The first cry came at dawn.

Cassian was already awake he had been unable to sleep, his mind restless with thoughts of Clara and the launch event and the quiet, nagging feeling that something was about to go terribly wrong. He was in his study, a cup of cold coffee at his elbow, when he heard it.

A wail. High and thin and desperate.

He was on his feet before he could think, his chair crashing to the floor behind him. He ran through the corridors, past the grand staircase, past the portraits of h

    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

    Imogen was packing the last of her boxes when Alexander arrived with takeout."I brought Thai food," he announced. "And wine. And dessert. Because packing is terrible and you deserve rewards.""You're a saint." Imogen took the bag from him and kissed his cheek. "I'm almost done. Just a few more boxes.""You've been saying that for three days.""Because I keep finding more stuff. How do I have so much stuff? I've only been in this country for six months."Alexander sat down on the couch, which was currently buried under a pile of sweaters. "Clara is going to miss you.""I'm going to miss her too. But she'll be fine. She's stronger than she knows.""Have you talked to her about Cassian?""A little. She's still figuring things out. She told him she needs space, and he's trying to respect that. But he keeps sending her flowers and gifts, and she keeps telling him to stop." Imogen folded a sweater and placed it in a box. "It's like they're dancing around each other. Neither one wants to ma

    They sat around the small dining table like old times Clara, Imogen, and Colt, their plates piled with Imogen's slightly overcooked chicken parmesan. It was not the most elegant meal, and the pasta was a little too soft, but it was theirs. A small pocket of normalcy in a world that had been anything but normal."Why didn't you bring Emory?" Imogen asked, spearing a piece of chicken. "I made enough for an army.""An army would probably surrender," Colt muttered."Hey. I'm an excellent cook.""You said yourself it might be a disaster.""Potential disaster. There's a difference."Clara smiled, shaking her head. "I didn't bring Emory because she's still recovering. I don't want to move her around too much. The doctors said she needs rest.""How is she doing?""Better every day. She's stubborn. She gets that from..." Clara paused. "She gets that from both of us, I suppose."Imogen nodded slowly. "And Cassian? How are things on that front?"The question hung in the air. Colt looked up from

    Adrian was at his desk when Clara knocked."Come in."She stepped inside, and his face broke into a smile genuine, warm, uncomplicated. "Clara. You're back.""I'm back. For now, at least." She sat down across from him. "I wanted to thank you. For handling everything while I was gone. For the leave of absence. For... everything.""You don't have to thank me. It's my job.""It's more than your job. You've been a good friend, Adrian. Through all of this. Even when I didn't remember you."Adrian's smile flickered. "I told you once that I would always be here for you. I meant it.""I know. And I'm grateful." She paused. "How are things with Maya?"The smile returned, softer this time. "Good. Really good, actually. She's... she's not you. But she's wonderful in her own way.""That's all anyone can ask for."They talked for a while longer—about the rebranding, about the upcoming projects, about the strange new reality of Clara's life. When Clara finally stood to leave, Adrian caught her hand

    The party had ended. The guests had gone home. The last of the balloons had been gathered up by Maria and Paulina, and the remnants of Elena's magnificent dinosaur cake sat wrapped in foil on the kitchen counter. The house, which had been so full of laughter and noise just hours before, was settling into its evening quiet.Clara stood in the grand foyer, her bag slung over her shoulder, preparing to leave. Colt was at her side, his T-Rex clutched under his arm, his eyes heavy with exhaustion but still fighting sleep."Colt," Clara said, kneeling down to his level, "would you like to stay here tonight? With your father and Emory?"Colt's eyes widened. He looked at Emory, who was sitting on the bottom step of the staircase in her pajamas, her dark curls wild from the day's activities. She nodded vigorously."Just for tonight," Clara added. "I'll come pick you up tomorrow after work."Colt considered this with the gravity of a five-year-old making a life-altering decision. "Will Emory be

    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
