Hey! I Want You Back A Spark, A Glance
The hum of conversation and clicking keyboards filled the Montgomery & Co. workspace as another week began. It was Monday morning, and while most of the team looked slightly dazed from the weekend, Elena was already on her second cup of coffee. She walked briskly to her desk, her tote bag slipping off her shoulder as she sat. The folders she'd carried home for review were still stacked neatly, untouched. She had not exactly been able to maintain focus. "Morning," Sophie said from her desk across the aisle, eyes briefly flicking up from her screen. "You look...tense." Elena offered a faint smile. "Just need to get through today." Sophie gave her a knowing look but didn't press further. "I saved you one of the cinnamon rolls from the break room. Hidden behind the decaf pods, away from the prying eyes and greedy hands of Derek." Elena chuckled softly. "You are a lifesaver." She opened her laptop and let it boot. Her laptop chimed as her inbox filled with the usual Monday pile
Hey! I Want You Back A Glimpse Of Grace
The city was unusually quiet that morning. Elena slipped into a pair of jeans, a pink sweater, and her favourite coat. No makeup, no noise- just her, the wind, and a craving for a caramel macchiato she had not indulged in for a while now. She spotted the new café on the corner of Fifth and Elm-Brew & Bloom. Clean glass, soft jazz, warm wood accents. It smelled like fresh cinnamon and possibilities. Why not? She thought, pushing the door open. Inside, it buzzed softly with early risers. A young barista welcomed her with a tired but kind smile. The name on his tag was 'Henry'. Elena ordered her drink and found a corner seat near the window. As she reached for her bag, it happened. A server- rushing past with a tray of three steaming cups- stumbled slightly. One cup slipped. The lid gave way. And coffee spilled, right across the sleeve of her coat. Gasps fluttered from nearby tables. The server turned pale. "I- I am so sorry, ma'am, I didn't see- oh God- your coat-" Elena loo
Hey! I Want You Back The Silence Before The Storm
Sunlight steamed through the curtains and cast golden patches across the living room floor. Aria sat cross-legged on the rug right in front of the television. Her concentration was fierce as she stacked brightly-coloured building blocks onto a tower that looked like it was going to fall anytime soon.Elena sat on the couch still in her pajamas. Her legs were tucked beneath her. Sophie handed her a steaming cup of tea and for herself a steaming cup of coffee. She sipped her cup of coffee as she lazily flipped through a digital movie catalog on the tablet on her lap."I was thinking we could have a movie night this evening just before bed time." Sophie said.Just then, Elena's phone buzzed on the coffee table by her side. She picked it up and as soon as she did that, she read the content of the message she had received."Charity brunch. Today. 11 AM," she said.She heaved a sigh as she silenced her phone.Sophie giggled. "Do you plan to ghost Callahan's networking opportunities? He's de
Hey! I Want You Back The Shadow Of Her
Every place speaks something. Hers spoke silence.She sat on the edge of her creme leather couch, her left heel still on, the other kicked somewhere in the room. A half filled glass of red wine sat untouched in hr hand. The room she was in remained still as if it was expecting her to do something. It was as admirable as it could be. It didn't look like a soul stayed there at all. But she did.There it was-a photograph on the console. There was a company retreat a few springs ago. The photograph was taken at sunset on the rooftop bar of the hotel they had stayed in. The man she loved stood beside her in a tailored beige suit. One hand was in his pocket and the other resting on the back of her chair. And he was smiling. His smile did not look forced or anxious.But she knew. He wasn't smiling at her.She picked up the frame from the console and began to trace the edge of the frame.She remembered the time he used to smile at her, cancel meetings just to be with her, whisper things as so
Hey! I Want You Back Fractured Memories
As the clock struck 10:45 PM, the rain taps could be heard audibly as it hit the windowpane. At this time, Aria was asleep, Sophie was busy with her book in her room and Elena was on the edge of her bed with her journal in her hands, flipping through the past pages. As she flipped through the pages, something caught her attention. The ink on the said page was slightly faded. "He bought us two tickets to a jazz night I casually mentioned once, and he was not even a fan of jazz. I caught him watching me more than he listened to the music so many times that night. It was that night I knew. It was that night I knew he loved me. And that scared me more than anything else. I did not know how to hold something that felt so big. A small laugh escaped her lips, watery and real. She remembered the way he leaned towards her that night. It was as if the music gave him a bit of courage- enough to close the distance between them. Tears welled up in her eyes. They were gentle and unhurried. These
Hey! I Want You Back Between The Lines
There she was-home As she stepped in, the dim light radiated her skin as the soft gum of the refrigerator filled the silence. Aria was on the couch, all curled up. A blanket was tucked around her legs, as her favourite stuffed bunny rested in her lap. Sophie offered a gentle smile as she saw Elena walk in. She kept the book she was reading face down on her laps. "Hey, Elena," she said almost whispering. "How did your meeting turn out?" Elena did not answer right away. She set her bag on the counter. She pulled off her heels and walked towards Aria. She placed the back of er right palm on Aria's forehead. As soon as she did this, she heaved a sigh because she realized that Aria's fever had eased a little. "It went well," she said trying to maintain her cool. "Everything is set." Sophie studied Elena and decided not to push it. "Okay, that's good." Elena's eyes were fixed for rather too long on Aria. Her jaw was too tight to match her words. She sat on the floor next to the couch
