Brisbane, Australia

The apartment was quiet when Clara walked through the door that evening. Colt was already in bed, his race car bedspread pulled up to his chin, his dark hair tousled against the pillow. Imogen was in the kitchen, nursing a cup of tea and scrolling through her phone.

"You're late," Imogen said without looking up. "Colt asked for you three times. He wanted you to read the dinosaur book again."

"The one with the T-Rex that has the squeaky voice?"

"That's the one. I tried to do

    Cassian woke before dawn, his suitcase already packed, his mind already in Brisbane.He had not slept well. The anticipation of seeing Clara—of being in the same city as her, breathing the same air, walking the same streets—had kept him tossing and turning all night. He had rehearsed what he would say to her a hundred times, and every version felt inadequate.He checked on the children before he left. Emory was asleep in her four-poster bed, her dark curls spread across the pillow, her stuffed bear clutched against her chest. Colt was in his room down the hall—the room with the blue walls and the dinosaur shelves and the race car bed. He was sprawled on his stomach, one arm hanging off the mattress, his T-Rex on the pillow beside him.Cassian stood in the doorway for a long moment, watching his son breathe. I'm going to see your mother, he thought. I'm going to try to bring her back to us. But if I can't—if she's not ready—I'll still come home to you. I'll always come home to you.He

    Clara's second week in Brisbane began with a sunrise over the river and a cup of flat white coffee from the cafe where Imogen had once taught her how to order like a local.She had fallen into a rhythm here. The work was demanding but familiar, the Australian team welcoming and eager for her expertise. She spent her mornings in meetings at the Fortitude Valley office, her afternoons reviewing supply chain proposals, her evenings walking through the city she had once called home. The memories were easier now, less sharp, less painful. She could walk past the hospital without her chest tightening. She could stand outside her old apartment without wanting to cry. She could think about the past without feeling like it was swallowing her whole.She was healing. Slowly. Day by day."Clara, you're a miracle worker," said Marcus, the head of the Brisbane logistics team, as they wrapped up their Monday morning briefing. "I don't know how you untangled that supply chain mess, but the Sydney off

    Texas, United StatesCassian woke to the sound of Emory's laughter.It was a sound he had not heard in weeks not since before the fever, before the seizures, before the long, terrifying days in the hospital. He lay in bed for a moment, letting it wash over him, feeling something loosen in his chest.He found her in the kitchen, sitting at the table with Colt, both of them wearing paper crowns that Maria had clearly made for them. Emory's crown was pink. Colt's was blue."Daddy!" Emory waved at him. "Maria made us crowns! We're the king and queen of the dinosaurs!""I see that. What does that make me?""The court jester," Colt said solemnly.Cassian laughed. It felt good to laugh.Today was Emory's first day back at school. The doctor had cleared her the day before, and she had been bouncing off the walls ever since. She had laid out her uniform the night before. She had packed her backpack three times. She had made a list of all the people she needed to hug."Are you ready for school?

    Brisbane Australia The plane touched down just as the sun was rising over the Queensland coast.Clara had forgotten how beautiful Brisbane was in the early morning. The light was different here softer than Texas, golden and diffuse, painting the city in shades of honey and rose. She pressed her forehead against the window and watched the familiar skyline emerge from the darkness: the twisting ribbon of the Brisbane River, the arched spans of the Story Bridge, the cluster of skyscrapers in the central business district.She was home. Or at least, she had been home once.A car was waiting for her at the airport a black sedan with a driver who held a sign reading Ms. Hayes. Clara smiled at the name. She had been Clara Hayes for five years. It was strange to think that she was Clara Kingsley now, or had been all along.The driver took her to a hotel in the city center, a sleek modern building with views of the river. Her room was on the twenty-second floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows

    Clara spent Thursday making memories.She took the day off work Mr. Aldridge had insisted and devoted every moment to her children. In the morning, she accompanied Emory to her follow-up doctor's appointment. Dr. Chen was pleased with her progress."She's healing remarkably well," he said. "The fever is gone. The seizures haven't returned. She'll need to take it easy for another week or so, but she should be able to return to school soon.""Did you hear that, sweetheart?" Clara squeezed Emory's hand. "You'll be back in school before you know it.""I miss Ms. Patterson. And Ruby. And Caitlyn. And Max. Even though he's loud.""Max is very loud," Clara agreed.In the afternoon, she picked Colt up from school and took both children to the park. They fed the ducks at the pond and played on the swings and ate ice cream from a cart near the entrance. Colt told her about the new dinosaur facts he had learned. Emory showed her the drawing she had made for her bedroom wall."It's our family," E

    Clara had been putting it off for two days.She had told herself she was waiting for the right moment. A quiet evening. A calm atmosphere. A time when the children were asleep and she could speak to Cassian privately, without the weight of their curious eyes and hopeful questions. But the truth was simpler and harder to admit: she was afraid. Afraid of his reaction. Afraid of the conversation. Afraid of leaving.But she could not put it off any longer. She was leaving on Friday night, and they deserved to hear it from her.She arrived at the estate just after dinner, the summer sun still lingering on the horizon. Maria let her in with a warm smile, and Clara found the children in the living room Emory curled up on the couch with her stuffed bear, Colt on the floor with his T-Rex and a new dinosaur puzzle Alexander Sr. had bought him. Cassian was in the corner, reading a report, his reading glasses perched on his nose."Mommy!" Emory scrambled off the couch and ran to her. "You came ba

    The afternoon wore on. The children played until they were exhausted, and then they collapsed on the couch with plates of dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets and carrot sticks. Emory showed Colt her bedroom all lavender and cream and fairy lights and Colt showed Emory the new dinosaur app on his tablet

    The paycheck sat on Clara's kitchen counter like a small miracle.She stared at it for five minutes, running her fingers over the printed numbers. It wasn't a fortune. It wouldn't buy a mansion or a yacht or any of the things Cassian Kingsley had given her without thought. But it was hers. She had

    Cassian woke to a headache banging inside his skull.He groaned and pressed his palms against his eyes. His mouth was dry. His body felt foreign. Fragments of the previous night drifted through his mind Julian's fireplace, Vanessa's laughter, the burn of whiskey but they were broken, impossible to

    The party at Julian's house had burned down to embers.Marcus was passed out on the couch, an empty glass dangling from his fingers. Derek had disappeared into a guest room. Priya was curled in an armchair, heels kicked off. The music had faded to a low hum.Vanessa slept on the chaise lounge by th
