Anonymous POV

The dance had been a mix of highs and lows, but by the time it ended, everyone agreed on one thing—they were hungry.

Shane, Isla’s boyfriend, took on the role of chauffeur for the evening, steering his black SUV through the crowded parking lot as they all piled in.

“So, what’s the move?” Shane asked, glancing in the rearview mirror at Sade and Robert.

“White Castle,” Isla said immediately. “It’s after midnight, so our options are pretty much that or nothing.”

“Sounds good to me,” Sade agreed. “I’ll just need my sliders without onions—I want to make it home without regretting life.”

Robert, sitting up front with Shane, chuckled. “Fine by me. I’ll take anything that’s greasy and hot at this point.”

The ride to White Castle didn’t take long, and when they arrived, the parking lot was already packed with other students who had the same idea. Inside, the line stretched toward the door, the smell of sizzling burgers and fries wafting through the air.

    Marco’s POVThe house was quiet as I unlocked the front door and stepped inside. The clock on the microwave read 4:30 a.m. I let out a slow breath, rubbing a hand down my face. My body still hummed from what had happened with Isla, but my stomach was tight with guilt.I didn't even know how it had escalated like that. One minute, we were talking, and the next...I swallowed hard and forced the thought away.As I moved through the living room, my eyes landed on Sade. She was curled up on the couch, her chest slowly rising and falling, our baby girl sprawled across her, both of them knocked out. A tiny snore escaped from Sade’s lips, and a softer one followed from the baby.For a second, everything inside me twisted.This was my family. My home.And I had just betrayed them.I exhaled slowly, tiptoeing past them toward the stairs. My legs felt heavy, my body sluggish, but my mind raced. Maybe if I could just crawl into bed and sleep, this weight sitting on my chest would lessen.I reach

    Isla’s POVThe living room was dimly lit, the only glow coming from the lamp in the corner and the faint city lights seeping through the blinds. The air between us felt heavy charged with something I wasn’t sure either of us could control.Marco stood a few steps away, hands shoved into his pockets, his jaw tight like he was fighting a battle within himself. I wasn’t any better. My heart pounded so hard I swore he could hear it, and I couldn’t seem to look away from him.We shouldn’t be doing this.“We should stop,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper.Marco’s lips twitched, but it wasn’t amusement. It was frustration. “Then tell me to go, and you can call an Uber to take you to your in-laws' house to pick up your kids. ”I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.Instead of answering, I found myself taking a small step forward. Marco didn’t move away. His eyes darkened, his breathing deepening as I closed the space between us.The moment our bodies brushed, a slow exhale left h

    Anonymous POV The lively hum of Jake’s Bar buzzed in the background as Sadé’s phone vibrated on the table. She glanced at the screen, Mom.“Hey, Ma,” she answered, but the urgency in Melody’s voice cut through her like ice.“Sadé, baby, I need you to come home,” Melody said, panic lacing her tone. “One of the twins is running a slight fever and keeps tugging at her ear. I think it’s an ear infection.”Sadé immediately straightened. “Okay, I’ll be right there.”Shane, who had been standing nearby, overheard and glanced over. “Everything okay?”“Not really,” Sadé admitted, grabbing her purse. “One of the twins isn’t feeling well. I need to get home.”Shane nodded, already reaching for his keys. “Come on, I’ll drive you. I have an early flight to New York anyway.”He turned to Isla, who was still deep in conversation with Tamara and Star. “Babe, I gotta head out,” he told Isla, leaning down to kiss her forehead. “You staying a little longer?”“Yeah, I’ll catch a ride with Marco,” Isla r

The stained glass windows cast colorful rays onto the pews, but no light could soften the grief that hung over the congregation.
