REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE Chapter 170
THIRD PERSON’S POV The conference day had sapped far more of her energy than Sara expected. The whole event was more than she expected.She stepped out of the hotel lobby and thrust her hands into her pockets, inhaling the crisp evening air. The city lights glittered against the water, reflections swaying with every ripple. It wasn’t home, and yet… It felt freeing to walk without anyone expecting something from her.Derek couldn’t be found here.Neither could Alyssa.There wasn’t total peace but there wasn’t tension either and she didn’t have to watch her steps at every turn.There was air, and then there was space to breathe easily.She exhaled slowly, going with the flow while letting the muscles that had bunched up in her shoulders loosen for the first time that day.Her presentation had gone better than she imagined, way better than she hoped. Alaric said she did well. She didn’t believe him at first and thought he was just sugar coating his words to put her at ease but colleag

SARA’S POVThe morning light filtered through the thin curtains of the Grand Savoy’s conference hall, casting a soft glow over rows of polished chairs and the glass podium at the front. Sara adjusted the folder in her hands for the third time, forcing her fingers to stop trembling. It wasn’t fear, not exactly. It was the weight of being here… in Vienna, in a place she’d never imagined she’d stand as a representative and speaker.The low hum of conversations built around her. Executives, researchers, CEOs, government delegates, all mingling, shaking hands, settling into their seats. Sara inhaled and released a steady breath.You can do this.Alaric stood a few feet away, reading through the materials for the session. He didn’t look tense. He rarely did. His presence alone had a grounding effect on her. When he glanced up at her, his eyes softened.“You’re ready,” he said with quiet certainty.Sara’s lips pulled into a small, nervous smile. “If you say so.”“I do,” he returned, tone fi

THIRD PERSON’S POVDanielle pressed the green crayon a little harder than she meant to. It broke on the paper she had spread out in front of her.Startled, she tried to remedy her actions by wiping her hands over it but ended up smudging the color even more, messing up her drawing.A huff of frustration left her lips and she crumpled the paper and tossed it angrily, watching as it fell next to the bin. She shouldn’t litter, she knew that, but she was too angry and sad to care. Her lips pulled into a pout and she lowered her head, thinking to herself that she would just endure it if Mrs Williams yelled at her for littering.Reaching foward, she grabbed another crayon from her box, a pink one this time, because she knew mommy liked it better when she colored in pink.Mommy had never told her that directly but she had noticed it on her own and she was sure she was right.She put her all into coloring, biting her lips as she did so while the classroom buzzed around her. Her classmates p

SARA’S POVAlaric stood with one hand draped in his pocket, leaning casually against the wall outside my room with a paper bag in his other untucked hand. “Alaric?” I called, stepping out without fully opening the door.“You’re awake,” he muttered. “I wasn’t sure if I’d disturb you.”“You didn’t.” I said, stepping back. “Is something wrong?”“No.” His gaze softened. “You seemed tense earlier. I remembered you didn’t really eat anything on the flight, so I had room service send up pastries. I figured you might be hungry before bed.”“You got me pastries?” I echoed in surprise.“Yes. They’re just downstairs and they take orders until late at night.” He responded then smiled at me. “I wasn’t sure about what you’d like, so I brought a little of everything.”It was a gesture I wasn’t expecting and warmth bloomed in my chest.“Thank you,” I whispered. It was an act so thoughtful and I appreciated it.He gave me another smile . “I’ll take my leave now and you should get some rest. It will b

SARA’S POV I still couldn’t figure it out yet but her look, even mere glances were discomfitting, even when it shouldn’t be.I didn’t even know her. She was a stranger to me and she would remain so for a couple of hours.Check-in was handled almost entirely by her. She spoke fluent German to the staff, laughing lightly at something one of them said. Alaric signed a document after, thanked someone, and then we were led to the upper floors.“Your rooms,” Amara said, handing us our key cards, “are adjacent. Suite 1103 for you, Mr. Lennox. And Suite 1104 for you, Ms. Marshall.”I blinked but didn’t correct her address. I was too overtaken by surprise to do so. “Beside each other?”Alaric didn’t react. He simply accepted his card. “Easier for the daily briefings. We’ll be working late most nights.”“Oh,” I said, far too quickly. “Right. Of course.”Leah’s gaze alternated between us, curiosity flashing like a needle. “If you need anything, either of you, the concierge already has your pro

SARA’S POVI stared at Derek’s contact name on my screen until the display dimmed. My thumb hovered over the call button, but I couldn’t make the call. It felt like something inside of me had frozen still, stopping me and eventually, it caused me to fold and I locked my phone.No more calling, at least not tonight.I could always try Mrs Rodriguez's number again tomorrow and speak to Danielle.Avoidance. That was what I was doing right now and I knew that. I was running from my disturbing thoughts that revolved around Derek of late and I couldn’t even bear to admit to myself that it was what I was doing.Instead, I turned and trailed my steps back to where Alaric stood with hands in his pockets.His posture was relaxed yet he still looked incredibly alert, occupying space even without the intention to dominate. When he saw me, he straightened. It was a casual instinctive motion but it still made my eyes flicker, because he had done that once before and I’d read nervousness in the
