Sabrina waited, her phone glued to her eyes, almost as if it were to magically flash a message from Benedict. Every passing hour without one only grew the ache inside her chest. She found herself occupied cleaning up the garden, reorganizing closets. Anything to not feel the chasm of silence stretching between them. But with each task accomplished, she could only see that she was alone in a marriage she was promised to feel treasured for.

With night again falling two days running, Sabrina could no longer wait up for him to come back home. She settled down by the edge of their bed; her fingers played over the phone on her lap for what felt like the millionth time, as the calls to his number hadn't received an answer once, the messages she tried to send went unanswered - they'd gotten more panicky than ever, one every few minutes.

"I'm your wife, Benedict. Don't I at least deserve an explanation?"

"I'm here, waiting for you. Please just come home. We can talk."

    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

    Saben leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on her. There was something in her tone, something deliberate about the way she spoke. “You came here just to check on me?”Clarisse smiled, a faint one playing at the edges of her mouth, but her eyes sharpened, as if she was weighing each word. "Yes, and no. I just wanted to check on things. On you. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, Saben.""Thinking about what?" Saben queried, his brow wrinkling. He was beginning to sense the change in the atmosphere between them, the way her words weighed more, carried something more than simple talk.Clarisse hesitated, placing her glass down carefully, then meeting his gaze. There was something unsaid there, something that made his heart race, a thread of unspoken tension that he couldn't escape."I've been thinking about us," she whispered softly, the words suspended between them. "I've been thinking about what we had… and what I let slip away."Saben's heart skipped a beat. He had not expec
