One Night, No Names Chapter 174
Jason The room felt smaller with every passing minute. The silence between us carried more weight than the words we were trying to avoid. I finally looked around and said quietly, “We need to leave this place. I need to rest.” My voice sounded tired, almost defeated, as though the walls themselves had drained all the energy from me. The atmosphere was uncomfortable, and staying there any longer did not feel right. I wondered if bringing someone else into the situation would make things easier, so I asked, “Or do you want Clara to come here?”Mike hesitated before answering. His expression changed, and it was clear he had already thought about it. “I asked Mike,” someone had said earlier, and now he finally explained his response. “No,” Mike replied firmly. He paused for a moment before continuing, “I’m not sure she will like you to be here.” His words were not cruel, but they carried uncertainty and caution. It was obvious he was trying to avoid conflict or discomfort, especi

Clara I had just returned home after a long and tiring day. The heat outside was unbearable, and all I could think about was getting something cold to drink. I walked straight into the kitchen and opened the fridge. A cool rush of air escaped as the light inside flickered on, revealing neatly arranged food containers, fruits, and several bottles lined up on the lower shelf. Without hesitation, I reached for a bottle of water covered in tiny droplets of condensation. It felt cold and refreshing in my hand.I twisted the cap open slowly, hearing the soft crack as the seal broke. At that moment, the sound alone felt satisfying. I lifted the bottle to my lips and drank deeply. The cold water flowed down my throat, instantly refreshing me and easing my exhaustion. For a few seconds, everything around me seemed calm and peaceful. I leaned slightly against the kitchen counter, enjoying the relief the water brought after such a stressful day.Just as I was about to take another sip, a su

Clara I smiled softly as the thought slipped into my mind, unexpected yet impossible to ignore. It was one of those quiet moments where a simple idea suddenly feels important for no clear reason. I sat there wondering why Jason’s brother, Mike, would ever call me on the phone just to say he wanted to see me. The idea seemed strange, almost unreal, and that was exactly why it stayed in my head. The more I thought about it, the more curious I became, and my smile slowly widened without me even noticing. Mike and I had never been particularly close. We knew each other through Jason, shared a few conversations here and there, but nothing that would normally lead to a personal phone call. That was what made the thought so mysterious. I imagined my phone ringing unexpectedly, Mike’s name appearing on the screen, and his voice sounding calm but serious as he told me he wanted to see me. I wondered how I would respond at that moment. Would I act surprised? Would I laugh nervou

Jason The bar was dimly lit, filled with the soft hum of conversations and the slow rhythm of jazz playing from hidden speakers. Rain tapped gently against the windows, matching the heaviness I carried inside me after the kind of day that seemed determined to go wrong from the very beginning. I sat across from Mike in our usual corner booth, staring blankly at the half-filled glass of red wine in front of me. My shoulders were tense, my mind exhausted, and every attempt Mike made to lighten the mood only drifted past me unnoticed.Mike, however, seemed distracted. His phone buzzed for what felt like the fifth time that evening, and when he glanced at the screen, his expression changed instantly. “It’s Clara,” Mike muttered before answering the call. He leaned slightly away from the table, lowering his voice, but not enough to stop my curiosity from growing.At first, I tried not to listen. I swirled the wine in my glass and focused on the rain outside, but fragments of the conver

Clara I walked into the kitchen quietly, almost like I was stepping into a different version of myself. The house was calm, and the soft sound of plates shifting and water running filled the silence. It had been a while since I made the effort to do something simple and warm for someone else, and honestly, it had been a while since I allowed myself to feel open. Lately, I had stayed inside my own thoughts too much, distant without meaning to be. But tonight felt different. I wanted to come out of my shell and act right again.I opened the fridge and stood there for a moment, thinking about what to prepare. Nothing complicated just something comforting. Something that could create a small moment between Mirabella and me without pressure or awkwardness. I started gathering ingredients slowly, moving with intention. The kitchen lights reflected softly against the counter while I prepared everything, and with each step, I felt myself relaxing. It wasn’t really about the food. It was

Jason “Do you want me to call Clara myself and speak to her?” Mike asked, leaning forward in his chair with a serious expression on his face. His voice carried a mixture of concern and determination, as though he was already prepared for whatever answer I might give him.I looked away for a moment and stared through the window beside us. The evening sky was slowly turning orange as the sun disappeared behind the buildings. My thoughts were crowded with worry. Clara had not replied to my messages for days, and every attempt I made to reach her had ended in silence. I could not tell whether she was angry, hurt, or simply avoiding me. The uncertainty was exhausting.“I don’t know if that will be a good idea,” I finally replied quietly. “But let’s see how it will go.”Mike nodded slowly, though I could tell he was not fully convinced by my hesitation. He had always been the type of person who believed problems should be faced directly. Unlike me, he never allowed fear or doubt to

Clara I stood outside the room, I needed the space, the air, and the time to recalibrate, my breathing was shallow, and uneven, a stark contrast to the calm facade I had tried to maintain in the last few minutes. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, hoping that it would clear my mind but it d

Jason I stood there in confusion, my mind racing to piece together the situation. Clara , the girl I thought I knew now seems like a stranger to me. I watched her closely, trying to decipher the sharp shift in my behavior, moments ago, I had laughed softly, my eyes warm with affection, as if ever

Jason I had barely closed the car door when the weight of my decision finally crystallized into action. The driver glanced at me in the rearview mirror, one eyebrow lifting in quiet question as I leaned forward, urgency sharpening my voice. “Can you turn around?” I said. “I need to go back no
