Starr was wrapped up by Chris' clad body, pressed up against him firmly. His hands cupping both her breast, their legs intertwined, on the couch. It was like that very couch, that become their bed and fuck zone.
Still coming from her high walls, Starr could still feel Chris' erection bulge on her unclad butt. He had done nothing about it, and had simply cuddled her instead. From how much he cuddled her, she c

DIAMOND HART SEVENTY-SEVEN
Heather had been turning the ring over in her jacket pocket for two weeks, ever since watching Sorcha cry happy tears through Starr's entire wedding speech, ever since realizing, with a clarity that had startled her, that she wanted exactly this kind of day for herself, and specifically for herself with this particular loud, warm, endlessly generous woman who had somehow talked her way past every careful boundary Heather had built over years of protecting her own heart.She chose their apartment for it, deliberately, no elaborate rooftop or candlelit restaurant, just the small, cluttered space they'd moved into together only weeks earlier, boxes still stacked in corners neither of them had gotten around to unpacking, because she wanted Sorcha to understand that this proposal wasn't about spectacle. It was about the ordinary, comfortable, unremarkable life she wanted to keep building with her, one cluttered box at a time."You're being weird," Sorcha said, wandering int
DIAMOND HART SEVENTY-SIX
The reception spilled out onto a wide lawn strung with the same warm lights from the ceremony, long tables set beneath a canopy of trees, the smell of jollof rice and grilled meat drifting from a catering setup Sorcha had insisted include every dish that mattered to their family. Starr sat at the head table beside Christopher, her new ring catching the last of the evening light, watching the whole scene unfold with a happiness so complete it almost felt unfamiliar."Time for speeches," Magnus announced loudly, tapping his glass with far more enthusiasm than the utensil probably deserved, standing before anyone had officially cued him. "As best man, and honestly, as the man most responsible for this entire relationship existing in the first place, I demand the floor.""You did not single-handedly cause this relationship," Starr called out, laughing."I dragged you to that club, didn't I?" Magnus said, unbothered. "I rest my case." He cleared his throat theatrical
DIAMOND HART SEVENTY-FIVE
The morning moved in a blur of soft chaos, Sorcha and Heather fussing over Starr's hair while her mother fretted over the flowers, Amber arriving early with a garment bag containing something she refused to explain until the exact right moment, Iris passed between eager arms all morning, dressed in a tiny cream outfit that made everyone who held her make some variation of the same helpless, delighted sound."Hold still," Sorcha instructed, carefully pinning a final curl into place. "You're worse than Iris.""I am not fidgeting.""You have fidgeted through this entire process." Sorcha stepped back, studying her work with satisfaction. "There. Perfect."Starr turned to the mirror, and for a long moment simply stood there, taking in the dress Heather had finished exactly as promised, the soft off-white fabric moving like water, the traditional print worked delicately into the sash at her waist, subtle enough that only someone looking closely would recognise
DIAMOND HART SEVENTY-FOUR
Tradition, according to Starr's mother, dictated that the bride and groom not see each other the night before the wedding, and though Starr had scoffed initially, insisting she didn't put much stock in tradition for tradition's sake, she found herself surprisingly moved by the small ritual of it, gathered in her mother's living room with Sorcha, Heather, and her mother, Iris asleep in a portable crib in the corner while Christopher spent the night at Magnus and Valentine's apartment across town."Nervous?" her mother asked, settling a warm cup of tea into Starr's hands, the same way she had every difficult evening throughout Starr's childhood, as though tea alone had the power to steady whatever storm was passing through."Not the way I expected to be," Starr admitted, wrapping her hands around the cup. "I thought I'd be anxious about the ceremony itself, the speeches, all of it. But mostly I just feel this enormous, quiet certainty. Like I've been walking toward this
DIAMOND HART SEVENTY-THREE
Magnus had declared, with the full theatrical authority of a man who considered himself an expert in celebration, that there would be no boring bridal shower under his watch, and so the evening had evolved, somewhere between the invitations going out and the actual event, into something closer to a full takeover of Starr's apartment, string lights and balloons crowding every surface, a table groaning under more food than six people could reasonably finish."I said small," Starr said, surveying the chaos with her hands on her hips, Iris balanced on one arm."This is small," Magnus said, offended. "For me, this is practically a quiet night in.""There is a chocolate fountain, Magnus.""There is one chocolate fountain," he corrected, "which is a completely reasonable amount of chocolate fountain for an engagement this significant."Sorcha appeared from the kitchen with a tray of something involving considerably more glitter than food usually required,
DIAMOND HART SEVENTY-TWO
Starr found the old notebook by accident, tucked into a box of things she'd finally worked up the courage to unpack from storage now that her apartment had slowly, steadily become a home built for three instead of one. The cover was worn soft at the edges, her handwriting from years ago cramped and urgent across every page, half finished stories she'd abandoned somewhere around the same time she'd decided the safest thing to be in life was unshakeable.She sat on the floor of her closet for nearly an hour, reading pages she barely remembered writing, watching an entirely different version of herself unfold across the paper, someone hopeful and unguarded in a way she hadn't let herself be again until Christopher walked into her life and slowly, patiently, coaxed that person back out of hiding."What's that?" Christopher asked later that evening, finding her at the kitchen table with the notebook open in front of her and a fresh page of her laptop glowing blank and waiti

Chris Chariton.Chris Chariton was the last person Starr was willing to see at that point in time, but it was the public, 'the will to see' law didn't apply there.He has a wide grin on, a grin wide enough to contain the lounge. "The club is the last place I'd have ever
DIAMOND HART THREE
"You my dear friend, need to step out of this house," Magnus said to Starr. Magnus was the only person who Starr sometimes spent time with or talked about personal or mundane things with. Magnus had been there with her through thick and thin, through unexpected hits and decisions. He was the only o

At the click of her black Jimmy Choo's Lance heels on the office white tiles, heads began to turn and people began to trace their way to their offices and cubicles in fear. Starr Hart cat-walked in her wine button up bodycon gown, swaying her hips in the most perfect manner as her thick brown cur
