"I'm so proud of you, Kendrick.""Thanks, Dr. Madison."She smiles, packing up. "You're making real progress."I nod, feeling an odd mix of satisfaction and unease."I'll be back next week but first, I need to speak with Gregory and Mary.""Sure."She performed the surgery that saved my life. Neurosurgery is her field, but for some reason, she also handled my heart. Maybe my mother had something to do with that. She's trained across multiple specialities, so it's possible she guided Dr Madison through it. But no one ever talks about that part, and I've never questioned it out loud, but something about it never sat right with me.I understand why everyone is grateful to her, but I don't get why my mother won't stop praising her and her family—especially her daughter, Veronica. I've looked her up and she happens to be a nurse. If she played any role in my surgery, no one ever says.Then there's the way my parents whisper around her. It makes me wonder if something happened that I wasn'

"Are you okay?" Keisha asks, serving up a plate of rice and chicken soup."Yes. Why?""You've been acting weird.""Weird how?"She leans against the counter, eyeing me. "You're spending extra time at the library than agreed, crashing at my place way too often even though your apartment is practically around the corner. Also you haven't been spending time with David or Sandra, and last night—you were grinning in your sleep."I scoff. "I have no idea what you're talking about."Keisha folds her arms. "Oh, please. I know this pattern. Either you're obsessing over some book again, falling for a fictional character... or you're actually crushing on someone. And God help me, I really hope it's the first."Crushing? On Kendrick? Not in a million years. Sure, he seems different now, but bad boys have never been my thing."What if I got a good job and paid David back? Then I wouldn't have to marry him."Keisha lets out a short laugh. "Okay, it's definitely the books. Thank God. Let's break it

Rose stands before me, and for a moment, I know my mind is playing tricks on me. She's been haunting my thoughts for days, slipping into my consciousness when I least expect it. And now, here she is—except she can't be. It's just my own weakness, manifesting her out of thin air.I shut my eyes, exhaling slowly, as if that will banish the illusion. She's not real. She can't be.But then, she moves."Kendrick?"Her voice is soft, uncertain—so real it sends a chill down my spine. My eyes snap open.She's still there.I rub my face, trying to shake off the ridiculous thought that she's a ghost of my own making. How on earth would she even be here with Mother and Jeffery around? This isn't possible."Is it safe?" she whispers from behind the curtain.A sharp breath leaves me. My own mind wouldn't make this up. The hesitation, the urgency.I slap myself, hard enough to sting.And then I hear it—a quiet chuckle."I'm real," she says. "I came in through the library."Relief and dread wash ove

Today drained me.Clinicals were chaos—one patient after another, no time to breathe, no time to think. I love this career, I really do, but some days squeeze the life out of me. The kind that make me pause. Just for a second. Just long enough to wonder if I'll survive the life I signed up for.David texted earlier.I'm outside.No calls. No extra words. Just that.I hadn't expected him back today. Honestly, I needed a quiet night. Maybe stop by Keisha's later. But instead, I found myself heading to his car, parked away from the entrance, away from curious eyes.Nobody knows about us. Aside from Keisha. His choice. "I'm just being careful," he says. Until we tie the knot, at least.And a small part of me is relieved.Because sometimes, I feel embarrassed.David is attractive. Fit. Takes care of himself. But silver strands lace his hair, a stark reminder of the thirty-seven-year gap between us. And in the public's eyes, that's all they'd ever see.It ain't freezing yet, but you can fee

What a disaster.Dismissing Jeffery for the day was a terrible decision, one I regret the second I try brushing my teeth and nearly knock the sink over. My hand slips. My body jerks. The toothbrush clatters into the basin with a sound far louder than it should be.The shirt I pick refuses to cooperate, fabric twisting against stiff fingers. I manage two buttons before the third laughs at me, slipping free again and again. By the time I get it halfway on, I’m sweating like I’ve run a marathon.I slump back into the wheelchair, chest heaving, frustration burning in my gut.Defeat. Again.No. Not defeat. Not today.I rub a hand over my face, force the tightness in my chest to ease. Maybe if I distract myself, it’ll help. A movie. Anything but this silence. Anything but this room that feels more and more like a cage.I scroll through the library of titles, the colours flashing past too quickly to matter. Horror, maybe? Something sharp enough to jolt me out of this fog. I don’t even bother

Just before I start typing a message to my sister—I love you, here’s what’s happening—I pause.My thumbs hover over the screen, but my eyes lift. I need to check on him. I have to. I need to see if he’s any better. If the tremors have stopped. If he’s still fighting against whatever invisible enemy is clawing at him.His fingers twitch against the armrest, knuckles whitening, muscles rigid. His chest rises too quickly, like each breath is a battle. I wait, heart in my throat. And then—slowly—his body loosens. His shoulders drop, no longer locked in that unforgiving frame. The shaking in his hands ebbs, fading little by little, until his fingers finally fall still.A heavy breath escapes his lips. His eyes remain closed for a second longer, as if clinging to the darkness. Then they snap open—slightly unfocused, hazy, like he’s just surfaced from a nightmare. His jaw tightens. Frustration flickers across his face.“I’m fine,” he mutters. His voice is rough, raw, a whisper dragged over b
