Sienna’s POV

I held the half-finished latte cup in my hands. The steam had faded, no longer warm, its aroma blending faintly with the scent of cinnamon from the wooden table and the sweet bread on display. Across from me, Sarah sat with a gaze far softer than when we first met. She seemed calmer now—perhaps because she’d said all she needed to, or maybe because she could see I was finally beginning to open up.

We didn’t speak much after that. Just light conversation to fill the pauses. But for me, those pauses felt necessary. As if they gave my soul space to catch its breath.

After sipping the last drop of her coffee, Sarah placed her cup down gently. “I hope you find what you’re looking for, Sienna. In life... and in your writing.” Her voice was soft, but steady.

I could only nod. Not because I knew what I was looking for—because, truthfully, I didn’t—but because now, at least, I knew I had to start looking. That I couldn’t keep hiding behind the small seaside room

    Sienna's POV I exerted myself as much as I could to keep this family together. My cooking, writing, and cleaning skills were perfected as if they could mend any broken ties between us.

I was taught to love from a distance. I became accustomed to being alone.Yet, despite everything, there was a portion of me that never truly perished.

    Sienna's POV Once my room door shut, I leaned on it. My breath was still not smooth, my heart racing so quick it seemed like it would never end. Liam's kiss stayed warm, gentle, yet leaving a shake that made my whole body softly tremble.I shut my eyes, trying to calm myself but each time I thought of the way he took me in that hug, I got more and more uneasy. It seemed like a thing that had gone from me for so long had at last come back. A thing I once thought I would not feel from Liam warmth.My hands were still shaking when I touched my lips with my fingers, like to check that what just happened was real. That it wasn’t only my mind going too far, or the calm night, or Liam's soft look making me lose control. No it really happened.I can recall it all so clearly. The way he spoke my name in a soft whisper. The gaze in his eyes that went deep into my mind. And then, before I could even think the space between us disappeared.That

    Sienna's POV While Liam remained still, I turned and whispered "I think, maybe it's time to start over." Instead of answering, he looked up and gave me the impression that it was warming my heart. The verdict follows. Even without words, he understood at that moment.Noah started to feel drowsy just moments later. He leaned into the sofa, his red robot fleeing from his lap. I gazed at him and smirked.His first day at school seems to have left him feeling completely drained.Liam inspected his watch. "It's almost nine. Carry him to his room with me.”I nodded. He stood up, leaned back and lifted Noah with great strength. The little boy wrapped his arms around Liam's neck without waking him up.?... As they made their way towards Noah's room, I observed Liam carefully place his arms in his bed, adjust the blanket, and kiss him on the forehead before departing.Liam sat in silence, shutting the door and keeping it quiet. As he came towards me, h

    Sienna's POV As Liam looked down, I observed his face with a tightening of his jaw and he had stray hair. He was a softly glowing young man who had been exposed to warm light from the lamp above the table. I hadn't had the chance to really see him like this before. He was unlike him, but still had a certain demeanor. He remained the same stubborn man I knew until now, but with a gentle and quiet expression.While using his fork, Noah began to shape spaghetti into small letters on his plate.He exclaimed, "Mommy, this letter is the N!" "Don't try to mess around with your food, okay?" I replied. "Thanks, that's great." He sped away and said, "Just briefly," staring at me with his big pleading eyes.Liam chuckled softly beside him.“This time, we can pardon him,” he said in a lowly voice. He added, "The chef needs some entertainment after his hard work in the kitchen." I gave him a sharp look but couldn't resist chuckling. "You're ruining

    Sienna's POV The main door opened slowly, then came the noise of steps I knew well.Noah quickly turned from his seat and yelled in joy,“Daddy!” before leaping down and rushing to say hi to him.I grinned from the kitchen, still holding a dish I had just cleaned. A bit later, Liam showed up at the entrance of the dining room. His face seemed worn, but his eyes brightened right away when he saw what was there, our jumbled dining table, the smell of tomato sauce in the air and Noah hanging on to his legs.“Well, it seems like I got here at the right time,” he said, glancing down at Noah. “What have you both been doing here?”Noah hit his chest happily. “We made pasta! Mom cooked and I helped mix the sauce!”Liam lifted a brow, staring at me with a small grin. “Really? Then can daddy come for dinner?”I stared at him for a bit, faking to ponder. “Hmm... maybe. But just if you clean your hands first.”He laugh

    Sienna's POV I resorted to minor things, such as warming up the soup I bought, setting the dinner table, and possibly placing toast on my child's plate. It was obvious from the smell of warm food that he was so excited to see it and then invite Liam out for dinner.Just that snapshot brought a smile to my face.It could be that happiness was meant to feel authentic and peaceful, rather than being extravagant or unexpected.The taxi moved again. As Noah fell asleep, the lights of the nearby shops reflected off his face and began to dance across it. Then he slowly lifted his head towards me until it just lay on my arm. I gazed at him without pause, brushing his hair softly to prevent any disturbance. It had that tender pain in my chest, like the discovery of a lost part.I understood that this journey wasn't solely about returning home from school. It was symbolic, a new beginning for us, an emerging friendship, and reassurance that hope would slowly fill the empt
