The bell above the diner door chimed softly as I stepped in, the sound oddly comforting in a way I wasn’t prepared for. The air smelled like coffee and something buttery, warm, lived-in, like the opposite of everything my life had felt like lately. I told myself I was here for food. Just food. Nothing more. I repeated it in my head as I walked in, as if saying it enough times would make it true.

“Back so soon?”

I didn’t even have to look up to know it was him.

I did anyway.

    I saw her before she saw me.For a second, I almost turned around.The front desk area felt too open and exposed, with polished floors reflecting everything too clearly. She stood there like she belonged, like she hadn’t just walked back into a part of my life I had deliberately shut down.“Elena.”I didn’t say it out loud.Not yet.She turned.Like she felt it.Our eyes met, and there it was. Recognition. Immediate. Unavoidable.“Nina.”My name sounded different in her voice. Softer. Familiar in a way that felt wrong now.I stopped a few steps away from her, my posture straightening automatically, my expression locking into something controlled.“What are you doing here?” I asked, my tone even, but not warm.She smiled faintly, like she expected that. “It’s good to see you too.”I didn’t return it. “How did you find me?”“I tried calling,” she said. “You didn’t pick up.”“So you just showed up?” I replied, my brows pulling slightly.She hesitated, just for a second, and I knew someth

    I didn’t realise how quiet my office could feel until it wasn’t.Amy was sitting across from me, legs tucked under her chair, gesturing wildly with a fork like she was presenting a case to a jury. “And then he says, with full confidence, ‘I thought the deadline was next week,’ and I just stared at him like… are you serious right now?”Ralph snorted from the corner, leaning back with his usual detached calm. “That’s not confidence. That’s delusion.”I let out a small laugh before I could stop myself, shaking my head as I picked at my food. “That’s what happens when people don’t read emails.”Amy pointed at me immediately. “Exactly! Thank you. See, this is why I like you.”“You like me because I agree with you,” I replied dryly.“I like you because you’re efficient,” she corrected, then grinned. “The agreement is just a bonus.”Ralph tilted his head slightly, studying me. “You’re in a suspiciously good mood.”I raised a brow. “Am I?”Amy leaned forward, narrowing her eyes. “You’re smili

    By the time I got home, the quiet felt louder than the party.The hallway was dim, the kind of soft lighting that usually made everything feel calm, but tonight it just made the silence heavier. I shifted my bag on my shoulder, digging through it for my keys as I reached my door, my fingers brushing past random things before finally closing around the cold metal.Just as I brought the key up, my phone started buzzing.I paused, already annoyed.I pulled it out, glancing at the screen.Devil Sent.I let out a slow breath, my shoulders dropping slightly as irritation settled in. “What do you want now?” I muttered under my breath, staring at his name like it personally offended me.I didn’t pick up.I ended the call, shoved the phone back into my bag, and unlocked the door.The moment I stepped inside, I kicked the door shut behind me, the sound echoing lightly through the apartment. I dropped my bag onto the couch without care and started toward my bedroom, already reaching for my phone

    The bell above the diner door chimed softly as I stepped in, shaking a few drops of rain from my sleeve. The air inside was warm, carrying the smell of fried food and something sweet, something familiar enough to make my shoulders loosen just a little. It was quieter than usual, a low hum of conversation tucked beneath the steady tapping of rain against the windows.I slid into a booth near the counter, brushing my fingers against the table like I needed to ground myself before I spoke. A woman approached a moment later, her smile easy, practised but not fake.“What can I get for you?” she asked.“Milkshake,” I said, barely glancing at the menu. “Vanilla.”She nodded. “Coming right up.”I hesitated, then added, “Is your boss around?”Her smile shifted slightly, amused. “Kevin? He stepped out, but he’ll be back in a moment.”I nodded. “Okay.”She left, and I leaned back slightly, watching the rain slide down the glass in uneven streaks. My fingers tapped lightly against the table, rest

    The car came to a smooth stop, but I didn’t move immediately. I stared ahead through the windshield, the yacht glowing softly under white lights, its music drifting faintly across the water. Everything about it looked polished, controlled, expensive. Everything about it felt like a mistake.I reached for the handle anyway and pulled.Nothing.I frowned, trying again, a little harder this time. Still nothing.Slowly, I turned my head toward Liam.He was already looking at me.“Open the door,” I said.He didn’t move. “We’re not doing this tonight.”My brows pulled together. “Doing what?”“This,” he replied calmly, gesturing lightly between us. “Whatever this is. We walk in there, we’re civil. No one needs to know there’s tension.”I stared at him, incredulous. “You’re locking me in your car and giving me conditions?”“I’m setting expectations,” he corrected.I let out a short laugh, shaking my head. “Open the door.”“Nina—”“If you don’t open this door right now,” I cut in, leaning slig

    LIAMThere I was, standing outside Nina’s door for a long while, my hand hovering just short of knocking like I was debating something I didn’t want to name. I knocked anyway, the sound controlled and deliberate, sharp against the stillness.There was a pause on the other side. Just long enough to register.Then the door opened.And for a second, I didn’t move.I hadn’t expected her to look like that. I wasn’t sure what I had expected, but it wasn’t this. Something in my chest tightened, subtle but immediate, and I caught it too late to fully hide it. My gaze lingered a fraction longer than it should have before I forced it away, straightening slightly, resetting my expression.She noticed.Of course she did.Before either of us said anything, Amanda appeared behind her, leaning casually against the wall like she had been waiting for this moment. “Well,” she said lightly, her eyes flicking between us, sharp despite the relaxed tone. “This looks… intense.”“Nobody asked you,” Nina mutt
