One Night, No Names Chapter 69
Jason My voice tore through the lobby, loud enough to make conversations falter and heads turn. “Get your hands off me!” I shouted, twisting against the security guard’s grip. My face was flushed not with guilt, but with indignation and my eyes burned with disbelief. “I haven’t done anything wrong! You don’t get to grab me like I’m some kind of criminal!”The security man kept my hold firm but measured, clearly trained not to escalate. That only seemed to fuel my outrage. “Do you even know who you’re talking to?” I demanded, though the question wasn’t about status so much as principle. “You can’t just decide I look suspicious and start manhandling me. That’s not how this works!”I tried to pull free again, not violently but insistently, as though the very contact offended me. “Take your hands off me,” I repeated, slower now but no less forceful. “You don’t get to treat people like this just because you feel like it. I have every right to be here.”The guard attempted to speak
One Night, No Names Chapter 68
Clara I sat upright now, no longer pretending to rest. The hospital blanket pooled around my waist, my IV line stretching taut as if even it sensed her urgency.“I need to leave,” I said suddenly.The nurse, who had been standing near the foot of the bed listening for updates through my earpiece, turned back to me. “Clara—”“I need to go. Now.” My voice wasn’t hysterical. It was sharp. Focused. As if the decision had already been made somewhere deep inside me.I swung my legs over the side of the bed.The nurse moved quickly, but not aggressively. Calm. Measured. I placed a steady hand on Clara’s forearm.“You cannot leave,” the Nurse said.I looked up at her, disbelief flashing across her face. “Why not?”“You’re still under observation,” the nurse replied. “Your vitals have been unstable. The doctor hasn’t cleared you.”“I don’t care,” I snapped. “There are two men out there fighting over me. I don’t even know what’s real right now. I need to see for myself.”My heart pounded vi
One Night, No Names Chapter 67
Clara I kept my eyes closed, not fully asleep, not fully awake suspended in that fragile space where thoughts feel louder than the world around you.That was when I heard it.A faint sound at first. Not the mechanical hiss of oxygen, not the distant squeak of a cart in the hallway. This was different. A shift of weight. The soft creak of the door eased open and caught before it clicked shut again.My pulse skipped.The nurse didn’t react. My fingers tightened slightly against the thin hospital blanket. I told myself it was nothing. Breathing.Not close enough to touch her, but close enough to feel.And then“Clara.”My name was low and familiar. A voice I knew the way I knew my own reflection.Jason.Not loud. Not urgent. Just there.Every muscle in my body went rigid, but I forced my breathing to remain slow and even. I didn’t open my eyes. Didn’t turn my head. If I moved, it would make it real.The nurse cleared her throat softly and adjusted in her chair. “You okay, Clara?
One Night, No Names Chapter 66
Clara My demand hangs between us, sharp and immovable.“From the beginning,” I repeat.Aiden doesn’t argue this time.He exhales slowly, like he’s been holding the air in his lungs since the moment I opened my eyes. His shoulders drop, not in defeat, but in decision.“Okay,” he says quietly. “You want to know why the nurse called us a couple?”“Yes.”Aiden's eyes don’t leave my mind.“When I rushed you in,” Aiden begins, “you weren’t fully conscious.”The edge in my posture softens just slightly.“You were trying to talk, but it didn’t make sense. You kept blinking like you couldn’t focus. There was blood in your hair.” His voice tightens at the memory, but he pushes through it. “I carried you through those doors and they were asking questions I couldn’t answer fast enough.”I feel the image before she sees it, automatic doors sliding open, fluorescent lights too bright, the sterile chaos of a hospital intake desk.“They asked who I was,” Aiden continues. “They asked what happened.
One Night, No Names Chapter 65
Clara The quiet doesn’t last.It stretches thin, fragile as glass, and then it cracks.I studied Aiden for a long moment, my earlier softness draining away as something sharper took its place. The word couples still echoes in my mind. The headlights. The pavement. His face above mine. The nurse’s knowing smile.None of its lines line up cleanly.My pulse begins to climb again, but this time it isn’t panic.It’s frustration.I push myself up straighter against the pillows, wincing slightly at the pull in my head, but she doesn’t look away from him.“Okay,” I said slowly. “What the fuck is going on?”The bluntness of it slices through the room.Aiden stills.Not offended. Not shocked.Just… bracing.“Clara—”“No.” I shake my head, the movement making me dizzy, but she powers through it. “I wake up in a hospital. I don’t remember half of what happened. A nurse calls us a couple. I remember you almost hitting me with your car.” My voice tightens. “And somehow we live together?”Aiden
One Night, No Names Chapter 64
Clara I was awake, but I wasn’t entirely sure how long I had been that way.I turned my head carefully.The room was small. A narrow window let in a washed-out morning light that made everything look flat and unreal. There was a chair in the corner, empty. A glass of water sat on a bedside table, beads of condensation sliding slowly down its side. I focused on that for a moment, watching one droplet gather enough weight to fall. The tiny movement felt monumental.Where am I?The question floated up without urgency. It should have frightened me more than it did. Instead, it hovered there, unanswered.I searched for memory the way you search for a word that’s on the tip of your tongue. There was a door. A sound. Maybe voices. The impression of movement is fast, too fast. My pulse quickened.I pushed myself up slightly, wincing at the effort. The room tilted, then steadied. The sheet slid down to my waist, and I realized I was wearing a soft gray shirt I didn’t recognize. I
