LOGINCassandraThat morning, we woke up feeling very happy.Miles woke up with a big smile on his face, and he immediately hugged both me and Sebastian.“Morning, Mom, Dad!”He woke up earlier than us, causing both of us to wake as well, and we responded with smiles.I knew this place held many memories for him. And after greeting me good morning, he quickly left the room.Sebastian and I let out a breath as we shifted and looked at each other.“Ah, he’s really excited.”Sebastian nodded and pulled me closer into his embrace.I didn’t know how much time passed, but we took things slowly. And when we finally appeared in the dining room, I saw that Miles had already bathed and was neatly dressed.I knew Ellen had taken care of him, and that made me feel at ease.After we had breakfast, we planned to leave this place. We might go for a walk somewhere else.Miles hugged Paul and Ellen very tightly. “Grandpa, Grandma, don’t forget to visit me.”Miles looked sad. I understood that the short time
CassandraI had a moment filled with peace. Dinner ended on a very happy note, even though our gathering hadn’t truly come to an end.They were still in the living room, chatting about many things or playing small games. Meanwhile, I stepped outside, looking for some fresh air as I let out a long breath.The moments I had spent with them kept replaying in my mind, and it made me smile.As I looked up at the sky, I felt a sense of emotion welling up inside me. It turned out that I had fought so hard and gone through so much. There were times when I wanted to give up, yet somehow I managed to get through it all.I kept hoping that I would continue to grow stronger and be filled with happiness. But I also knew that both Sebastian and I had quite a number of enemies in this world.Without realizing it, I let out another breath. “Ah… am I overthinking?”“What exactly are you thinking about, Sandra?”Someone approached and stood beside me. Her face was calm, and her red hair fluttered in th
CassandraLately, I’ve felt constantly surrounded by an overwhelming sense of happiness—so much so that I can’t help but believe the future will always feel like this.After spending fifteen days on vacation together as a family of three, today, for the first time again, I decided to attend the invitation from Ellen and Paul.This dinner even surprised me, because Dylan was there too—with Maria.“Hi.” Maria greeted me calmly.Actually, Maria and I were never close. Our relationship used to feel more like rivals. Back when she couldn’t have Dylan, she often looked at me sharply. But she never did anything bad to me.After the misunderstanding before was resolved, Maria and I can now talk more comfortably.“Hi. Have you been here long, Maria?”She shook her head. I glanced at Dylan beside her—he stayed silent, but his attention was clearly fixed on her.“We just arrived about ten minutes ago,” Maria replied.All this time, I had been quietly observing her. After the attack she went thro
SebastianWith so much enthusiasm, I always spend my time doing activities with my small family. Every time I see Cassandra and Miles’s faces, it makes me happy.This is something I’ve wanted for a long time, and now I finally have it.After working hard again and again, my efforts and my apologies were truly accepted.Because of that, I’ve become someone who now believes in God more deeply.The sound of bells echoed loudly, again and again, and I glanced to my side. Cassandra and Miles were still immersed in their prayers. My heart filled with relief once more.I’m lucky to have them.Since then, I’ve come to believe in God again—also because of Cassandra, who brought me back. From her, I learned how she became more devoted and prayed more often in church, especially since the time Miles was ill.Now, Cassandra and I regularly donate to the church managed by Father Hans. They handle the funds transparently and help people in need.When Cassandra opened her eyes, I panicked for a mome
CassandraI went to the café earlier than Sebastian and Miles, because they were at a store buying a few things Miles wanted.Since my condition wasn’t very good right now, I couldn’t keep accompanying them. So they asked me to wait at the café across from the store.I took a few deep breaths. The stiffness in my back and shoulders was quite noticeable. Even though I hadn’t done much today. Yesterday we did look for shells, but only for two hours.After that, we just painted and did relaxing activities.A waiter approached me.“Hot chocolate,” I said.Right now, I felt like drinking it—it might actually help me relax more.While waiting for my order, I kept watching Sebastian and Miles. Sometimes I could still see them, and every time I did, I felt more at ease.A smile appeared on my face automatically. I was sure the two of them were enjoying their time together.When my drink arrived, I leaned back against the chair and tried to relax more. Slowly, it worked, and I felt relieved.I
Cassandra“Is she really okay?” I asked anxiously.I know what it feels like to be on the verge of death. It’s terrifying. It can become a trauma that keeps haunting you.When I heard that Maria had gone through an attempted murder, my body tensed immediately. I was truly worried that something might happen to her.That’s why I contacted Dylan. He was by Maria’s side, protecting her.“Honestly, I’m not sure about what she said, Sandra.”I nodded slowly. I understood very well that it sounded forced. Just like what happened to me—I struggled to get through it calmly. I tried not to make others worry.So I kept saying that I was fine. And Dylan is the kind of man who understands that. I’m sure that even if Maria isn’t truly okay, Dylan will stay by her side and make her feel safe.In the past, when Dylan did that for me, he did it sincerely. Thinking about that, I let out a breath.“Dylan, if you need anything, you have to tell me.”Hearing his laugh, I felt slightly dismissed. Well, af
Dylan“Dylan, are you okay?” Maria held my arm quite tightly.When I came back to my senses, I looked at her again. The worried expression on her face made me reach out and touch her hand.“I’m fine.”The man who had been talking with her earlier had already left. I didn’t need to think about what
Cassandra“I heard the story from Cillian, Sandra.”She quickened her steps slightly so she could look directly at my face.“Why didn’t you tell me about it?”Erica looked so radiant when she talked about the dinner I had with Cillian. Damn, I didn’t expect that man to be such a chatterbox. He even
CassandraDylan immediately looked at me with a completely shocked expression. He probably never expected me to say this now, in front of his friends.It made me smile. I liked the reaction he gave, and it made me even more certain that his friends didn’t know yet about how close he and Maria had b
SebastianI could feel my heart beating wildly with panic as I fell onto her body; my body responded the moment it touched hers. I wouldn’t lie— even my lower parts had tensed.Cassandra, she really had no idea what she was doing. I wanted to ignore this, to leave immediately because she was drunk.
