POV: Adrian

Adrian didn't think much of his grocery trip. Just a few essentials: eggs, milk, and some snacks for Nora. The sky was overcast, that dull gray hue that made everything feel slightly lifeless. He took his time walking back, not out of fatigue but because the silence allowed his mind to wander.

Since that night, almost, his feelings for Amelia had shifted. It wasn’t due to anything she had done, but rather what remained unspoken between them.

As he approached the safehouse, something unusual caught his attention.

A crumpled piece of paper caught in a bush by the front gate.

He hesitated, balancing the grocery bag on his arm, and reached for the scrap of paper. It was folded and slightly damp from the morning dew. He glanced around and saw no one nearby.

He opened it.

Just one word.

Adrian.

Written in neat handwriting; the kind you use when you’re trying to maintain composure even if your hands are trembling.

His name.

He felt a rush of recognition. It was unmistakably Ameli

  • What the Heart didn't Know   History in the walls

    POV: AmeliaThe next morning just felt weird.Not in a loud or dramatic way, just quieter than usual. It was one of those silences that made your thoughts feel heavy.Amelia was at the sink, letting the warm water run over her fingers while she washed a spoon she barely remembered using. The previous night kept playing in her mind like a soft echo that wouldn’t go away.That moment, his voice, how his hand lingered where hers had been, the way she leaned in, And then how she pulled back.After that, sleep was a no-go. She just lay there, staring at the ceiling and listening to the rain until it finally turned into mist.Now, the sky was a dull gray, making everything seem more muted and slow.In the next room, Nora was humming to herself while stacking crayons and forks on the coffee table. Adrian was out grabbing groceries. He had offered to take Nora with him, but Amelia had said no, maybe because she needed a little time to think, perhaps even feel.---After breakfast, she headed

  • What the Heart didn't Know   Heat and distance

    POV: Adrian---The storm hit by midafternoon, dark clouds, wet pavement, and that constant drizzle that just wouldn't quit. The safehouse, hidden behind tall trees and old stone walls, felt even more cut off than usual.Adrian was fine with storms. He liked the gray and the quiet; it gave everything a chance to slow down.What caught him off guard was when the power cut out around dinner time.“Did we forget to pay the bill?” Amelia asked from the hallway, half-washing a plate.Adrian was already flicking the light switches. No luck.“Nah, I think the whole block’s down,” he replied. “Probably a blown transformer.”She made a sound that was part annoyance, part acceptance. “Well, there goes the lasagna.”“We could always grill it,” he suggested. “Like a campfire.”“You want me to set the kitchen on fire?” “I meant I’d handle the grilling,” he added with a grin.She shot him a mock glare before heading toward the laundry room, mumbling about candles.---By the time they had lit enou

  • What the Heart didn't Know   What She doesn’t say

    POV: AmeliaAmelia stood by the kitchen counter, her attention barely registering the cooling mug clutched in her hands. Instead of focusing on the steam swirling upwards or timing how long it had been since she'd poured her coffee, she was captivated by the scene unfolding in the living room: Adrian and Nora.Nora, with her petite frame, was settled on a cushion on the living room rug, unmoving while Adrian meticulously braided her hair. His fingers worked slowly and gently through each section, as if he were well practiced at this.“Make it tighter this time! Last time, it came undone before lunchtime,” Nora giggled.“I’m being gentle on your scalp,” he replied playfully. “I don’t want to rip it off!”“You actually braid better than Mom,” she declared, loud enough for Amelia to catch.A small smile crept onto Amelia's lips.“Hey! That’s betrayal!” she called out, laughter escaping her.Nora’s grin widened, her reflection dancing in the hallway mirror. “But it’s true!”Adrian glance

  • What the Heart didn't Know   The Shape of Silence

    POV: AmeliaThe morning sunlight flooded the room, seemingly indifferent to the events of the night before.Amelia stood at the sink, washing a coffee mug that didn’t belong to her. The water was scalding hot, but she didn’t mind. She had been scrubbing it for what felt like forever, as if the mug held some hidden truths she desperately needed to wash away.Behind her, Adrian was moving quietly. Too quietly. She sensed he was trying to give her some space. It annoyed her, but at the same time, she craved it.The weight of the previous evening still rested heavily on her chest. The almost-kiss, the way his breath gently brushed her lips, the way he said her name with such tenderness, and how she had flinched back like a coward.Sleep had barely come to her, not just out of guilt, but from fear, the fear that she had taken something genuine and left it suspended in the air, unfinished and raw.“Coffee’s fresh,” Adrian called from behind her.She nodded without turning around. “Thanks.”

  • What the Heart didn't Know   Almost

    POV: Adrian---The rain came back just before midnight.Not the kind that roared and demanded attention, just a soft, steady rhythm against the windows, the kind that felt like a memory.Adrian stood near the hallway, arms folded as he listened. The house had finally gone quiet… or so he thought.Then came the sharp, sudden sound of crying.Not Amelia.Nora.He moved without thinking.When he reached her room, he found her on the floor, arms wrapped around her knees, sobbing hard. Her little shoulders trembled, and she was rocking herself back and forth like she was trying to disappear.Amelia knelt beside her, whispering in a soft, panicked voice. “It’s okay, baby. I’m here. You’re safe.”But Nora wasn’t hearing her.“I hate this place!” she screamed. “I hate the windows! I hate the beds! I hate the way everything smells!”Adrian's chest tightened. He’d seen combat breakdowns, soldiers curled up just like that, minds stretched thin by fear and grief. But seeing it in a child? That h
