Two weeks later,

Emma could replay the same question that consumed her mind. She had faked a call just to avoid her sister's question, and she had a feeling Jade noticed it. After that, they headed home. Jade got home happily and couldn't stop talking about the fun they had. She even had a little personal concert for her sister where she played. It was wonky at first because she hadn't played in a long time, but after some time, she finally got the hang of it and knew she would need more training to fully master playing the guitar.

As for Ezra, that night before bed, she had called and brought up a lie that she had gone out with a college friend of hers who had finally visited after years of promising she would. She hoped he believed her. She wasn't ready to let him know her family. Emma kept reminding herself this life wasn't real. It was all a performance, and she deeply regretted it, but there was nothing she could do. She had already gone too far.

    "You look so beautiful, Emma. Gold looks pretty on you," Zoe said as Emma zipped up her dress. She paused, smoothing her palms down the fabric. Then she turned to Zoe, who sat on the bed and swung her legs, watching her with wide, admiring eyes. Emma was getting ready for Susan's party, and she had made a new dress just for this event. Susan had told her to just wear anything, but she was the type of woman who loved to show her work, and her wearing the dress she made would even make people want to associate with her. It was a big-people party after all, so she had to go all out.Her hands were placed on her chest in awe. "Thank you, babe. I am so sad you wouldn't be coming along." Emma walked toward her, her heels clicking softly on the floor. She made a quick, happy gasp. "You know what? How about I ask Natie to let you do whatever you want while I am out?"Zoe perked up immediately. "Like what?""Oh. I got it." Emma sat next to Zoe, their shoulders brushing. "Do you want Bella to

    Ezra said nothing.Absolutely nothing.And that silence told Josie more than any words ever could.Josie’s eyes widened slowly as she clutched the edge of the paper tighter. “Don’t tell me… oh God.”Ezra swallowed. “It’s… a long story.” His eyes shut closed for a moment. The truth was finally out, and he had not expected it to get exposed this way.“A long story?” Her voice rose in disbelief. “What do you even mean—”“Shh!” He rushed forward and locked the door, his movements were sharp, and almost desperate. His hand trembled slightly as he turned the lock.Josie’s voice dropped and she whispered. She was trembling. “You… you have a child?”Ezra exhaled shakily, running a hand through his damp hair. “It’s a long story, Mom.”“Then explain.” Her voice cracked. “Who is her mother? Why did you hide this from us?” She paused as she tried to control her anger, her frustration, her voice. She succeeded and asked calmly, “And your father. Does he know?”He shook his head. “Only Winter.”Jo

    It was early December, and the snow glistened. Ezra strolled home from a tutorial class one night. Normally, the driver would have picked them up, and Ezra would have gone along, but this time, he wanted to cool off after tackling a difficult math problem, so he chose to walk instead of chatting loudly with his friend during the ride home.He had his jacket and his beanie to keep warm, and Scott, too proud and tired for a stroll, used the ride home.Ezra walked, his shoes crunching through the snow, hands in his pockets, music playing in his ears—until something in the shop window caught his eye. A snowflake necklace seemed to whisper to him as it gleamed under the light.He had been contemplating the perfect birthday gift for his girl, and seeing this felt like a sign. Without hesitation, he went into the store and asked for matching earrings, caring little for the price. They were real diamonds.The jewelry meant a lot to him, not because it was expensive, but because he had handpic

    Ezra had already discussed what happened with Scott regarding the pictures that were sent to his parents’ home. He couldn’t tell Emma about it—he didn’t want her to panic.Scott had said, “They’re just messing with you. Seems like you have an enemy who wants to out this secret of yours.”Ezra had replied, “How could they do this? It’s not like Zoe is a secret.”“Isn’t she?”“No, Scott. She isn’t. Soon, I’ll tell my parents about her, and all these things will finally come to an end.”He was exhausted—tired of the hiding, the sneaking around. He couldn’t even be the father he wanted to be because of all these lies.That Saturday, he spoke to Emma, and he was already aware of the party Susan had invited her to. Emma mentioned that Zoe would be in Natie’s care until she got back.That evening, he chose a white linen shirt with the sleeves rolled up, navy pants, and black loafers. For his scent, he went with something subtle. His wavy hair was left natural and slightly messy.When his car

    Ezra had a reason for leaving. Winter had called just after he finished his tea and had sent proof of an envelope that was sent to his parent house that night. She had seen what was inside, and when she told him, he became alerted. He could not wait for Emma any longer, so he wrote her a letter. Luckily, he found a book nearby and used the pen from his suit pocket.He rushed home instantly.When he got home, Winter was waiting. She was sitting on the couch in the dark living room. Ezra turned on the light and approached her. The envelope was on the table."Good thing you saw it before they did. Who do you think would send this to them?" He picked the envelope and opened it. "Who could have done this?"Winter looked up at him. "Who else knows about her? In the picture, they stalked her. It is obvious. That is her school if I am not mistaken."Ezra nodded. "Yes. It is her school." He sat down and sighed. "Not many people know about this, and I doubt Scott would do that. He has known abo
