2026-04-15 13:00:48The hospital room felt far calmer than it had a few days ago. There were no more hurried footsteps rushing through the corridor, no more suffocating sense of panic tightening in the chest. Only the soft rhythm of medical monitors, blending with the late afternoon light that streamed through the window, creating an atmosphere that was both warm and quiet.

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

The door to Nocture opened slowly, the small bell above it chiming softly as it welcomed Auri’s return after several days in the hospital.The air inside the shop felt familiar. The scent of fresh flowers, faintly sweet and soothing, wrapped around her like something she had missed all this time without fully realizing it.She paused for a moment at the doorway, letting herself feel the room again, before finally stepping inside with careful movements.“You’ve been standing there too long,” Gia’s voice called from within, half teasing. “Are you coming in, or planning to become part of the display?”Auri smiled faintly, then stepped farther inside. “I was just… making sure everything was still the same.”“And?” Gia asked, glancing over as she adjusted a floral arrangement on the table.Auri let her eyes travel around the room. “It is.”Then her steps s

The hospital room felt far calmer than it had a few days ago. There were no more hurried footsteps rushing through the corridor, no more suffocating sense of panic tightening in the chest. Only the soft rhythm of medical monitors, blending with the late afternoon light that streamed through the window, creating an atmosphere that was both warm and quiet.Auri sat half-reclined against the bed, one hand resting lightly over her stomach. She could feel the small movements there, movements that had now become the clearest reminder that she still had something precious to protect.Gia sat in the chair beside her, flipping through a magazine she was not truly reading. Every now and then, she glanced at Auri, making sure the woman did not look too exhausted.“Have you eaten?” she asked at last.Auri nodded faintly. “A little.”“A little is not enough,” Gia replied without looking up. “The doctor said you need to

It was well past midnight when the door finally opened.There were no hurried footsteps, no sharp edge of irritation that had accompanied Ethan’s return for the past few months. Only silence—strange, unfamiliar silence—as if the house no longer recognized the man who had just stepped inside.The living room light was still dim, casting long shadows across the cold marble floor. Ethan stood there for a few seconds at the threshold, his hand still resting on the doorknob, before he stepped in and closed the door quietly behind him.No sound.No greeting.No Auri.He walked further into the room, only to stop in the middle of it, his gaze settling on the sofa they used to share. His breath caught without him realizing it. Everything from today replayed in his mind—the courtroom, the judge’s voice, the staff’s confession, Anna’s tear-streaked face. It all blurred together, striking him again and again wi

“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.”

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
