LOGINI never pried because I thought that once we were more serious in our relationship, I’d meet them because they were part of his circle, just like he would get to meet Lilly.Looking back at those conversations…I should have asked more. I should have pushed. I should have at least asked for a name. M
SIERRA.“Adrian?”The name leaves Noah’s lips like a ghost.His name and the familiarity in it loops in my mind on repeat, echoing over and over no matter how hard I try to shut it out.“Noah?”Besides me, Adrian stills as if he’s seen a ghost. He looks at Noah like he doesn’t trust what he is curre
He doesn’t move or speak. He doesn’t even blink for a second.Then finally, after what feels like decades, he breathes, “What the fuck…”“Exactly what I thought," I say, looking at a spot on the floor.“I thought she was bad,” he continues, running a hand through his hair, pacing now. “I thought sh
I don’t know how long I’ve been sitting here… Minutes? Hours? Days?Time doesn’t make sense anymore. Not after everything I read. Not after everything I know now.I’ve been sitting here, wracking my brain, trying to understand how I missed it all these years. How I never once got even the slightest

Sierra.Mondays. Don’t you just hate Mondays? I don’t know what it is about this day, but it carries its own cursed energy. Honestly, I’ve never met anyone who truly loves Monday. Even if you love what you do, you can’t help but despise the weight that comes with it.It’s past midday and I’m still s
My heart beats so frantically it feels like it’s trying to claw its way out of my chest. The air in the Wood family dining room suddenly feels thinner, heavier. My fingers tighten against my dress as if that will steady me.And then it happens.Noah’s eyes sweep the room, sharp and cold, and when th
