I stood in the middle of the beach, the sound of the waves crashing against the shore filling the air. The sun was beginning its descent, casting a golden glow over everything. It was perfect. Simple yet breathtaking, just the way I knew Shawna would love it.

The gentle breeze carried the salty scent of the ocean, blending with the faint fragrance of the flowers we had carefully arranged along the aisle. White chairs stood neatly in rows, facing the beautifully decorated arch where we would say our vows. Fairy lights twinkled in the early evening light, creating a magical ambiance. The entire setting was intimate, just family and a few close friends, exactly what I wanted for Shawna.

“Dad, are we sure this is enough?” Phoebe asked, looking around with excitement. Her small hands clutched onto the hem of her dress as she took in the scene.

I turned to her with a smile, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

“It’s perfect,” I assured her, ruffling her hair. “Your mom doesn’t

    RAMONI had just come back from the bathroom, drying my hands on a towel, when my phone buzzed. The screen flashed with a hospital number. My stomach dropped.I answered immediately. “Hello?”There was a slight pause before a woman’s voice came through. Nervous. “Mr. Ramon?”“Yes, this is he.”“We… we’re really sorry to inform you that Miss Teresa is no longer in her room.”I blinked. “What?”“She’s gone. We believe she left within the last hour. A nurse went in to check her vitals and she was just gone. There’s a note. She left it for you.”My throat went dry. “What do you mean gone? She can barely walk. How did no one stop her?”“We’re investigating how she slipped past security,” the nurse said quickly. “But she was alert and calm at her last check-in. She must have planned it. I… I’m really sorry.”I didn’t answer. I just hung up.The phone slipped from my hand to the couch.Phoebe sat across from me, legs curled up under a blanket, her face lit by the soft blue glow of the movie

    PHOEBEI was propped up in bed, a pillow behind me and another one tucked under my arm. My body still ached in places I didn’t want to name, and the scars were tender, healing slowly. But Ramon was there. Always. Like a full-time shadow.“You didn’t have to do all this,” I mumbled as he dipped his fingers into a jar of lotion and started rubbing it gently onto my arms.He didn’t say anything at first. Just kept his eyes focused on what he was doing, careful and soft. His touch was light but purposeful, as if he thought I might break all over again if he wasn’t gentle enough.“I want to,” he finally said.I looked at him. His face was tired, but there was something fierce in his eyes. Something stubborn.“You’re either the best boyfriend ever or trying to make me gain ten pounds with all this pampering,” I joked, trying to lighten the mood.He smiled a little. “I want you healthy and bossy again. I miss the way you yell at me.”That made me laugh, but my laugh got caught in my throat.

    STEPHENHer hair was a mess, falling over her face and pillow like waves of black ink. One arm was tucked under her cheek, the other flopped over my chest. Her leg was still draped over mine, warm and soft.I didn’t move.I just stared.She looked peaceful. Her lips were slightly parted, one corner of her mouth curved up just a little. A bruise had formed on her bottom lip, from where she’d bitten it while kissing me. I should’ve felt guilty, but all I could think about was how much I wanted to kiss her again.I leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her bare shoulder."You're beautiful," I whispered, knowing she couldn't hear me. "Even when you're asleep."She stirred. Her brows knit together for a second before she blinked slowly.I smiled. "Morning."She mumbled something, her voice groggy and low. "You smell like trouble."I laughed under my breath. "Only a little."She turned her face toward me, eyes still barely open. "Stephen.""Yeah?"She gave a lazy smile. "You're staring.""I

    WINNIEThe second the door closed behind us, I turned around and looked at him.Stephen.His shirt was still rumpled. His jaw was still stained with dried blood. His eyes were on me, tired, but locked in. Alive.And mine.I didn’t wait.I pushed him, gently but fast, against the wall. “I need you,” I breathed.His back hit the hallway wall, and before he could say anything, I kissed him. Hard. My hands grabbed the front of his shirt like I was afraid he’d slip away if I didn’t hold tight.His hands went to my waist.His throat moved as he swallowed.“You scared me,” I said, and my voice cracked. “Don’t ever do that again.”“I won’t,” he whispered. “I promise. I swear.”But it wasn’t enough. I needed more. I needed him real, here, warm under my hands.I kissed him again, my mouth desperate against his. I could feel his heartbeat thudding beneath my palms, feel his breath hitch against my cheek. His hands slid from my waist to my back, up under my shirt, his touch hot and shaking just l

    WINNIEI was pacing. Again.Back and forth in front of Phoebe’s hospital room, like my feet couldn’t stand still, even though my heart already felt like it had stopped a thousand times. My palms were sweaty. I kept rubbing them against my jeans, trying to stop the shaking, but it wasn’t working. Nothing was working.Phoebe was alive.That’s what the nurse had said. That she was stable for now. The doctor would talk to us soon.But the minute I heard the word “alive,” my mind immediately went to him.Stephen.Was he alive too?He’d gone in after her. Bloodied. Beaten. Unbreakable, but still human. Still bleeding when they wheeled him in.“Where is he?” I whispered to myself for maybe the hundredth time.I hated this hallway. I hated the silence. The waiting. The fear.Then I heard footsteps.I turned fast.And there he was.Stephen.Walking toward me like something out of a nightmare and a dream all at once. His shirt was stained with blood, still dried in dark patches across his chest

    RAMONI carried her in my arms, her head resting against my chest. Her body was trembling, and her skin felt cold. I could feel how weak she was, how much pain she was in. Her breathing was shallow, but she was conscious."You’re okay. You’re okay, babe. Just hang in there," I said softly, holding her tighter as I walked as fast as I could through the broken hallway.She gave a faint smile, barely lifting her lips. "You’re not as smooth when you’re scared, you know that?"I let out a shaky laugh. My chest was tight. I could still hear the echoes of gunshots behind us. The chaos, the blood, the screaming. But she was alive. She was here."Can’t be smooth when I almost lost you," I muttered, not even realizing how broken I sounded."You didn’t," she whispered. "I’m still here. Just… sore.""Just sore," I repeated, more to myself than her. "You scared the hell out of me, Phoebe.""I scare everyone. It’s part of my charm," she said, her voice weak, but still teasing.We found a corner far
