The night air felt softer after dinner.

Warmer.

Or maybe it was just the way Mona's hand fit in Kane's as he led her out of the restaurant, steady and sure, like he already knew exactly what came next.

He opened the car door for her, and she slipped inside, smoothing her dress as she settled in. There was still a quiet glow on her face from dinner, a mix of nerves and something softer.

Something new.

    The night air felt softer after dinner.Warmer.Or maybe it was just the way Mona's hand fit in Kane's as he led her out of the restaurant, steady and sure, like he already knew exactly what came next.He opened the car door for her, and she slipped inside, smoothing her dress as she settled in. There was still a quiet glow on her face from dinner, a mix of nerves and something softer.Something new.Kane got in beside her, started the engine, and pulled into the road without explaining.Mona watched him for a moment."Where are we going?" she asked finally."You'll see."Of course.She huffed softly, turning to look out the window again, though her curiosity sat right at the front of her mind now.The drive wasn't long.Ten minutes, maybe fifteen.Then the car slowed.Stopped.Mona blinked, looking up at the storefront in front of them.Glass.Lights.Mannequins dressed in clothes that looked like they belonged in magazines."Oh."Kane stepped out, walking around to her side before o

    Mona let out a long breath as she dropped the paintbrush back into the bucket, the soft clink echoing in the quiet apartment. "Finally," she murmured, stepping back. The walls looked different now. Cleaner. Brighter. For a moment, she just stood there, hands on her hips, taking it all in. A small smile tugged at her lips despite the ache in her arms. She did that. On her own. Her thoughts drifted, uninvited, back to earlier. To Kane. To the way she had practically begged him to drop her off. He hadn't liked it. She could see it in his face, hear it in his voice when he told her she should just stay with him for the day. But he didn't understand. He didn't have to think about rent expiring. About losing a place because you couldn't afford to keep it. About how quickly things could fall apart. Mona shook her head slightly, pushing the thought away. One thing at a time. She was doing this. Fixing things. Moving forward. A faint sound pulled her attention toward the d

  • KANE   Bubbles

    Kane sat on the edge of the marble counter in his bathroom, arms resting on his knees, eyes fixed on the oversized bathtub across from him.Mona was buried in it.Completely.Only her head peeked out from the thick layer of bubbles, foam piled high around her like she had disappeared into a cloud.When they got to his place, she hadn't said much.Just stepped into the living room, exhaled slowly, then turned to him with that soft voice."May I use your bathtub now?"He had nodded immediately.Of course.And now here they were.Thirty minutes later.And he was waiting.Patiently.Ready for the moment everything inside her would finally crack open.Because he knew it would.You don't go through something like that and stay okay.Not really."You should get some fruity body wash," Mona said quietly, her voice barely breaking the silence.Kane's gaze shifted to her.A small smile tugged at his lips despite everything."Yes, princess," he replied. "I'll get them."Her head tilted slightly,

    "This is bullshit!"The voice cut through the noise just as Kane stepped out of McLauren's office, irritation already sitting heavy on his shoulders. The meeting had dragged longer than it should have. Too many words. Too much circling.But it was done.He was done.With this place.With this life.Or at least... he was supposed to be.The shout came again, sharper this time, pulling his attention downward toward the main floor.Kane's eyes narrowed slightly.Flora.Mona's old roommate.She stood near the entrance to the lower level, her hands flying as she argued with one of the guards, her voice loud enough to turn heads.He moved toward her without hesitation.Flora turned, spotting him instantly.Relief flooded her face."Thank God you're here," she said, grabbing his arm like she needed him to anchor her. "These fucking idiots are accusing Mona of stealing money."Everything inside Kane went still.For half a second.Then it dropped.Hard.His heart slammed against his ribs, his

  • KANE   Accusations

    Kane stood in the parking lot across from her building, the city noise fading into the background as his focus narrowed to one thing.Her.His grip tightened around his phone before he shoved it into his pocket, jaw set.Patience had never been his strength.And today, he had tried.Tried to give her space. Tried to let her handle whatever she said she was doing. Tried to act like a normal boyfriend who didn't immediately assume something was wrong.It lasted a few hours.That was all.Because when he called her earlier, he heard it.That slight shift in her voice.Too quick and careful.Mona was hiding something.And Kane didn't do well with unknowns.Not when it came to her.So instead of waiting, he did what he always did.He moved.A quick visit to someone who owed him a favor. A quiet conversation with a private investigator who knew how to find things people didn't want found.Nothing too deep.Just enough to confirm what his instincts were already telling him.Something was off

    Kane had dropped her off early.But Mona had smiled, waved, and told him she had things to handle. He had watched her walk inside with that look in his eyes, the one that said he wasn't fully convinced.Now she stood in the middle of her new apartment.Empty.Quiet.Yours, she reminded herself.The place had been cleaned, just like Gerald promised. The floors were swept, the air smelled faintly of disinfectant, and the windows had been wiped down enough to let light spill in.But Mona could still see it.The missed corners.The dullness.The feeling that it wasn't really hers yet."Not good enough," she murmured, tying the apron tighter around her waist.She grabbed the bucket, filling it halfway with water before pouring in bleach without measuring. The sharp scent hit immediately, burning slightly at the back of her throat."Better."She got to work.Scrubbing the floor.Then the walls.Then the bathroom again, because there was no way she trusted that space without going over it he
