NADIA

My head aches—hurting much worse than the nights I stayed up waiting for Felix to come home to me.

By the time I’m done dressing and rearranging my hair, mystery man is already packing my things into my handbag, his movements quick, yet strangely careful. He stretches the bag out to me. My eyes drift from it to his still–heavily masked face.

“I’m—”

He raises a hand to hush me, then wraps his fingers around my wrist and tugs me gently toward him. “You don’t have to say anything. I just nee

    NadiaMy phone lights up on the nightstand. I don’t reach for it. I already have a good idea who it might be, and the thought of dealing with him makes something tight and sour coil in my chest. Not now.I changed into a shirt and shorts from the clothes I left in Laura’s guest bedroom, moving a little too roughly, like the fabric has personally offended me. When I finally pick up the phone, I do it with a long, frustrated sigh, thumb hovering for a second before I unlock it, already bracing myself.Felix: I’m losing my mind here. You didn’t come home. If you don’t show up tonight, I swear I’m filing a missing person report. You can’t do this to me, Nadia.My chest tightens, not with fear but with exhaustion. The words feel loud, intrusive, like hands shaking me when all I want is quiet.Another vibration follows almost immediately.Jo: I had an amazing time today. I keep replaying it, actually. The drive, the laughs, the way you looked at me like you weren’t carrying the weight of th

    JordanI drive with the windows down, letting the night air slap some sense into me.Felix’s house sits across town, tucked into one of those quiet streets that pretend they don’t know what trouble looks like. I’ve been here enough times to memorize every turn, every speed bump, every place a neighbor might be watching from behind half-drawn curtains.I don’t rush. Rushing makes mistakes.When I pull up, the house is dark except for the porch light. Felix is already outside, leaning against the railing like he’s been waiting longer than he claims. His arms are crossed, jaw tight. That familiar mix of control and hurt sits heavy on him.I kill the engine and step out, keeping my expression neutral.“Hey,” I say as I climb the steps and stop beside him.He exhales, long and tired, dragging a hand over his face before nodding toward the door.“Let’s talk inside.”The house smells like coffee and something burned earlier. The living room is neat in that careful, brittle way people get whe

    NADIAI don’t go home to Felix.I know I should. I know it would be easier to walk into whatever is waiting for me and get it over with, but I can’t bring myself to do it, not tonight. I refuse to let the sharpness of that world touch something that felt soft. Honest.Jo.I whisper the name under my breath, letting it settle there, private and fragile. My fingers drum lightly against the steering wheel as I navigate the late-evening traffic, streetlights blinking past in a steady rhythm. The day still clings to me—the laughter, the warmth, the way he looked at me like I wasn’t something broken that needed fixing.I turn toward Laura’s place instead.My phone vibrates. I ignore it until I’m stopped at a red light, then glance down.It’s Asher.Thinking of getting Laura a condo as a wedding gift. Need your thoughts.A smile tugs at my mouth, unexpected but real. I call him immediately.“Hey.”“Nadia,” he says, his voice brightening. “How are you?”“I’m good,” I reply. “How are you holdi

    JORDANThe night settles over Boston the way a held breath finally releases—quiet, warm, and unhurried. By the time we step out of the bar, it’s just past seven, the sky deepening into navy, streetlights flickering on one by one.We decide to explore the city on foot.No plan. No destination. Just walking.We pass through the Common first. The grass is darker now, dotted with people stretched out on blankets, couples talking low, laughter drifting through the air. Nadia slows, taking it all in. She smiles—not the guarded one she wears when she’s thinking too much, but something softer. Something lighter.“I like it here,” she says. “It feels… lived in.”We talk as we walk. About music. About places we’ve been and the ones we still want to see. She tells me what Boston makes her feel—how the old buildings comfort her, how the city feels steady without being suffocating. I listen more than I speak. Watching her react to everything feels more important.We stop by the water. The Charles

    JORDANI know I’m playing a dangerous game with Nadia—walking the thin, treacherous line between love and lust. I keep reminding myself that I can’t pursue anything deeper. Not with everything I have at stake. Not with the kind of life I live. And certainly not when her life is still cemented to a man who happens to be my best friend.That line should be enough to stop me.It isn’t.So I draw a boundary where I can. I tell myself this is temporary. That I won’t reach for more than what the moment allows. I won’t make promises I can’t keep or ask her to choose between worlds that would cost her too much.But the present? The now? That, I can give her. I can offer today. The quiet. The space to breathe. The kind of attention that doesn’t demand anything in return.And for now—that has to be enough.She turns to me then, really looks at me, like she’s weighing every word I haven’t said yet.“Be careful what you say to me,” she murmurs. “My heart is fragile. I’m… vulnerable right now.”T

    NADIAWhen I walk into the shelter’s dining hall, Laura is already laying out food, chatting animatedly with the matron. The moment she spots me, she hands the tray to the older woman and touches her shoulder gently. “My sister is here,” she says with a warm smile. Then she hurries over and wraps her arms around my neck. “I’m so sorry about the way I went off on you earlier, Nadia.”I cup her face and kiss her forehead. “It’s fine. You were right. And I appreciate you always keeping me in check.”She nods, grabs my hand, and pulls me toward the long table in the center of the room. “Come and see what I did with the dessert!” she says, practically glowing with childlike excitement.Laughing, I follow her—until I reach the table and stop short.It’s beautiful. Cookies shaped like dogs and other animals are arranged neatly on the trays. I pick one up, but instead of eating it, I trace its edges with my finger.“What does it remind you of?” she asks softly, resting her head lightly on my

    JORDANThe moment I swing the door open, three-year-old Zara barrels into me, her tiny arms flinging around my waist.“Uncle Jordan!”“Hey, bug!” I crouch down and let her bounce against me, her curls tickling my chin. “It’s so good to see you.”“Is it? Because you’ve been avoiding everyone.”I loo

    NADIA“I still can’t believe you were caught having sex in an open space, sis. You’re becoming wild, and I love it.”I bury my face in the magazine I’m pretending to read, wishing the ground would open up and swallow me.“Keep your voice down, Laura. We weren’t caught. He handled it before it escal

    JORDANThe first thing I see when I step into the bar is Felix — shoulders hunched, one hand wrapped around a half-empty glass of scotch like it’s his last bit of control. The amber catches the light, flickers across his face, and for a second, he looks older. Tired in a way that has nothing to do

    NADIAI can’t sleep. I keep tossing, sheets tangled around my legs, body aching for something I haven’t had in too damn long. It’s pathetic how easily my mind drifts back to him—Mystery Man. The only one who ever really knew how to touch me.Felix and I might as well be flatmates at this point. We
