(BACK TO RORY’S POV)

MY dad never stays with us for up to a week. He never gets the chance too because somehow, his job finds a way of getting in between.

So it was not surprising to me as I found out my Dad was gone when I came downstairs this morning. Rosalie was getting ready to leave for school as she told me that our dad received a call very early this morning.

“I wanted to wake you but he said to let you sleep.” She told me.

I felt my chest tighten but I held my chin up and nodded, acting like I did not really care even though I could feel the hurt in my chest.

“Where’s Aunt Ryan?” I asked throwing a quick glance around the living room where we were standing.

“She took dad to the airport and then went to have some work done. She isn’t gone yet, she’ll probably be here when you get back home.” She said to me as she zipped up her bag and put the strap over her shoulder.

“Do I sleep so deeply? It’s like everyone planned today without me knowing.” I murmured folding my arms

  • When Best Friends Kiss   The Hummingbird and the Blueprint

    The lawsuit’s withdrawal didn’t bring silence. It brought a different kind of sound. The world, having failed to reclaim Todd through legal force, began to whisper. The story, polished and re-framed, seeped out—not as a tale of corporate defeat, but as a curious footnote in business journals: “The Quant Who Grew Figs.” Eleanor, it seemed, had talked, her silk blouse stained with more than just fruit. The image of the former high-frequency trading phenom, handing out figs in a greenhouse while wearing a sleeping infant, proved strangely compelling to a culture weary of its own abstraction.The first letter arrived on thick, artisanal paper. It was from a lifestyle magazine, requesting a “photo essay.” Then came the email from a tech visionary wanting to discuss “bio-integrated systems.” A documentary filmmaker left a voicemail, her voice hushed with reverence. They all wanted a piece of the parable. They wanted to stand in the humidity, to taste the fig, to briefly borrow the terrifyin

  • When Best Friends Kiss   The Weight of the First Bloom

    The transition from a biological future to a biological reality occurred at three in the morning, under a moon that turned the greenhouse glass into a sheet of frosted silver. Rory arrived not with the sharp, clinical efficiency of the world Todd had abandoned, but with a primal, messy urgency that defied any projection. When the first cry finally broke the stillness of the nursery, it didn't sound like a disruption; it sounded like the final piece of the garden’s ecosystem clicking into place.By the time Rory was three months old, the "learning garden" Todd had built was no longer a theoretical project. It was a lived-in landscape. Todd moved through the greenhouse with the baby strapped to his chest in a dark canvas carrier, the infant’s head bobbing against the rhythm of Todd’s heartbeat. The high-frequency trader who once calculated risks in milliseconds now spent forty minutes explaining the architecture of a single nasturtium leaf to a human who couldn't yet speak."Look at the

  • When Best Friends Kiss   The New Life Archictecture

    Six months had passed, and the physical world seemed to bend toward the life we were creating. Todd’s transformation was no longer a headline or a corporate rumor; it was written in the callouses on his palms and the way he moved through the humid air of the sunroom. The man who once obsessed over quarterly earnings and high-frequency trading now spent his mornings in the north corner of the greenhouse, where the wisteria—now reinforced with reclaimed steel—dripped like purple waterfalls. He was building a "learning garden" within the glass walls: low-set planters at a toddler’s height, filled with sensory herbs like lamb’s ear and lemon balm. He didn’t hire a contractor; he spent his days hand-planing cedar, his movements guided by a seasonal patience that the digital world could never replicate.The peace was briefly interrupted on a humid Tuesday when a sleek black sedan crawled up the gravel driveway, kicking up dust that settled on the lavender. Out stepped Marcus, Todd’s former

  • When Best Friends Kiss   Blooms.

    The fog that had once symbolized uncertainty was now just a natural part of the morning ritual, rolling off the hills to dew the glass of the massive, wrap-around greenhouse that had swallowed the original sunroom.Three years had passed since the "Greenhouse Effect" became more than a metaphor.I stood by the potting bench, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and blooming jasmine. My hands were deep in a mix of peat and perlite, but for the first time in my life, the tactile grounding of the soil wasn't working. My stomach felt like it was doing a slow, rhythmic roll—a motion that had nothing to do with the swaying of the ferns above me.The house was no longer a corporate asset; it was a sanctuary. After two years of litigation, the board had retreated, realizing that a public trial against a "man of the earth" was a PR nightmare they couldn't afford.Todd didn't look like a CEO anymore. As he walked through the glass doors, carrying a crate of heirloom saplings, he looked li
