    No matter how much one tries to ignore it, somehow, doubt always had a way of settling into hearts.‎‎Selene, still leaning by the kitchen counter, couldn't shake the doubt in her heart despite the fact that it's been a long while since Clara went upstairs. Despite having told herself that it didn't matter if Clara was seeing Kyle, the echo of her sister’s words lingered still.‎‎" I would never betray you... I’m doing this for you... I know exactly what I’m doing..."‎‎Selene wanted to believe those words Clara had told her. She truly did. But there had been something unreadable in Clara’s eyes earlier. It was not confidence, nor was it certainty. It was something that unsettled Selene. Something that made her believe Clara was lying, and in fact, oblivious to being the one played by Kyle.‎‎By the time Sarah finished making breakfast and bid Liam goodbye on his way to school, giving up on dropping him off to his complaints about being old enough to walk alone to school, her ches

    ‎Morning dawned far too brightly for Selene’s mood. She had barely been able to sleep as she kept reminiscing her date with Aiden, her mind looping endlessly with the kiss and what it would mean from now on… ‎‎Selene calmly fetched some orange juice in the kitchen and sat by to quench her early morning thirst and slight hangover, yawning and stretching in the process. ‎‎Liam was still upstairs probably still asleep, and Clara? She still wasn't home yet.‎‎However, Selene had no reason to worry as she expected her sister to return later in the morning. This was always how Clara was.‎‎But just then, Selene heard the sound of a car pulling up outside, she could swear she knew whose car it belonged to. But Selene didn't believe it was who she thought it'd be. Afterall, he had no reason to be at her place considering what's been going on between them. ‎‎Regardless, Selene rose to check and confirm if it really was who she thought it was through the peephole.‎‎And as expected, K

    ‎Back at the restaurant, Aiden and Selene had settled deep into the date. Their eyes traced one another, daring to find something they're both looking for.‎‎“So, Selene. I wanted to say first, that, I'm glad we could finally come out here. You know, just the two of us, alone. And after having been talking for a while, I feel like we're finally getting to know each other even better, don't you think?.” Aiden started, his voice was tender, smooth, but a little reserved. Just the right amount of dignity and politeness. ‎‎Selene grabbed her glass of sparkling white wine that he'd poured her and took a sip before responding with an amused chuckle, one that was rare, yet had been so constant all through this date. ‎‎" Likewise, Aiden. I won't lie, you've really been a great sport. I mean, when we met the other day, I really couldn't do without you having jived in to get me out of my mess." Selene said honestly with a wey smile, shaking her head as she stared in her glass. She wasn't

    The restaurant Aiden chose was nothing like the noisy pubs Selene remembered from her youth, neither was it like those she and her ex would go to, just to end up in an heated argument. ‎‎This time, the air was different. ‎‎It was tucked away in the quiet part of town, lit with luminescent lights that set a romantic vibe, passing along just right with the afternoon. The place smelt faintly of rosemary and old wood– pleasant, and nothing too extra.‎‎The low mutter of people chatting in the background was quite far, wrapping the place in a cocoon of intimacy.‎‎' Leave it to a werewolf infested town to know so much about romance.' Selene thought to herself as she looked around, feeling ecstatic. ‎‎For a woman who hadn’t been courted the 'right way' in years, Selene felt disarmed just sitting in there.‎‎It wasn't fancy, but it wasn't any less an ideal choice of a place for a date. ‎‎To put it simply, Selene was impressed.‎‎The thought of Kyle's jealous fit earlier crossed h

    ‎Selene stood in front of the mirror longer than she should have, tilting her head this way and that, brushing down the silk dress Clara had insisted she wear.‎‎ It was a deep red dress, low enough at the neckline to make her second-guess herself, but not scandalous. ‎‎Her reflection didn’t look like a woman who had survived heartbreak. It looked like someone trying to pretend she was brand new.‎‎“You deserve this,” She whispered to the glass. “A fresh start with Aiden. He is kind. He isn’t Kyle.” She told herself, yet the name tasted bitter on her tongue. No matter how hard she tried to scrub it from her mind, the shadow of Kyle lingered.‎‎ His face, his touch, his voice, his cruel indifference that still managed to burn hotter than Aiden’s sweet words ever could. Selene hated that her heart responded even to his silence.‎‎Why? Because he'd played her all too well. And she couldn't get him out of her mind now. She was stuck. ‎‎Regardless, Selene shook the thought out of h

    ‎The door had barely clicked shut behind Aiden when Clara’s voice came shrieking from upstairs like a siren of chaos.‎‎"Did I just hear him ask you out on a date?!"‎‎Selene groaned, dragging her hand down her face. She turned slowly to find Clara already at the top of the stairs, leaning dramatically over the railing like she was watching a soap opera play out in real life.‎‎"Clara, please," Selene warned, shutting the door firmly and locking it for good measure.‎‎Clara gasped theatrically. "You like him! Oh my goddess, this is huge. Ah! I never knew this town still had the hots like it did back in the day." ‎‎" Ah! I wish you'd Just go back to wherever you came from," Selene sighed dryly, walking toward the kitchen to grab a bottle of water.‎‎Clara followed her like a curious cat, barefoot and nosy. "You have a blush. You can't even lie now, that man made you blush. Is this it, is this why you moved back to Erthswall?"‎‎"..." Selene quietly drank her water, avoiding Cla
