CHAPTER 69: The Blue And Pink Flower

Auteur: Lady Sheldon
last update Date de publication: 2025-12-31 22:18:30

I slept deeply that night, the kind of sleep that pulls you under like a tide, heavy and dream-soaked. The emotional storm of the day, the fight with Noah, the lie to Gage, and the intense reconciliation had left me drained, and my body surrendered completely in his arms.

But even in sleep, my mind wouldn’t quiet.

The dream came slowly at first, like walking into fog.

I was standing on a stage.

Spotlights pinned me in place, and around me were people. Hundreds of them with faces I recognized an

    “That…” I started, but the rest of the sentence died in my throat. My heart was slamming so hard I could feel it in my ears.“Noah.”Mr. James’s voice cut across the garden from the direction of the house. Both of us turned. He was standing near the side door, one hand still on the frame.“Could you come for a moment?”Noah hesitated. His eyes flicked back to me for half a second before he looked toward James again.“Sure.”He stood, crushed the cigarette out against the stone, and walked away without another word.I stayed frozen on the bench, watching him go, heat still flooding my face so intensely I thought I might actually combust. Part of me hoped the ground would open up and swallow me whole right there among the roses.Why did I do that?Why?Why?Why?Have I completely lost my mind?I dropped my face into my hands and just sat there, elbows on my knees, trying to disappear into my own palms. The heat in my cheeks felt permanent and every second that passed only made the memor

    I tilted my head slightly, studying his profile. “I didn’t know you cared about that sort of thing.” He glanced sideways at me, raising an eyebrow. “What thing?” I gave a small shrug. “People.” “People?” “Yeah.” “People?” he repeated, as if the word itself offended him. “… yeah.” He let out a dry, breathy laugh and shook his head, turning his gaze back toward the roses. “Look, I might be an asshole,” he said, taking another quiet drag, “but give me some credit. I’m not a total piece of shit.” I raised an eyebrow, letting a small smirk slip through. “So you’re self-aware.” “I don’t even know what you’re talking about,” he breathed out, trailing a thin plume of smoke past his lips. “Oh, please,” I said, leaning back. “Too late to backpedal. You just used the A-word on yourself.” Noah stared at me for a second, cigarette paused halfway to his mouth. “A-word?” he repeated, disbelief plain in his voice. “You mean Asshole?” “Yeah.” He kept looking at me, longer this time, eyes

    For some reason, that information made me feel awful.“Saraphina?”I blinked and looked up.“Huh?”She was watching me over the edge of the pot, her expression mild but attentive.“Were you really not aware of what he does?” she asked. “Did it take you by surprise?”“Oh—no.” I shook my head quickly. “That’s not it.”It would’ve been more surprising if any of this could still surprise me. I kept that to myself, though. Instead, I just lowered my voice and added:“Really.”She didn’t argue. “You’re done here,” she said. “You can leave.”“Okay.”I set the knife down, wiped my hands thoroughly on the towel she kept near the sink, and stepped away from the counter. “Thank you,” I told her softly and her response was a flick of her wrist that said a quiet ‘go away’. As I pushed through the doorway and left the kitchen, the scent of garlic and herbs still clung to my fingers but it came as a comfort because finding Noah wouldn’t take too long. The man ran on rails when he was home — holed

    I stared down at the scarred prep table, the blade resting idle against a pile of minced vegetables. “She looks so young,” I whispered, my thumb tracing the dull side of the blade. Beside me, she paused mid-stir. The heavy copper pot settled back onto the burner with a soft, resonant clink. She let out a soft, breathy laugh in half agreement and half playfulness. “She does,” she murmured. Then, leaning her hip lightly against the counter, she added, “Just like me, right?” I turned away from the vegetable to look at her. In the warm light of the line, with a stray lock of hair tucked behind her ear and a sly, playful grin softening her lips. A sudden, quiet laugh broke through the hum of the kitchen. “Can’t argue with that,” I admitted, smiling back. “You’ve got me there.” She let out a genuine, musical laugh and set her spoon aside. Wiping her hands on her apron, she moved toward the side counter to peek under the lid of one of the covered dishes. “I see my face every day,” she

    The mansion’s heavy gates swung open with their accustomed slowness as we drew near. Mr. James pulled up near the front steps and cut the engine. Hearing the car, Riley stepped out onto the stone path, walking toward us as we parked. We had been getting along better these past couple of days. Riley wasn’t exactly a bad person. She could be a bit direct but it was still clear she wanted to stay on Noah’s good side in the careful ways she timed her questions or offered help, but she hadn’t pushed the way she used to. For now, that was enough. “Hey,” she said when she reached us, offering me a small smile. “Hi.” Then she turned to Mr. James, who was still by the driver’s door. “Do you have a second?” she asked. He gave a short nod. “Sure.” I left them there and walked up the steps into the house. The front door closed softly behind me, muting the low exchange starting outside. Exhaling a breath, I crossed the foyer and found myself thinking about how everyone here seemed to hav

    SARAPHINA °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ The lecture hall felt more drained than usual. “That’s all for today,” the professor announced, closing his laptop. “We’ll pick up the remaining chapters next week. Try not to fall too far behind.” As chairs scraped and bags zipped, people started filing toward the doors in a half-awake shuffle. I stood, stretching the stiffness out of my shoulders, and gathered my notebook and pen. It was a good thing the semester was almost over. The long drive between campus and the mansion was already wearing on me, and this was only the second day of commuting under Celeste roof. By the time I got back each evening the sun was already lower. I slipped my things into my bag and joined the slow stream of students heading out into the hallway, adjusting the strap on my shoulder and started walking, already calculating how long the ride home would take today when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw Mom’s name on the screen. I stepped to the side of the
