THE GIRL WHO LOVES SUNSET THE RETURN
The early morning light of dawn crept into San Francisco as Ava's cab approached the street where Ethan's apartment was located. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she fought between the eagerness to see Ethan and the trace of apprehension. It had been three long weeks—weeks of non-stop activities at the hospital—but her love for Ethan was never shaken.She got out of the taxi and the chill morning air filled her lungs. She hastened, her heart pounding with every step. Finally, she arrived at his recognizable door.Before she could even knock on the door, it was flung wide open.And there she was.Serena Blake. Slipping into a silk robe, her hair disheveled, a mug of steaming coffee in her hands, Ava could see the ease with which Serena had once owned this space. Ava’s breath caught.“Serena?” Ava’s voice shook. “What… what are you doing here?”Serena’s lips curled into a slow, smug smile. “Ava. I wasn’t expecting to see you back so soon.” She rested against the doorframe, a gleam
THE GIRL WHO LOVES SUNSET CLOSE QUARTERS
Ethan closed the door to the apartment behind him, taking a deep breath. The city outside was calm in the early evening, a murmur of engines and sirens in the distance. The apartment, on the other hand, seemed almost intimate—not the way it had felt with Ava, but a space now filled with Serena.She was standing at the counter, clipboard in her hand, poring over spreadsheets on a tablet computer. Each gesture was deliberate, exactly controlled. As if this apartment was part of her domain, Ethan sensed a twinge of annoyance he didn’t like.“You’re late,” Serena commented flippantly without glancing up from her work. “Several things we need to discuss before the review meeting tomorrow. And this project will not become one that’s late under my watch.”“I had to take an unexpected client call,” Ethan said, attempting to keep his voice matter-of-fact. “Here.” He walked towards the counter and put a cup of coffee beside her workspace. “You look like you could use this.”Serena looked up, an
THE GIRL WHO LOVES SUNSET DISTANCE AND SCHEMES
The city felt light years away. Ava was in her temporary apartment, which was conveniently located near the hospital, the sunlight casting a slanting glare through the blinds on her desk. She had grown accustomed to the rhythm of her new life: the long hours, the mounds of paperwork, the hum of activity at the hospital. but she felt a gnawing sense of distance from San Francisco, from Ethan.She managed to steal moments of solitude in the turmoil: sketching the sunset through her windowpane, scribbling down ideas within the pages of her journal, and even preparing meals reminiscent of home-cooked meals she grew up with. But every night as she settled into slumber, she was very much aware of the fact that she had him right alongside her—the warmth of his space in the room with her."No," she pushed the thoughts away. "I have chosen distance for a reason. I will not let my feelings guide me, even if I want nothing more than he."Meanwhile, across town, Ethan Hart was faced with a realit
THE GIRL WHO LOVES SUNSET UNEXPECTED CALL
The morning light crept into Ava’s apartment, warm and golden, coloring everything it touched. Ava had only just finished brewing a pot of tea and organizing her notes for the day when her phone shattered the stillness.Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at the hospital’s number flashing on the caller ID screen. She answered promptly and attempted to keep her voice calm."Hello, this is Ava Dawson," she said.“Ms. Dawson,” the voice of the nurse was calm and insistent, “we need you to come to the hospital as soon as you can. There’s a problem involving the patient files you have been coordinating.”Ava's pulse raced. "I. all right. When do I need to report?"“As soon as possible. We’ll need you for about three weeks.”Three weeks. The words echoed within her mind. She had been so calculated in her life and her emotional separation from Ethan, and fate had chosen this moment to launch her from the city and away from the only man she loved.Exhaling raggedly, taking in the informati
THE GIRL WHO LOVES SUNSET WHEN LOVE COMES CALLING
Ava's apartment smelled faintly of basil and roasted garlic, a small comfort as she busied herself in the fixing of dinner. The kitchen was her small sanctuary, where she could lose herself in the rhythm of chopping, stirring, and tasting, letting the world-and her worries-fade away, if only for a little while.She was just putting on the finishing touches to a simple pasta dish when her phone buzzed. A glance told her all she needed, sending her heart to skip a beat.Ethan: I left something. Can I come pick it up?Her pulse raced. She stared at the screen, hands still resting on the pasta bowl. The distance she'd tried to keep was now impossibly fragile.No, she told herself firmly. I can't let him sweep into my life again so easily.But after a moment, she let her pride be overruled by her usual pragmatism. I’ll return it myself.When she arrived at Ethan's apartment, the evening lights cast a warm glow across its sleek interiors. He opened the door before she could even knock well
THE GIRL WHO LOVES SUNSET ETHAN IS IN LOVE
Ava’s apartment smelled faintly of vanilla and freshly baked bread. She’d spent the morning experimenting with a simple banana bread recipe, humming softly as she worked. The small kitchen had become her sanctuary, a quiet corner of the city where she could breathe without the constant weight of expectations pressing down.The living room was cluttered in the most endearing way: notebooks stacked neatly on the side table, a sketch of the bay sunset pinned above the couch, and the soft glow of a table lamp spilling over a well-worn armchair. For the first time in weeks, Ava felt a sense of normalcy. A sense of control.Her phone buzzed on the counter, dragging her out of her reverie. She glanced at the screen and felt her pulse quicken.Ethan: Hey… can I stop by? Just to see how you’re settling in?Ava exhaled slowly, trying to steady herself. She had insisted on creating distance, but the thought of seeing him made her chest ache. She typed carefully:Ava: I’m… busy. Maybe another tim
