LOGINSienna's POV
I was still silent after sharing my worries with Liliana.“You’re human, Sienna. You’re allowed to hope. You’re allowed to be afraid. But you also have the right to be happy. If Liam truly has changed, and you feel there’s a small space to trust again then you’re allowed to try,” Liliana said, her voice tinged with concern.A small smile touched my lips, though tears threatened to fall. “Thank you.”“Always,” she replied softly. “But if he hurts you again, I’llLiam's POV “Because I want to learn.”I smiled faintly.“To learn how to be a better husband.”Sienna fell silent. A few seconds later, she took my hand, which was resting near the gear shift, and I looked down at our hands.“You don’t have to be perfect.”I turned to her.“All I need is Liam.” I could not say anything. I simply tightened my grip around her hand.If only she knew how much guilt I had been hiding all this time. If only she knew what had happened that night.I immediately pushed the thought away. I did not want to ruin this morning.I wanted to keep a smile on her face. At least for today.“Okay.”Sienna looked at me.“Okay, what?”“I’ll keep being Liam.”She let out a soft laugh.“Good.”I smiled at her. By the time we arrived at Noah Light Foundation, the children immediately greeted Sienna with excitement.I smiled as I watched her. Whenever she was surrounded by children, Sienna’s expre
Liam's POV That morning, I woke up earlier than usual. I had even deliberately set my alarm before the sun had fully risen. After making sure Sienna was still asleep, I went downstairs to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.I did not know when the last time was that I had done something like this. Maybe it had been far too long.I arranged eggs, toast, fruit, and a warm cup of tea on the table. It was simple, but I hoped it would be enough to make her morning a little more pleasant.A few moments later, I heard the sound of footsteps. I turned around and saw Sienna standing in the doorway with her hair still slightly messy.Her eyes immediately widened when she saw the dining table. “You made all of this?”I smiled at her. “Good morning.”She walked closer. “Why are you already awake?”“I just felt like waking up early.”Sienna looked at the food on the table. “You didn’t have to go through all this trouble.”I pulled out her chair
Sienna's POV "I don't like that feeling."He raised his face and stared into my eyes. There was fear in his gaze that I had not seen so many times."I don't want to lose you."I pressed my bottom lip between my teeth. There was sincerity in his eyes, and it slowly tore down all walls I had built to protect my heart."I don't want to lose you too."Liam smiled gently. There was warmth in his gaze that tightened my chest."Then we'll fix everything."I nodded. The idea that I can fix our relationships seemed realistic to me."Together.""Together."He got up and went to another side of the bed. I observed how he turned off the central light, leaving only the little lamp at the bedside.It immediately became darker in the room. Soft shadows appeared in it.Liam lay down next to me. For several minutes, none of us said anything.I could hear his breathing next to me. This familiar sound brought back the memories that were almost
Sienna's POV I stepped out of the washroom wearing a towel like a kimono wrapped around my body. My hair was still a bit wet, and the nice smell of the scrub I used before stayed softly on my skin.I walked to the bedroom but my feet suddenly froze when I saw something on the bed. The night dress there was pretty neat.I frowned as I looked at it. It was the nightdress I used to put on a lot, one I had not seen in a real long time.I looked at it for a bit until Liam's voice brought me back. "You still look pretty when you wear that"I looked at him. Liam stood close by, all changed and seeming ready to have a shower.I pointed at the nightgown on the bed. "This?"Liam nodded. "Yes."I stayed quiet for a bit. "I didn't put it on in a long while""I know," Liam said with a little grin. "I just thought maybe you can wear it tonight."My eyes went back to t
Sienna's POV Liam entered the bathroom once again, leaving me alone in the living room. I looked at the bouquet of roses that I put on the table just minutes ago.I touched the petal with my fingertips. The evening seemed different but not unpleasant in any way. It was quite the contrary. Liam was the old Liam, the one who paid attention to all those little details that only I seemed to notice, who was aware of the fact that I did not appreciate overly sweet food, and who always knew when I was tired, even when I did not say anything.This time, he even remembered that cake which was my favorite. I took a deep breath. Maybe I have been thinking too much lately.It was about time to stop worrying about what happened and start focusing on what Liam did right now. He was really trying, and I could see this from everything he had been doing lately – starting from the flowers he brought me in the morning, ending with the way he held my hand.Now, he had even pre
Sienna's POV The car finally pulled into the driveway of our house.I opened my eyes slowly as the sound of the engine faded. I had no idea how long ago I fell asleep and it seems like the drive home had taken less time than expected because I was truly tired from that day.I turned my head sideways. Liam seemed to be watching the road ahead of him.We parked right in front of the house. A few seconds later, Liam switched off the engine."We're home."I nodded. "Yeah."I was about to open the door by myself, but Liam was already out of the car. In a second, the door on my side was opened.Liam was standing there with an open hand extended towards me."Be careful."I looked at his hand for a few seconds before I took it. "I can get out by myself.""I know."Liam gave me a slight smile. "But I would like to help you."I didn't say anything. I just let him hold my hand as I got out of the car. And once again, his answer was the
Sienna's POV Liam stepped closer, placing a hand on Noah’s shoulder, his gaze full of pride. “You did great today.”Noah smiled shyly, then looked at Bam, who stood a few steps away from us, clutching his new bag tightly. Without hesitation, Noah reached for Bam’s hand and said, “Come on
Sienna's POV The room was already dark when I finished placing the book I’d been reading on the nightstand beside the bed. The soft patter of rain outside the window made everything feel calm, as if the world itself was taking a long breath before sleep. Noah had been fast asleep for ne
Sienna’s POVThe trip to the library felt shorter than usual, maybe because my thoughts were still warm with what had happened at school earlier. The scenery outside Liam’s car window moved slowly, rows of trees, small shops, traffic lights changing colors but my feelings weren’t fully t
Sienna's POV Liam gave a smirk, a subtle lift, at the edge of his mouth almost imperceptible unless closely observed.“Alright, alright. I’m on my way.”I accompanied them to the entrance. The crisp morning breeze flowed inside chilly yet invigorating. Noah hopped
