PAIGE

The world doesn't end.

The sun rises. The city wakes up. People go to work.

And we're still here. On the floor. In our empty apartment. Together.

"Paige."

Marcus's voice. Soft.

"Yeah."

"It's morning."

"I know."

"Did you sleep?"

"A little."

"Me too."

He pulls me closer. His chest is warm. His heartbeat is steady.

"We survived," he says.

"We survived."

Haruto stirs beside me. His hand finds my leg.

"What time is it?"

"Eight."

"Too early."

Julian sits up. Grey eyes already open.

There's a difference."---MARCUSMy phone has stopped buzzing.The reporters got bored. The board scheduled a meeting for Monday. My mother hasn't called back."Marcus."Paige is beside me. Coffee in her hand."Yeah.""How are you?""I'm fine.""You're not fine."I look at her. Those dark eyes. Full of everything."I'm scared," I admit."Of what?""Of losing you. Losing them. Losing everything I just fought for."She sets h

    PAIGEThe Chronicle arrives at 10 AM.Her name is Sarah. Blonde hair. Kind eyes. A notebook in her hand and no judgment on her face."You must be Paige," she says."I must be."She looks at Marcus. At Haruto. At Julian. All three in black suits. All three standing in our bare living room like soldiers before battle."This is quite the setup," she says."It's quite the relationship," Marcus replies.She sits on the floor. Crosses her legs. No chair yet. No couch. Just boxes and a plant and four people who love each other."Where do you want me to start?"Paige sits across from her. "At the beginning."---HARUTOSarah looks at me first."Haruto. You were her first love.""Yes.""You lost contact for six years.""My father kept us apart.""And now?""And now I'm not letting anyone keep us apart again."She writes something in her notebook. "Marcus. You were her college boyfriend. You broke up because of family pressure."Marcus nods. "My mother. She didn't think Paige was good enough."

    MARCUSMy phone rings at 7 PM.My mother's name on the screen.I step into the bedroom. Close the door."Mother.""Marcus." Her voice is cold. Controlled. "Your girlfriend is impossible.""I know.""She refused to be intimidated.""I know.""She actually thinks she loves you."I lean against the wall. "Because she does.""Don't be naive.""I'm not naive. I'm in love. There's a difference."She is quiet for a moment. Then: "You're making a mistake.""I'm not.""She's not Whitmore material.""I don't care.""You'll care when the board finds out. When the press finds out. When your father's legacy is dragged through the mud because you're sleeping with a woman who has two other boyfriends."I grip the phone tighter. "Is there a point to this call?""The point is I'm not giving up. On you. On this family. On what's right.""Goodbye, Mother.""Marcus—"I hang up.---PAIGEMarcus comes out of the bedroom.His face is pale. His jaw is tight."What did she say?" I ask."The usual. I'm making

    PAIGEMy phone buzzes at 7 AM.Unknown number. I almost ignore it."Hello?""Paige Chen." A woman's voice. Cold. Polished. "This is Eleanor Whitmore."I sit up in bed. Haruto stirs beside me."Mrs. Whitmore?""Call me Eleanor. We need to talk. About my son. About you. About this... arrangement."My heart pounds. "I don't think—""Lunch. Today. 1 PM. The Whitmore Hotel. I'll send a car."The line goes dead.I stare at the phone."Paige?" Haruto's voice is sleepy. "Who was that?""Marcus's mother."He sits up. "What did she want?""Lunch. Just me. To talk about us."Marcus walks in. Rubbing his eyes. "Talk about what?"I look at him. "She didn't say. But I don't think it's good."---MARCUS"Don't go."I say it at breakfast. Julian is at the counter. Haruto is by the window. Paige is across from me."I have to.""You don't have to do anything.""She's your mother, Marcus. If I'm going to be in your life, I need to face her.""You don't know what she's like.""I know enough.""No, you do

    PAIGE"The sad eyes, the hungry eyes, the patient eyes."Mrs. Chen says it without looking up from the cup she's wiping.I freeze in the doorway of her coffee shop. It's just us. Early morning. The old man isn't in his corner yet. The young couple hasn't arrived."What?"She sets the cup down. Looks at me."You came to ask me something. I'm answering before you ask."I walk to the counter. Slide onto a stool."How do you do that?""Do what?""Know what I'm thinking."She almost smiles. "I'm old, child. I've seen everything. Including three men looking at one woman."I stare at her. "Mrs. Chen—""The sad eyes. That's Haruto. He's been carrying something heavy for years. Grief. Guilt. Loss. He looks at you like you're the only thing keeping him from drowning."My throat tightens."The hungry eyes. That's Marcus. He wants. Not just you. Everything. Love. Family. A future. He looks at you like you're the answer to every question he's ever asked."I grip the edge of the counter."And the p

Julian is at the foot of the bed, his hand on my ankle.No one moves."Paige."Haruto's voice. Sleepy."Hey.""You're awake.""I'm awake.""Good."He kisses my shoulder. Soft.Marcus shifts beside me. His hand finds my stomach."Too early," he mumbles."It's eight.""Too early."Julian sits up. Rubs his eyes. Grey hair messy. "I'm making coffee.""Make enough for everyone."He almost smiles. "Obviously."---JULIANThe kitchen is quiet.I make coffee. The machine hums. The city wakes up outside."Julian."Paige. In the doorway. Hair messy. Eyes soft."You should be sleeping.""I should be helping.""I have it under control."She walks to me. Leans against the counter."You've been quiet lately.""I'm always quiet.""Quieter than usual."I pour two cups. Hand her one."I've been thinking.""About what?""About this. About us. About how I got h
