenny's name lit up on the screen.Perhaps now is the time to speak with her, he considered, the struggle building within him. Jenny had been cold towards him recently, but this was something he couldn't brush off. They needed to speak. He needed to know what was happening in her mind, where they both were.Reaching out without thinking, he picked up the phone."Jenny?" His tone now was softer, nearly hesitant, not knowing what she'd respond with."Hey, Saben," she said, voice steady but cool. "I was just curious if we could sit down and talk. About las

    But even so, in spite of the draw he felt towards her, in spite of their history together, he knew in his heart that things were different now. Something had changed in him someone had changed him.He considered Jenny, her inner strength, the way she had kept herself together in spite of the trials that had befallen her. He recalled their talks, the times she had talked to him about things, even when it seemed to him she was still trying to get a handle on what she was feeling. Jenny was unfamiliar ground. Jenny unsettled him in a way Clarisse never had. With Jenny, there were no quick answers, no tidy bundles. And that was scary, but it was exhilarating.He gazed at Clarisse, his heart hurting as he viewed the vulnerability she was sharing with him, the honesty she had exposed. But he could not deny that he did not feel what Jenny made him feel. And that alone was enough to make him waver.Saben breathed slowly, raking a hand through his hair as he looked at her, careful with his wor
