Madeline stiffened, her eyes widening. “I didn’t—”
“Don’t lie,” Nathaniel cut in sharply, his voice piercing. “I saw your eyes on that bridge. You thought everything would end if you jumped. That was the biggest act of foolishness you almost committed.”
Madeline fell silent, her lips trembling. She wanted to deny it, but no words came out.
She lowered her head, clutching the blanket tightly in her lap. Nathaniel’s words struck harder than the night wind had on that bridge. She hated that he was right. She had thought about giving in, about letting her body fall into the rushing river, letting all the pain stop at once.
But hearing him say it out loud left her reeling ashamed, angry, and te

Nathaniel reached for a pen on the table, opened several documents, and began explaining his new plan in detail step by step. Sonia listened closely, occasionally nodding or asking critical questions. The tension slowly began to ease, replaced by a growing sense of professional focus.Yet Nathaniel remained fully aware. Every word, every decision, every move had to be weighed carefully. Because it wasn’t only his reputation at stake, but also the fragile yet precious relationship between himself and Madeline and between himself and Sonia.Nathaniel stayed calm, patient, and meticulous. Sonia remained critical, attentive, and at times challenging, but Nathaniel managed to balance that tension with a mature, professional approach.Nathaniel looked at the documents in front of him, drawing a long breath before beginning to explain his new plan. Sonia sat across the table, her posture firm, though her eyes revealed a curiosity she c

Sonia scoffed and straightened her back. “You’ve always been good with words, Nathaniel. But words alone aren’t enough. Your actions back then your actions now they all have consequences. There are many people who still doubt your decisions.”Nathaniel looked at her not angry, only restraining himself from responding sharply. “I understand their doubts. And I’m not asking everyone to immediately trust this decision. But I’m confident if we focus on the results, everything will prove itself.”Sonia crossed her arms over her chest, tension still etched on her face. “Focus on the results? I’ve learned a lot from the past. But what I see is that you came back too quickly, without considering the emotional impact. Do you really think that just by taking over the project again, everyone will simply follow your orders?”Nathaniel nodded slowly. “I don’t expect everyone to follow blindly. But

The night continued in a comfortable silence. They both knew challenges would come from third parties, unresolved pasts, mounting work problems. But for the first time, they felt ready to face them together, not alone.As the city lights began to dim in the middle of the night, Nathaniel looked at Madeline and said, “Sleep. We have many things waiting tomorrow but for tonight, it’s just the two of us. There’s no outside world.”Madeline smiled, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered, “No outside world just you and me.”The next morning, sunlight slipped gently through the curtains of Nathaniel’s office. The atmosphere was still quiet, broken only by the soft hum of the coffee machine. Madeline sat in the guest chair, adjusting to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, while Nathaniel stood near his desk, reviewing documents with a slight frown.“Morning,” Madeline greeted softly, her voice warm wi

“Aren’t you afraid of everything that’s happened? Of me, of my work, of our future?” Madeline asked seriously, her eyes softly glowing from the park lights coming through the window.Nathaniel looked down at their hands intertwined. “I’m afraid. But I’m more afraid of losing you again. I’ve restrained myself for too long, pretending to be strong on the outside, while my heart has known what it wants.”Madeline smiled faintly. “And now you aren’t holding back anymore?”Nathaniel raised his eyebrows, slightly mischievous, but his eyes remained gentle. “Maybe I’m still holding back a little. But that’s because I want you to savor every step slowly. I don’t want to rush and ruin this moment.”They laughed softly, a light yet warm sound, like medicine healing the remnants of awkwardness and fear that had piled up.“Then,” Madeline said, cupping Nathaniel’s chin, “I want you to promise. Promise that you’ll stay like this stay with me, no matter what.”Nathaniel looked at her deeply. “I prom

“I can hire a whole new department if necessary,” Nathaniel replied haughtily.“Don't be a spoiled brat,” Madeline patted his arm.Nathaniel grinned slightly. “You said start from scratch. I was just following orders.”Madeline laughed briefly. It felt like it had been a long time since she'd laughed without fear.Then her laughter faded, replaced by a serious expression. “Nathaniel.”“Hm?”“I want to fix a lot of things, too.”Nathaniel turned his head. “For example?”Madeline stared at her hands.“You might have felt too often that I was distant. Or that I didn’t trust you.”Nathaniel didn’t deny it. “Yes.”Madeline bit her lower lip. “I’m sorry.&rdquo

Madeline became quiet. Then she nodded.Nathaniel led her to the bathroom. He switched on the tap, set the water to the temperature, moistened a small towel and then looked at her once more.“May I?" he inquired.Madeline exhaled softly, her cheeks reddening with shame. "Yes.”Nathaniel softly raised her chin using his hand while his left hand tenderly cleansed her face with the warm towel. His actions were deliberate and careful as though she were the treasure he had ever handled.Madeline shut her eyes, relishing the feeling. "You are being quite gentle.”Nathaniel kept going, merely lifting one eyebrow a little. "Naturally. If I were harsh you’d be annoyed.”Madeline smiled. “I wouldn’t be upset.”Nathaniel stopped the movement. “No?”Madeline opened her eyes and looked at him. “No. Because I know you’re watching over me.”Something softened in Nathaniel’s eyes.Time seemed to stop for a moment.Then Nathaniel took her face in both hands, pressing their foreheads together like they
