Sienna's POV

I stared at the city lights in the distance, glittering like shards of glass scattered in the night air. The wind carried the scent of salt and a faint trace of fuel from fishing boats docked somewhere far away. My legs wanted to move forward, but my body stayed rooted in place, caught between the urge to disappear and the awkwardness that kept me still.

Behind me, I could feel his presence clinging like a shadow. Not because I turned to look, but because the air between us was heavy with something invisible—a mix of distrust, memories, and vigilance neither of us was willing to loosen.

The only constant sound was the waves breaking on the shore. Each crash felt like the ticking of an hourglass, forcing time to move. Strange, how a distance of only a few steps could feel like miles inside my head.

I glanced at the watch on my wrist. Five minutes. Just five minutes to walk home. But those five minutes could easily turn into five hours if I had to

    Sienna's POV There was no sound as the car stopped moving. The radio track transformed into a soothing piano piece. My fingers were intertwined on my lap, and I observed the simple progress we had made, from the stillness of our surroundings to the peaceful conversations we now have.Liam looked at the clock on the dashboard and inquired if he wanted to drive him there.Looking at Liam, I was slightly hesitant. "It's fine, let's take a cab. The office is probably within your reach.”"I'm still here," he said softly, his voice firm but gentle. "My sole desire is for you to safely make your way." I didn't argue. He spoke with a confidence that made me feel. Perhaps I was free to accept that feeling without any guilt.Liam nodded slightly. He had a relaxed feeling in his hands when he was driving, but the tightness of his jaw indicated that sat in thought.Within seconds, he glanced to the side and whispered:“Sienna, If my mother wanted to see you ton

    Sienna's POV The auto went slow between lines of woods dropping their leaves. I looked out the glass, seeing Noah by the school door, waving his small hand at us before rushing in with his pals. His face was so bright, pure, full of joy as usual and seeing him like that I couldn’t help but feel some warmth in my chest.I stayed looking until his tiny shape vanished behind the door then let out a quiet breath and leaned back on the chair. Liam got into his seat, shutting the car door softly before starting the engine.“He seems quite glad these days,” I said with a tiny grin.Liam looked at me quickly, a small grin on his face. “Because you got him yesterday. He spoke about it all night long”I chuckled soft, but something in my chest shook a blend of happiness and worry. This little feeling of being near still felt fresh to me, like something that once looked hard had now turned true.“He even sketched you in his book” Liam went on

It slips off my face.It's a relief that it doesn't feel depressing.I can now love him again without any fear.The night has arrived with a completely dark sky outside the window, and only the moonlight is still visible through the curtains.With the passing wind, the air is filled with the scent of drizzling rain.I close my eyes again, thinking of Liam and Noah. It has been a long time since I last saw anything like this in my house.The idea of going back may be more accurate, as the heart finally opens up and allows for a change. The night grows deeper.

Why?Despite the uncertainty surrounding our relationship, I have hope for something at least.The love I use

    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.?...
