Callie

The night air was cold against my skin as we pulled the car onto the secluded stretch of beach. Waves lapped against the shore, the salt tang blending with the faint scent of Grayson’s cologne that clung to me like a second skin. The world felt suspended—all distant echoes that didn’t reach this edge of the world.

Grayson parked, leaving the engine idling. He didn’t speak right away. He simply reached over, brushing a hand over mine resting on the console.

“Out here,” he murmured, voice low, “there is nothing to fight or prove. Just us.”

I nodded, though my heart raced faster than it had all day. The heat from yesterday, the tension of our public victory, the relief of reclaiming control, all coiled inside me demanding release.

He opened the door for me, his hand lingering on my lower back as I stepped out, the sand cold beneath my bare feet.

We walked toward the water, and I could feel it—the pull of freedom, the release that had been building since Mary’s schemes first thre

    CallieThe sound of waves from the nearby shore still lingered faintly in my ears, a memory of last night’s release, but now it was replaced with the quiet moment of domestic life—cups clinking, the hum of the refrigerator, and the low, steady presence of Grayson moving through our shared space.I found him in the kitchen, leaning casually against the counter, shirt slightly rumpled, hair mussed in that way that always made my heart pick up. He glanced at me, a slow, almost mischievous smile tugging at the corner of his lips.“Morning,” he said, voice low but teasing. “Sleep well?”I leaned against the doorway, stretching slightly. “Better than I have in weeks,” I admitted, a small smile curling across my lips. “Thanks to you.”He stepped closer, brushing a hand lightly over mine as it rested on the counter. I felt a shiver run down my spine, even in the calm light of day.“I think we deserve breakfast,” he said, tilting his head, eyes scanning me as if assessing how much energy I had

    CallieThe morning light filtered softly through the curtains, brushing the Carter house in warmth. Outside, the town carried on, oblivious to the subtle battles that had shifted the balance of power. But inside these walls, everything felt lighter. I found Grayson in the kitchen, leaning casually against the counter, coffee in hand, his presence still as grounding as ever. He glanced up, eyes meeting mine, and the faint curve of his lips held a pride that made my chest swell.“You are up early,” I said, stepping toward him, letting my fingers brush his arm. “I couldn’t sleep,” he admitted, though the slight smile tugging at his lips said otherwise. “Too much to savor. Too much to plan for.”I returned the smile, letting the warmth between us settle like a protective cloak. “I still can’t believe she is backing off fully.”Grayson’s gaze sharpened with that familiar intensity. “She knows she lost. Publicly, privately, emotionally—she didn’t expect us to stand together. She didn’t ex

    CallieGrayson appeared in the bedroom doorway without a sound, as if he’d always been there, waiting for me to step fully into this moment. The faint lamplight traced the edges of his face. “You okay?” he asked. “I… think so,” I admitted, but my heart betrayed the truth. The adrenaline from standing up to Mary, the closeness of him, the unspoken promises—they all combined into a heat that coiled inside me.He closed the distance slowly, closing the door behind him with a soft click that sealed us off from the world. “You were incredible,” he murmured, his hand brushing a loose strand of hair from my face. “Out there, in front of everyone… you didn’t flinch. You didn’t hide.”“I… tried,” I whispered, letting my body shift closer to him instinctively.He cupped my face, thumbs brushing over my cheekbones, eyes locking with mine in a way that made everything else—every fear, every thought—fade to nothing. “It is always you,” he said softly. “Even when you don’t see it.”My knees weak

    CallieI didn’t announce my return. The festival had ended hours ago, but the aftertaste of it—the whispers, the stares, the heavy sense of scrutiny—still lingered.Grayson met me at the door. Not with questions. Not with concern that demanded explanation. Just with his presence, solid, protective, a shield I hadn’t realized I’d been craving.“You are back,” he said, voice low, almost a growl.“I had to rethink,” I admitted, leaning against the frame for just a heartbeat before stepping inside. He nodded, eyes scanning me, noting the subtle shifts in my stance, the tension still coiled along my shoulders. Then, without another word, he took my hand and guided me toward the living room.Mary was already there. Of course she was. The nerve. Her expression shifted as soon as she noticed us—first surprise, then the tight mask of control she always wore, the one that crumbled under the right pressure.Grayson didn’t hesitate. He stepped in front of me, not blocking, not shielding, but dec

    CallieEven after all the adrenaline had faded, my body refused to let go of the sharp awareness that Mary’s threat wasn’t gone—it had just been postponed.Grayson appeared in the doorway of the bedroom. The faint lamplight traced the angles of his face, highlighting the calm that had grounded me all evening and the heat simmering just beneath.“You okay?” he asked. “I… think so,” I admitted, though my racing heart betrayed me.He crossed the room slowly, closing the door behind him with a soft click. The sound didn’t isolate me—it framed us in our own world, one where no whispers, no stares, no schemes could reach us.Grayson stopped in front of me, eyes locking with mine. Every subtle shift of his body, and breath, demanded attention. The tension I’d carried all day was impossible to ignore.“You did more than I could have asked,” he murmured. “Out there… you stood. You faced it. And you stayed you.”I swallowed, chest tight. “It didn’t feel like me. Not really.”His hands came up,
