The interrogation was low-key, wood and old dusty books smell pervading the space with easy calm. There was an untouched glass of bourbon in front of Benedict Thompson as he sat in his black leather armchair with hands crossed over his chin.

Sabrina entered quietly, closing the door behind her. She carried a tray of tea, the gentle clink of porcelain soft in the stillness. She set it down on the side table, then turned to face her husband.

“You’ve been quiet all evening,” she said softly, taking a seat on the nearby couch. “Even after dinner. What’s on your mind, Benedict?”

Benedict stared at her, his mind elsewhere, as if deciding something significant.

"Eliana," he said finally. "And Damian Wolfe."

Sabrina wrapped her hands in her lap, raised one eyebrow slightly higher. "Is this the rumor mill? The show trial? It'll blow over. People always talk. We taught Eliana well—she understands how it works."

Benedict's head shook in a strict laugh. "It's not the gossip."

Sabrina nodded her h

    Saben stood before his bedroom mirror, towel still draped loosely around his neck as he accessed his clothes. His thoughts were still reeling from last night. Jenny's weakness, the time they shared, the way she appeared to soften before him it had all been so much to take in. But as he comb-separated his damp hair, he sensed a change within him. He had to admit, he was attached to her. A whole lot more than he had anticipated.He was so deep in thought that the sudden ring on his phone shocked him. He peered at the screen—Eliana Wolfe. His little sister.Sighing, he answered the call, anticipating whatever ribbing was in store for him. Eliana had been persistent about his non-existent "love life" of late, and now, after his late-night escapade, he suspected she was going to have a field day.Saben: "Hey, Eliana. What's up?" He attempted to be nonchalant, but the subtle wariness in his tone betrayed his mind.Eliana (teasing): "Oh, not much, just curious who the new girl is. You know,

    Saben had scarcely entered the peaceful, familiar corridor of his family's house when his mother, Sabrina, emerged from the kitchen, her eyes dancing with mirth. She leaned against the doorframe, arms folded, and smiled knowingly."Hmm, where did you sleep last night? Why just now go home?" she asked, her tone teasing, an undercurrent of curiosity.Saben stood still for an instant, taken aback by the question. His gaze snapped towards his mother's face only to be met with the playing smile at the edge of her lips. She was always perceptive, and everyone knew she knew him better than anybody else. He could not even conceal his own feelings from her even if he wanted to.Saben brushed his hair back, as if trying to bear the burden of the conversation before it could even start. "I. uh, stayed at work a bit longer than planned," he said, his words stuttering against the watchful eye.Sabrina raised an eyebrow. "Oh, I see," she said, her voice heavy with sarcasm. "Stayed at work, eh? Was

    The sunlight coming through the blinds the next morning felt almost alien to Jenny. It was as if an entirely different world had emerged—one she wasn't ready to enter yet, perhaps, but one that she needed to confront regardless. Her head ached from the drinking the night before, and when she sat up in bed, the full force of what had occurred seemed to brood over her like a cloud. She could feel the lingering shadows of Saben's presence beside her—his unspoken comfort, his calm hand in hers—yet now that the instant was gone, she did not know where they were.She looked over at the bench where Saben had slept, half hoping to see it vacant. But there he was, still snoring, his hand on the pillow beside him. His face was easy in sleep, no longer the stern, unreachable man of the office, but someone who appeared almost vulnerable, as if the night had mellowed him as well.Jenny's mind was knotted. What had happened last night? What was this. chemistry between them? It was too early to cons

    The soft light of the streetlights outside the window filtered through to Jenny's apartment and cast long shadows throughout the room. The silence was oppressive, broken only by the soft hum of night outside. Jenny lay awake, her head still on the pillow, her body sore from the activities of the night before. She had never felt so exposed, so fragile.Saben had stuck by her word. But the weight of his presence beside her, the taut silence that threatened to bubble in her atmosphere, was near enough to suffocation. He had been so kind to her, so tender, but she couldn't deal with the whirlpool of emotion that churned now in her heart.She glared up at the ceiling, her hands tracing the edge of the blanket involuntarily."I never thought I'd be here," she breathed aloud.Saben moved in the shadows of the corner, as if he'd heard her. He didn't respond immediately, but the fact that she could even detect him breathing, steady and untroubled, made her feel more exposed. He was present.He

    Surrounded by the quietness that clung to them, Jenny allowed herself to rest her head on Saben's shoulder, her breathing shallow and unregular. The drink fog still lingered, but it was clearing now substituted by something concrete, something darkened: the knowledge that someone, for everything that had happened, still existed.Saben could feel her unwind a fraction in his arms, and for the first time that night, he drew breath. He didn't know what tomorrow would be like if she'd keep pushing him away, if she'd deny this night existed but for now, he was content with this moment of quiet. A tenuous truce in the tempest.The city lights twinkled in the distance, casting a soft light over the streets, and Saben tightened his hold a bit closer, as if he was afraid she'd again slip through his fingers.He whispered into the blackness, having no way of knowing if she was aware to respond to the words."You're no longer alone, Jenny… not if I have anything to say about it."And though she

    Jenny's equilibrium was in doubt, her eyesight dim as she staggered ahead. The alcohol still whirling in her mind, she had a floating sensation, a sense that the floor beneath her didn't exist. She was swept away in the veil of her feelings anger, hurt, confusion and before she could find her balance again, her legs gave way under her.Saben, following but one step behind, acted on instinct. His own hand pushed out, catching her before she hit the floor. She bounced against his chest, gasping in surprise. Her breath caught in her throat as she blinked up at him, attempting to process what had occurred. Her cheeks flushed, her hair disheveled falling across her eyes, but the look of vulnerability on her face was not one to be denied."Jenny!" Saben yelled out, a hue of alarm creeping into his tone. He wrapped his arms around her and drew her close to support her. "Are you alright?"She didn't answer right away. She clung to him for a second instead, hands grasping at his chest but not h
