Until I spoke those words, I hadn't fully realized what moving to the other side of the country would mean. I had mentioned that university as just another alternative, a possibility that might satisfy the need for distance Christopher's parents seemed to consider essential, but when I saw his reaction, I understood that to him, it represented something far more painful.Christopher remained silent, his gaze fixed on the acceptance letters resting on my desk. I wondered whether he was imagining the same things I was: thousands of miles separating us, nights when we wouldn't be able to see each other, and a routine that, after ten years, would have to change completely.I hadn't meant to hurt him, although it was obvious that the mere possibility of my leaving had managed to do exactly that."Do you want to go that far away?" he finally asked, his voice carrying a vulnerability that sent a sharp pang through my chest."I don't know," I answered honestly. "

Christopher's proposal left me deep in thought for several seconds. Until then, I had imagined that our separation would mean we would no longer spend our nights together, but what he had just explained was very different. In reality, the plan was for us to continue the same routine we had followed for the past ten years, except that now I would be the one who had to leave the mansion and get used to living somewhere else.At first glance, the idea didn't seem all that complicated. I would have my own apartment near the university, where I could attend classes and return home in the afternoons, while Christopher would come over to sleep beside me during the week. However, the more I tried to imagine how this new life would work, the more questions arose. Not only would we have to hide our arrangement from everyone else, but for the first time since we were children, we would also have to get used to sleeping apart on weekends.I watched him as I tried to find a way to

That night, I was sitting on my bed, going through the acceptance letters I'd received from the colleges I'd applied to for the third time, when a soft knock at the door interrupted my thoughts. I set the letters down on my desk and leaned back against the headboard."Come in," I answered quietly.Christopher appeared in the doorway and carefully closed the door behind him. One look was enough to tell me that something was wrong. He looked dejected, his shoulders slightly slumped, and he wore that worried expression that only appeared when something was affecting him far more than he was willing to admit."Is everything okay?" I asked, setting the letters on the bed. "Did your parents give you a hard time? Are they angry with me for sleeping in their bedroom?"My last question drew a small laugh from him, although it wasn't enough to erase the weariness from his face."That's the one thing you're safe from.""Thank God," I replied, pressing

Christopher's question hung in the air, and for a few moments, neither of his parents quite knew how to respond.It wasn't the first time Marylee and Henry had wondered whether the relationship between their son and Mia would eventually develop into something deeper than the affection that had bound them together since childhood, but until now, Christopher had never openly expressed a desire to spend the rest of his life with her.Marylee exchanged a glance with her husband, aware that they had both spent years watching that little girl become an indispensable presence in their son's life.They had witnessed the peace she brought him, the trust they shared, and a closeness that, over time, had begun to transcend the circumstances that had originally led them to sleep beside each other.However, they also knew that Christopher had grown accustomed to having Mia available to him every night, and that it was important to distinguish between the fear of losin

CHRISTOPHERChristopher had barely finished explaining what had happened when his father let out a sigh and leaned back in his armchair."We understand perfectly well why you're furious, son. What Serena did was unacceptable, but there are circumstances we can't ignore."Christopher frowned."What do you mean?""Antoine Taylor called me this morning. He's outraged by the way you treated his daughter and threatened to cancel the agreement between our two families."Christopher let out a humorless laugh."His daughter dumped white paint all over Mia and then threw a bag full of feathers at her in front of all our guests. And somehow, he's the one who's offended?""I'd be furious, too," Henry acknowledged. "But Serena has her heart set on you, and Antoine isn't exactly a reasonable man when it comes to his daughter.""That's not my problem.""Under normal circumstances, I'd agree with you completely.

Blair's questions left me completely bewildered, not because they seemed absurd, but because I had just realized that I had never stopped to consider any of those possibilities.For ten years, my life had revolved around a routine that had eventually come to feel as natural as anything else, and the idea that it might someday change had never even crossed my mind.I watched her as I tried to imagine myself in any of the situations she had just described. The possibility of Christopher no longer needing me to sleep left me with a strange sense of emptiness, but I couldn't deny that Blair had a point when she asked what would happen if either of us wanted to pursue a romantic relationship with someone else."I've never even thought about that," I finally admitted. "I've been sleeping beside Christopher for ten years, and when I started thinking about college, the first thing that came to mind was that I needed to choose one close to home so I could come back every
