SHANE

Everything felt heavier than I’d expected after our bath. Carrie still had an hour before she had to leave for the airport, but the house already felt emptier, like it was holding its breath, waiting for her absence to settle in. The soft hum of her movements in the bedroom; the rustle of fabric, the zip of her suitcase, the faint tune she hummed under her breath, was both comforting and torturous.

I sat at the edge of the bed, elbows on my knees, absently twisting my wedding band. She was at the dresser, folding one of her silk blouses and tucking it neatly into her suitcase. Watching her made me smile. “You’ve checked that bag three times already,” I said, teasing her.

Without turning, she smirked. “And you’ve said that three times already. Humor me, Shane. I hate forgetting things.”

“You’re not the forgetting type,” I murmured, standing and walking up behind her. I slipped my arms around her waist, resting my chin lightly on her shoulder. “You’re the most organized woman I kn

    SHANE It was noon already, and the boardroom felt unusually stifling today. The air-conditioning hummed low in the background, yet the heat of tension clung to the atmosphere. I sat at the head of the long, oval table, half-listening to the tail end of the financial report being presented by our CFO.The Singapore merger had been a triumph; months of work condensed into a few sentences of acknowledgment. The figures projected on the screen were impressive: expansion forecasts, international collaborations, stock growth. The room buzzed with approval.When the CFO wrapped up, I leaned back in my chair, ready for the usual round of congratulations and strategic suggestions. And indeed, they came, one after another, polite applause, murmurs of “Well done, Mr. Blackwood.”Then came the clearing of a throat.A deliberate sound that announces trouble.I shifted my gaze toward Leigh Thompson, the recently elected chairman of the board. His sharp eyes gave him a patriarchal air, though he w

    SHANE I moved effortlessly through the crowd with my arm resting lightly on Cathy’s waist as we exchanged pleasantries with acquaintances. Cathy was officially my woman again, and I took her along to events now. The reception was a grand celebration for one of my late father’s friends.The ballroom buzzed with laughter and conversation, the hum of voices blending seamlessly with the soft melody from the live band. Cathy, ever the perfect socialite, was completely in her element, flashing dazzling smiles, offering light-hearted laughs, and keeping conversations flowing with practiced ease.I played along, nodding in the right places, chuckling when appropriate, but my mind wasn’t fully on the festivities. I would’ve much rather been in my study at home, or just relaxing.Then, across the room, I heard a familiar voice call my name.“Shane, a moment?”I turned and spotted Donovan Pierce, one of my father’s longtime younger business associates, weaving through the crowd towards me. His

    CARRIE I gazed down at the tiny bundle in my arms, my heart swelling with a kind of love I had never known before. Leonard Mathew Dalton. My son. My world had finally arrived. I had named him Leonard after my late Dad and Mathew was the name I have always loved. His soft breaths were steady, his little fingers curling around mine as he slept. He had been born just a few weeks ago, filling a void in my heart I hadn’t even realized was still there. The moment I held him for the first time, everything else had faded; my heartbreak, my past, even the pain I had endured bringing him into the world.Now, as I sat in the nursery, rocking him gently, I couldn’t help but marvel at how much Leo resembled his dad. The resemblance was uncanny, he even had the same birthmark Shane had under his jaw.“Well, I shouldn’t be surprised,” I told myself. The Blackwood gene had always been strong; most of the family looked alike.Carl had been overjoyed when I gave birth, fussing over me and Leo like a

    ANDERS The meeting finally wrapped up with Emmett’s usual closing remarks about growth strategies and sponsorship expansions. I leaned back in my chair, stretching my neck slightly. The meeting had gone beyond the time I expected, it was one of those strategy sessions that left your mind buzzing with numbers and possibilities but as I glanced at my wristwatch, a slow smile tugged at my lips.Five minutes to five. Perfect.I really wanted to see her again. Carrie.I told myself I only wanted to check in on her, to make sure she was doing okay after the nursery setup. But if I was being honest with myself, that wasn’t the full truth. I liked being around her. I liked the calm she carried, even with everything she’d been through. I liked the way her laughter softened the air, the way her eyes lit up when she talked about her baby, or her work, or anything that meant something to her.I’d seen her smile more often lately, and that did something to me: something I couldn’t quite explain,

    CARRIE It was a crisp Saturday morning, and the sunlight spilled softly through the large windows of my apartment, bathing everything in a golden glow. I stood in the doorway of the nursery, one hand resting on my rounded belly, and smiled. The baby would be here soon, just a few more weeks and I could hardly believe how quickly time had flown.The room already looked perfect, thanks to Ellen. She’d practically taken charge of the entire decoration, insisting that I rest and “let the experts handle it.” But I wanted to be part of it, at least for today. There were still a few finishing touches I wanted to add, tiny details that felt personal, that made the space feel more like ours.Ellen arrived first, her blond hair tied back and a look of excited determination on her face. “Morning, mama!” she greeted, stepping inside with a shopping bag in each hand. “Ready to make some magic happen?”I laughed softly. “I feel more like a spectator today. I’m as big as a house, Ellen. Don’t expec

    SHANE “Time for a shower,” I suggested, my voice gravelly with exhaustion and renewed want. “We’ve… made a mess.”She turned in my arms, her dark eyes sparkling with mischief. “I suppose we have.” Her fingers traced a slow, possessive line down my chest. “And I intend to make an even bigger one.”She took my hand and led me the few steps into the glass-walled shower. She turned the knob, and a cascade of hot water instantly rained down on us, washing away the sweat and the evidence of our passion from our skin. It streamed over her hair, plastering the dark strands to her neck and shoulders, beading on her eyelashes.She reached for a bottle of body wash, pouring a generous amount into her palm. The scent of sandalwood and vanilla bloomed in the humid air. She turned to me, her expression one of intense concentration. “Let me take care of you,” she murmured, her voice almost lost under the spray.Her soapy hands landed on my chest, and I groaned at the sensation. The slick, warm slip
