“People who know me say that’s a compliment.”I shook my head, then looked at him again. “I don’t have all the answers yet, Liam. About this book, about my career, about us.”“I’m not asking for answers today,” he said quickly. “I just want you to know you’re not alone in looking for them.”There was a brief silence. The clatter of plates from the kitchen reached us faintly. I could feel my own heartbeat, clearer than before.“And Noah?” I asked softly, almost in a whisper. “Are you really ready for all of this?”Liam’s gaze grew deeper. “Noah is part of my life. Of us. He’s not a burden, Sienna. He’s a compass.”That word compass made my eyes sting slightly.I nodded slowly. “I just don’t want him to see us hesitating.”“That’s exactly why I’m here,” he replied. “So if we take a step forward, we do it consciously. Not out of fear, but out of certainty.”I let out a long breath, feeling something in my chest finally settle. This

Liam's POV As soon as Emily stepped out of the meeting room, the atmosphere immediately felt looser. The marketing team busied themselves packing up documents, a few staff members whispering quietly about how “lucky” they were to land a talent of Emily’s caliber.I wasn’t surprised. She really was on a sharp rise. Every brand seemed to be competing to make her the face of their campaign. Though I’d heard she had faded a little some time ago, maybe she was being sought after again now.I took a few seconds myself before stepping out. My hand rested on the doorknob as I drew a slow breath, trying to calm the small, noisy voices starting to stir in my head.Sienna had just returned to finding her rhythm again as a mother and as a career woman. I had just begun to feel that my life was finally a little more stable.And then Emily appeared, just like that, right in front of my meeting room door.I stepped out and walked toward my office. The corridor felt longer

Liam's POV I asked about the visual concept, requested color simulations, and made sure the shooting duration wouldn’t disrupt other agendas. I did everything in a flat, focused tone, as if Emily were just one of many models who had sat in this room before.Yet every time she spoke, there was a brief pause inside me. Not because of longing no but because my mind recognized old patterns before my heart could remind me not to react. I locked my expression in place, maintaining a safe distance.Daniel wrapped up the presentation, sliding his laptop aside. “Overall, that’s the concept. We want to make sure everyone agrees before moving on to the contract stage.”Emily’s manager nodded. “From our side, the schedule is still adjustable. Emily is open to two shooting days, as long as the concept remains consistent.”I crossed my arms, looking at the projected schedule table. “Two days makes sense. But I want a backup option for one additional day to anticipate weather

Liam's POV I remembered this morning, before all of this. Sienna looked tense, her shoulders stiff, her thoughts clearly elsewhere. And now the change was real. Not because I had done anything grand. Just because I was there. Accompanying her. Listening. Not leaving.Maybe that was what she needed all along. And maybe that was what I needed too.I stopped briefly in front of a shop window, catching my reflection in the glass. There were lines of fatigue on my face, the weight of responsibility not light at all. But there was also a steadiness I was only just recognizing. I was no longer simply reacting to circumstances.I was choosing.Choosing to go home earlier. Choosing to call them family. Choosing not to run when things started to feel serious.My hand clenched slightly not from tension, but from certainty.***I had just set my work bag on the desk when Viola appeared from the doorway, her expression as calm and efficient as ever.“Mr. Lia

Liam’s POV We stepped out of the restaurant, and the warm midday breeze greeted us as the glass door closed behind us. Sienna stood beside me, holding the bag and the books she had just bought. She looked calm, a little tired, but her eyes carried something different, a certainty I hadn’t seen in months.We stopped on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant, where several taxis were lined up. The city was busy, yet for us, everything seemed to slow down.“Are you sure you don’t want me to take you home?” I asked again. Honestly, I didn’t like letting her go back alone. I knew she could handle it, but something in me always felt the need to make sure she was safe.Sienna gave a small smile gentle but firm. “It’s okay, Liam. I can take a taxi. You still have to go back to the office, right?”I nodded, even though part of me wanted to find an excuse to stay with her a little longer. But I knew that if I pushed too hard, she would feel uncomfortable. Sienna was tryi

Sienna's POV I slowly turned the glass of water in front of me, watching the tiny bubbles rise to the surface. “Sometimes I feel like I have to be strong all the time. Like if I stop for even a moment, everything will fall apart.”“But it’s usually the opposite,” he said calmly. “Things fall apart because they’re forced to keep standing.”I let out a soft laugh not because it was funny, but because it felt right. “You know, today at the library I finally felt like I was allowed to go slow. I didn’t have to rush to become anything.”“And you suit that version of yourself,” he replied.I lifted my gaze and looked out the window for a moment. Sunlight slipped between buildings, reflecting off passing cars. “I’m afraid that if I enjoy moments like this too much, I’ll just be disappointed again later.”Liam didn’t answer right away. He picked up his napkin and folded it slowly. “Enjoying a moment isn’t a promise that pain won’t come again. It’s a choice to live
