To live before dying My period
Luna found me in the library.It was past ten, the house quiet in that hollow way that made every sound feel like a confession. I’d been sitting in the armchair by the window, a medical journal open but unread in my lap, just staring out at the dark garden. I heard her before I saw her the click of heels on hardwood, slow and deliberate.“Still working, Nurse Eva?” Her voice was sugar-sweet, the kind that coats a blade.I looked up. She stood in the doorway, dressed in a silk slip dress the colour of red wine, her hair falling in perfect waves. She looked like she belonged in the mansion’s oil paintings, all curated beauty and cold elegance.“Just reading,” I said, closing the journal.She stepped into the room, her eyes scanning the shelves as if she were taking inventory of what was hers. “Nathan used to love this room. Did he tell you that?”“No.”“He’d play the piano in here for hours. Sometimes I’d sit on that couch and just watch him.” She trailed a finger along the spine of a l

EVA POV The morning light came in soft through the tall kitchen windows, laying pale gold stripes across the marble countertops. I was measuring Nathan’s medication into the small weekly organizer when Maria walked in, her eyes wider than usual.“He’s up,” she said, voice low as if sharing a secret. “And he’s in the dining room. Asked for breakfast to be served there. For everyone.”I paused, a capsule pinched between my fingers. “Everyone?” I turned looking at her in surprise as my eyes wideneds “You, me, Luna… even offered to call in James and Theo from the garden.” She shook her head, a faint smile touching her lips. “Said, ‘If we’re all living here, we might as well eat like we mean it ”That didn’t sound like Nathan at all. The Nathan I knew took his meals alone, if he took them at all. More often, he’d grab something on the way to the studio or skip entirely. A shared breakfast felt strangely… domestic. And dangerously inviting.“I have his meds ready,” I said, avoiding Maria’

AUDREY POVThe scent of Henry’s cologne lingered in the air of the bar long after he’d gone, a ghost of a moment that refused to fade. I wiped down the counter one more time, the cloth moving in slow, absent circles. My phone buzzed in my apron pocket, and I already knew who it was before I saw her name glowing on the screen.Eva....I picked up on the third ring, pressing the phone to my ear as I walked toward the back room where the noise of the cooling units could drown out my own restless thoughts.“Hey,” I said, trying to sound light. “Everything's okay?”There was a pause on the other end, the kind that told me she’d been rehearsing what to say.“yeah I'm great over here. Just some drama and work ” she said, her voice low." As expected" I giggled a bit. "So tell me, what's the drama about? Hope you're not being... Yunno, yourself around Nathan?" I continued " Arghhhhh Audreyyyy, seriously?""Common Eva, it's All mighty Nathan Ward. You really don't know the opportunity you ha

AUDREY POV The bar smelled like last night’s whiskey and some trace of lemon polish. I liked that smell..... It was honest and familiar. The kind of smell that reminded you the world was still moving while everyone else was pretending it had stopped.I slowly wiped down a glass one more time, careful to catch every speck of dust. My shift was already halfway over, and the crowd had thinned to the usual late-night regulars who knew better than to get sloppy with the tabs. I let my mind wander a bit, thinking about Eva, thinking about my family more especially me.Eva,My best friend is Over there in that huge, silent mansion, probably hovering over Nathan like she had a clipboard permanently attached to her hand. She didn’t need a boyfriend, not really. But she deserved someone who’d stick, someone who could see her without her having to announce it to the world. I’d do what I could. I always did.The bell above the door jingled, sharp and clean.I looked up.It was Henry.The sight of
To live before dying You slept here ?
'Eva pov'Maria’s knock was always soft, like she was afraid of waking the walls instead of the person inside.Three taps. A pause. Another tap.I blinked myself awake before she even pushed the door open. I must’ve slept harder than I thought, because the morning light had already climbed past the curtains, painting the room in a warm gold.“Good morning,” Maria whispered, poking her head through the door gap. “I didn’t want to scare you.”“You didn’t,” I said, rubbing sleep from my eyes. “What time is it?”“A little past seven.” She entered fully now, carrying her usual tray — a cup of ginger tea, two slices of bread, and that subtle motherly energy she always walked around with. “I thought you might want to eat before you start rounds.”
To live before dying surprise
The room was too quiet and Eva’s hand was still on the doorknob.Nathan’s words were still hanging in the room like smoke:“I don’t like it when you leave the room without saying goodnight.”It wasn’t what he meant to say, but it was the closest he’d been to honesty with anyone in months.His pulse had betrayed him — a faint flutter beneath his throat.And Eva, despite trying to maintain her professional calm, had inhaled a slow, startled breath she couldn’t hide.Her eyes had softened in a way they weren’t supposed to.Not She opened her mouth to talk..... And then A KNOCK.A loud, sharp, perfectly timed knock cracked through the tension like lightning.Eva flinched.Nathan’s jaw tightened — a flash of irritation snapped across his face so quickly only someone standing close would see it.A micro-expression of his eyebrows slicing downward, lips pressed hard, nostrils slicing, all gone in a sec.Then another emotion followed suit but it was something darker, resigned.Nathan mutte
