2026-03-29 13:00:19Auri stayed quiet for a moment longer before finally speaking. “Thank you,” she said softly. “And… I’m sorry I can’t fully support you right now.”
Lucas gave a slight shake of his head. “It’s not a problem.”
Silence settled over them again—but it wasn’t uncomfortable. It felt more like a pause they both needed, after everything had moved too quickly.
Gia, who had been standing beside the bed the enti

The days at Nocture slowly began to find their rhythm again.Not as fast as before.Not as quiet as the early days of Auri’s recovery.But steady enough to make everything feel as though it was moving forward.The shop door opened often again from early morning onward, the small bell above it chiming more frequently now. Two new staff members helped under Gia’s direction, greeting customers and moving through the shop with growing confidence.The worktable was no longer empty.Flower arrangements were lined up more neatly than before.Orders came one after another in a rhythm that almost reminded Auri of the days before everything had changed.Auri no longer stood for long hours the way she used to.Most of the time, she sat in the chair near the window, rising only now and then to inspect the arrangements, give instructions, or simply brush her fingers over flowers arranged with the kind of detail she knew by heart.

Morning arrived with light far too bright for a house still holding the tension of the night before.The dining table had already been set neatly, as always, as though nothing had changed.Valencia sat at the head of the table with a calmness that looked carefully constructed.Anna was already there as well, wearing a softness so polished it was nearly perfect. Her eyes were slightly swollen, but not excessively so. Her voice seemed prepared to break with fragility at any moment.Ethan came down the stairs without hurry, his steps steady, but there was something different in the way he looked at the room around him.There was no greeting. No visible reaction.He simply pulled out a chair and sat down, taking the glass in front of him without truly looking at anyone.“You’re up,” Valencia said, trying to open the conversation.Ethan gave a short nod. “Yeah.”Anna glanced at him, then spoke softly. “You didn’t come home la

The room was half-dark, lit only by the desk lamp that cast soft shadows across the walls. The curtains were drawn tightly shut, blocking out what should have been the last light of evening outside.Anna stood near the desk, phone in hand, pacing in short restless steps like someone trying to calm herself and failing. Her face no longer held the softness she always showed in front of others. What remained now was tension and irritation she had not managed to hide.“He lost?” the voice on the other end asked, faint but clear enough.Anna stopped walking and took a long breath before answering.“He didn’t lose. It just… didn’t go according to plan.”“What do you mean it didn’t go according to plan? You had the evidence ready.”Anna gave a short laugh without humor. “That evidence got exposed.”A brief silence followed.“How?”“Someon

Night had settled over the house again by the time Ethan finally returned, his steps no longer as quick as they used to be. There were no phone calls answered during the drive home, no music filling the silence of the car. Only his own thoughts, turning endlessly without direction.When the door opened, the house felt exactly as it had the night before: quiet, orderly, and empty in a way that felt different now, as though the walls still held traces of a life that was slowly fading away.“Ethan?” Valencia’s voice came from the living room.She appeared a few seconds later, relief crossing her face when she saw him. “You finally came home.”Ethan only gave a short nod. “Yeah.”“Have you eaten?” Valencia asked, stepping a little closer.“Not hungry.”Valencia let out a small breath, trying to read something in Ethan’s face, though he had become harder to understand than ever.“You can’t keep going like this.”Ethan said no

That morning did not feel like morning to Ethan at all.Sunlight had long since poured through the bedroom window, yet he was still sitting on the edge of the bed, his body slightly bent forward, both hands resting on his knees. He could not remember the last time he had truly slept. What he did remember were fragments that kept replaying in his mind over and over again—the judge’s voice, that confession, and the empty chair in the courtroom where Auri should have been sitting.“It’s finally over…”The words came back again, but not in his own voice.They belonged to Auri, imagined in his mind, something he thought she might have said calmly.And it was that calmness that made his chest tighten even more.He lifted his head and stared blankly ahead. “Why did I let this happen…” he murmured.There was no answer.Only a silence that seemed to deepen around him.He rem

Morning arrived more gently at Nocture, as if the little shop itself had decided not to rush the start of the day. Sunlight filtered through the front glass, falling softly across the floor and the worktable that was still untouched by activity. The scent of toasted bread and warm coffee filled the air, blending with the lingering fragrance of flowers from the day before.Auri sat in a chair near the window, both hands wrapped around a warm cup, while Gia busied herself arranging a simple breakfast on the small table.“You’re up early,” Gia said as she pulled out the chair across from her.Auri nodded lightly. “I couldn’t sleep much longer.”Gia glanced at her, then slid a plate closer. “Or is it because you’ve been thinking too much?”Auri smiled faintly. “Maybe.”They began eating in a silence that felt easy rather than awkward. Only the soft clink of spoons against plates c

Gia’s sentence faltered. She swallowed hard and covered her mouth, as if afraid she might say something wrong. On the other end of the line, Roy’s voice came through again—firmer this time.“I can’t explain it over the phone, Gia. It would be better if you both came to the hospital now.”Gia frowne

“Thank you for driving me home, Mr. Lucas,” Auri said just before stepping out of his car.“I truly enjoyed our meeting, Miss Aurel—”“Could you just call me ‘Auri’?” she interrupted gently.Lucas looked momentarily surpri

The red sports car glided smoothly through the midday traffic of the city.Auri sat upright. She had tried to relax, but the situation still felt awkward. Her hands were clasped together over the small bag resting on her lap as she continued trying to understand where Lucas was leading the

“It really is.” Auri quickly took out her phone. “Please, may I have your bank account number? I’ll transfer the excess back.”Lucas chuckled softly. “Consider it an additional token of appreciation.”“I can’t accept this.”
