Eloise's Observations

Eloise's POV

Eloise had learned a long time ago that grown ups didn't always tell the truth. Not the way kids lied about eating cookies before dinner or breaking vases, but in bigger, quieter ways. They smiled when they were sad. They said everything was fine when it wasn't. They pretended not to notice things that were right in front of them.

That's why Eloise had gotten really good at noticing things herself.

Like how Mrs. Patterson, the head housekeeper, always smiled

    Fletcher and NicoleWe were not even close to being perfect, but we had each other.Some days were easier than others. There were still moments when I caught Fletcher watching me like he was scared I might vanish again. And there were nights when the nightmares dragged me under, making me wake up shaking and covered in sweat.Like tonight.I jerked awake, heart pounding, the taste of fear still thick in my throat. Before I could even sit up, Fletcher was already there. He pulled me into his chest without saying a word, his big hand rubbing slow circles on my back. He didn’t ask questions. He didn’t try to fix it. He just held me until my breathing slowed down and my body stopped trembling.“I’ve got you,” he whispered against my hair.That was all he ever said. And somehow, it was always enoug

    The Days That CountSix weeks had passed since Eliana moved in, and our house — once cold and echoing — had become something entirely different.It was loud now. Beautifully, chaotically loud.Loise’s laughter rang through the halls every morning as she dragged Eliana’s wheelchair to the garden for “butterfly patrol.” Fletcher no longer disappeared into his study the moment he got home. He lingered. He laughed. He let himself be needed. The man who used to command silence now sat on the floor helping Loise build Lego castles while Eliana watched with a knowing smile.I stood at the kitchen window one golden afternoon, watching them. Fletcher had rolled up his sleeves, his injured shoulder finally free of the sling. Loise was explaining something very seriously about why the princess tower needed to be taller. Eliana sat under the

    LoiseHaving a grandmother is very different from having a mommy or a daddy.Mommy and Daddy are loud and warm and always there. A grandmother is quieter. Like a secret you’re not sure you’re allowed to keep yet.At first, I was careful.I stood at the door of the east wing room every morning for three whole days, peeking in with one eye. Grandma Eliana looked soft and tired in the big reading chair, sunlight making her hair look like silver threads. She smiled when she saw me, but I didn’t go in right away. I needed to watch. To make sure she was real.On the fourth day, I brought my best drawing.It was a picture of all of us — me, Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma — standing in the garden with butterflies everywhere. I had drawn Grandma with strong colors so she wouldn’t look sick. I held it

    Three MonthsThe words hung in the sterile hospital air like a death sentence wrapped in clinical politeness.“Three months,” the doctor had said gently. “Maybe a little more if the treatment responds well. But we need to be realistic.”I stood frozen beside Eliana’s bed, my mother’s frail hand in mine. Three months. After everything we had already survived — the fire, the years apart, the surgery, the lies — we were being given three months.“No,” I said immediately, my voice sharper than I intended. “She’s coming home with us. Today.”Eliana let out a tired laugh that turned into a cough. “Nicole, sweetheart, stop. I’m not burdening that man’s house with a dying woman.”“You’re not dying,” I snapped, ev

    Sandra's EndingI sat in the living room with my phone in my hands, staring at the article for a long time before I could bring myself to read it properly.Fletcher had forwarded it to me earlier with just two words: It’s done. No explanation needed. The headline said everything — Disgraced Doctor Loses All Licenses Amid Poisoning Scandal.They had taken everything from her. Every medical license stripped. Her connections on the board exposed one by one — the bribes, the quiet favors, the years of playing both sides. The reports were brutal and detailed. I scrolled slowly, taking it all in. Part of me had waited for this moment for so long, but now that it was here, I felt strangely hollow.There was one last interview.Sandra had spoken from some hidden location. Her face was blurred and her voice distorted, but I would have recognized her anywhere. She tried to spin the story, calling herself a victim caught between powerful families. She even dared to say she had only been trying t

    The house was finally quiet.Most of the lights were off, and only the soft glow of Loise’s nightlight spilled into the hallway — a gentle pink star that rotated slowly across the ceiling. I stood outside her door for a long moment, heart beating heavily against my ribs. Fletcher had gone to his study to make some calls, giving me this moment alone with her. He knew I needed it.I pushed the door open gently.Loise was sitting up in bed, surrounded by her favorite stuffed animals, wearing the soft purple pajamas we’d picked out together weeks ago. She looked small and impossibly wise at the same time, her dark eyes watching me as I stepped inside.“Can’t sleep?” I asked softly, closing the door behind me.She shook her head. “I was waiting for you.”My throat tightened. I crossed the room and climbed onto her bed, sitting beside her and pulling the blanket over both our laps. She immediately scooted closer until her head rested against my arm. For a while, we just sat like that, breat

    Jemaya's POV I stared at my phone for a full five minutes before finally calling Jake.It rang three times. Each ring felt like an eternity."Jemaya." His voice was warm, familiar. "I was just thinking about you.""Hey." My voice came out smaller than I intended. "How are you?""Busy. The usual. H

    JemThe first week at school felt heavier than I’d imagined.Not because of the workload — that part was manageable — but because every quiet moment had Jake’s ghost in it.When I brushed my teeth in the morning, I saw him in the mirror behind me, teasing, smirking, tugging the back of my shirt the
