Sophia’s POV

The following morning, I had barely slept. My mind kept spinning, filled with worry and uncertainty. Would Jacob come back? Why would he, after all ? I was just a stranger he helped . The loneliness weighed on me heavily, suffocating the little hope I had left.

A soft knocked interrupted my thoughts. The door opened, and Jacob stepped in , holding a small bouquet of flowers. His expression was calm but kind, as if he was determined to be here for me even yho I didn't know why .

“Morning, Tasha,” he said, walking over to my bedside.

“ Morning,” I replied, my voice hoarse.

“ How are you feeling? His eyes searched my face, genuinely concerned.

“ Better,” I lied , forcing a smile that didn't quite reach my eyes.

Before he could respond, Dr. Seth came in, clipboard in hand . He gave Jacob a polite nod and then turn his attention to me . “ Good morning, Sophia. There's something important we need to discuss about your health.”

My stomach churned with anxiety.

“ What is it?”

    Sophia's footsteps crunched softly against the damp earth as she near the back of the Edge Cafe. The old, weather building looked silently in the early morning mist, the neon sign above flickering faintly as if struggling to wake up the rest of the world. Beyond the cafe, the narrow path led down toward the stream, the gentle sound of flowing growing louder with each step.Her heart pounded, every beat echoing in her ears as she slowed her pace. The air smelled of earth and dew, a crispness that clung to her skin. She scanned the area, heyws sharp beneath the shadow of her hoodie. The place was eerily still. No movement. No sign of Sarian.Yet.Her phone buzzed in her pocket, and she pulled it out, her stomach twisting. It was a message from Ethan.I'm on my way. Stay where I can find you.Sophia's thumb hovered over the reply button, but she hesitated. Ethan was coming, but what if she couldn't wait? What if Sarian was already there, watching, waiting for her to be alone?A soft, co

    He hesitated, clearly torn between his duty and command. “ Ma'am, please—”“ I'll be fine,” she interrupted gently but firmly. “ No one follows me.”The guard clenched his jaw, clearly uncomfortable with the idea, but reluctantly nodded. “ Be careful,” he muttered, watching as she slipped through the gate and disappeared into the early morning haze.The air outside was crisp, almost biting, but Sophia barely felt it. She pulled the hoodie over her head, tucking her head Inside as she walked briskly down the street. Every stepped echoed in her ears, mingling with the rapid best of her heart.Her phone vibrated in her pocket, and she quickly pulled it out. A message flashed across her screen.I knew you'd come around . Meet me behind the cafe, down to the stream.Sophia scoffed slightly, shaking her head.She glanced at the time 5:20 AM . Time ws slipping fast. Without thinking too much, she opened her messages and quickly typed to Ethan.Meet me behind the cafe, down to the stream.Her

    Sophia wiped at her damp cheeks, her body trembling with the emotional weight pressing down on her. The memories were still disjointed, flickering in and out like a broken film reel, but they were there. She could feel them clawing their way to the surface, demanding to be acknowledged.She sniffed and reached for her phone, her fingers shaking slightly as she unlock the screen. Her first instinct was to call Ethan, to hear his voice, to confirmed what she had just remembered. But as her thumb hovered over his contact, she hesitated.A call felt too much right now. Too raw. To ok personal.Instead, she swiped over to her message, her mind racing with the right words to say. Her pulse thrummed loudly in her ears as she typed out a message.Let's meet. I want to know, and give you what you truly want. Maybe then, I can even get my full memories back.Her thumb hovered over the send button. She bit her lip, her heart hammering in her chest.Was this the right thing to do?Part of her wa

    Jacob leaned in gentt, his lips brushing Sophia's forehead with a tenderness that made her chest tighten. It was a simple gesture, but it carried unspoken words, emotions layered beneath years of complicated history.“ Goodnight, Sophia,” he whispered softly against her skin, lingering for just a heartbeat before stepping back and walking towards the guest room.Sophia stood there for a moment, rotted in place. She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of his touch lingering even after he'd left. But beneath that warmth, there was a faint unease, a hollow echo in her chest that she couldn't explain.Later that night, the apartment was cloak in silence. The soft hum of the refrigerator was the only sound, punctuated occasionally by the faint creaks of the old floorboards settling. Sophia drifted into a restless sleep, the exhaustion finally pulling her under.But sleep did not bring peace.Sophia found herself standing in the middle of an unfamiliar room dimly lit, shadows clinging to t

    Sophia leaned against the wall in the quiet hallway, her arms loosely crossed over her chest. The soft glow from Raven's nightlight spilled faintly into the corridor, casting long shadows that seemed to echo the lingering questions in her heart. Jacob stood a few feet away, his hands in his pockets, watching her with that steady, unreadable gaze.“ Ummm, Jacob…” She began hesitantly, her voice low but carrying the weight of her thoughts. “ The last time….I didn't mean to pry, but in London, you said you were in Canada for….umm, family.”She paused, frowning slightly as she searched the corners of her hazy memory. “ But you've never mentioned anything about family before. Bedside Aunty Katherine.”Jacob's casual demanor shifted subtly. His mind faded, replaced by something guarded. He rubbed the back of his neck, avoiding her eyes for a moment.“ It wasn't family,” he finally admitted, his voice quieter than before.Sophia's brow knit together. “ Then who.”Jacob exhaled sharply, lean

    Jacob had just stepped out of Raven's room, rubbing the back of his neck, exhaustion etched into his features. He'd been pacing around, worried when Sophia had been longer than expected. The hospital corridor was eerily quiet, the hum of florescent lights buzzing faintly above.As he turned the corner, he froze. There was Sophia standing with Ethan, both of them visibly shaken, Ethan's hand still resting protectively on Sophia's arm. Her face was pale, her breathing uneven, and Ethan's jaw was clenched tight, his body tense as if ready for a fight.Confusion flashed across Jacob's face, his brows knitting together as he rushed toward them. His eyes darted from Sophia's trembling form to Ethan's hardened expression.“ Sophia, are you okay?” his voice was laced with concern, his gaze searching hers for answers.Before Sophia could find her voice, Ethan spoke, his tone sharp and edged with frustration. “ It's Sarian. She showed up.”Jacob's eye darkened instantly, his jaw tightening as t
