LOGINSienna's POV “That's exactly why I have to try harder.” He reached for my hand and held it tightly. “I don't want my wife to think her husband is too old to do something fun with her.”I stared at him in disbelief. “Who ever said you were too old?”“No one, but I want to make sure you never think that.”I laughed again, then rested my head against his shoulder for a moment. Simple conversations like this felt so wonderful, especially after the past few months, when we had spent more time dealing with problems than enjoying each other's company. I had almost forgotten what it felt like to sit beside Liam without thinking about arguments, disappointments, or things we had yet to discuss.“After this, we should try something else,” Liam suddenly said.I lifted my head. “Something else like what?”“You can choose. Maybe we could take a boat to see dolphins, walk along the beach, or try scuba di
Sienna's POV I gazed at the vast ocean before me and took a deep breath. The Hawaiian wind was quite strong that morning, and my hair kept getting tousled by the breeze, but I didn't really mind. In fact, the atmosphere only made me feel even more excited.Beside me, Liam was talking to one of the staff members. I watched him from a distance, and for some reason, seeing how relaxed he looked made me feel calmer too, even though I had still been having doubts just a few minutes earlier.Parasailing.I couldn't even remember the last time I had done something that made my heart pound like this.“Are you ready?” Liam suddenly returned to stand in front of me.I turned toward him. “Ready.”Liam raised an eyebrow. “Really?”I chuckled. “Why are you asking me that?”“Because your face says otherwise.”I immediately touched my cheek. “What's wrong w
Sienna's POV I approached my bag to take the hat and sunglasses that I had brought along.Liam just looked at me with a smile, as if it made him glad to see that I was so excited."You look like you are eager to go," he mocked."I will not hesitate if we can go," I responded while putting on my sunglasses."And why would we if you have not eaten your breakfast yet?"I sighed dramatically. "Why do you always think of food?""Because you can be so enthusiastic about something that you can forget to eat."I chuckled. "Very well, I will eat." And we went out to have breakfast at the hotel restaurant.On the way there, I kept talking about parasailing and everything else I planned to do in the course of our holiday, while Liam was listening to me with a smile.When we go
Sienna's POV I got up as the morning light slowly came in through the opening in the hotel room curtains. For a bit, I just lay there looking at the ceiling.I was still drowsy, but the soft noise of waves far away made me grin. I turned my head and saw Liam was already up, leaving a spot next to me empty so I let out sm͏all sigh before finally getting out of bed.This morning felt strange, maybe since I knew we still had some days left in Hawaii. I could do what I wanted so I walked to the bathroom.Once I opened the door, I soon smiled. The big tub next to the window had made me think of how nice it would be to sit in it this morning.I filled a tub with warm water, and for some reason I felt like doing something different that morning. I took some blooms from the hotel and softly put them in the water.The flower parts drifted on the top, and I put in some bath soap till white froth hid the wa
Liam's POV Sienna giggled quietly. "You truly have to keep that promise.""I will try."Immediately she raised her head. "Try once more?"I chuckled. "Okay. I will keep my promise.""Alright."Once again she put her head on my shoulder.I just basked in the silence. I would like to keep that calm feeling and forget about all the things that have happened today.My phone that was on the table started vibrating.I immediately turned to it. Sienna also heard it.We both looked at the phone. I could feel my heartbeat accelerate once again.I did not want to answer it. Not now.Sienna looked at me. "You do not want to take it?"I shook my head. "Tomorrow."She nodded. "Alright."A few seconds later it started vibrating once again. This time I just turned it upside down.Sienna said nothing. I got up from the couch."Let us go to bed."She nodded and stood up too. We got dressed and went to bed.T
Liam's POV I strolled next to Sienna as we exited the eatery. My hand was still gripping hers but my thoughts were far from being as peaceful as a bit ago.I tried to seem normal, grinning when Sienna showed the little lights that were around the road near the restaurant. But my eyes kept shifting left and right, and sometimes I looked back at us.I did not even know what I was real͏ly seeking, or maybe I did. I was checking that Wilona wasn't trailing us.I did not spot her, but that just made me more nervous. I had no clue where she went after leaving a restaurant.Has she truly gone back? Or was she still somewhere near here? I took a slow breath."It's beautiful."Sienna's sound pulled me back to the real world. I faced her and noticed that she was gazing at the lines of lights by the street."Yeah."I answered briefly, and Sienna then looked at me.
Sienna's POV I looked at that small face again, and for a moment, the world around me faded. There was something broken inside me, but something else slowly started to come back together. And maybe, just maybe… this is a small step toward something I have yet to understand. “I didn’t ex
Sienna's POVI never imagined I would be sitting at the same table with them. Not in a situation like this. Not in a 24-hour family diner with soft yellow lights and the faint sound of frying coming from the kitchen. But here I am now, sitting next to Noah, flanked by Liliana, while Liam and
Liam’s POV The morning was still gray when I opened my eyes. Sunlight hadn’t fully broken through the curtains yet, but the sound of last night’s rain had been replaced by a silence that felt oddly irritating. Beside me, Emily was still asleep, tucked under the blanket up to her chin. Her face loo
Liam’s POV The sun hadn’t fully risen yet, but the doorbell rang loudly and repeatedly. I had just finished washing my face—hair still a mess, wearing a wrinkled shirt—when I dragged myself toward the door. Before I could open it, Noah’s excited voice rang out as he bolted from the living room.
