Alex laid on his back as he inhaled Sophia’s hair before his fingers brushed through it. The sheets twisted beneath them, tangled like their bodies still were minutes ago. Sophia lay half-draped across Alex’s chest, her fingers tracing faint, absent-minded lines over the center of his stomach while her cheek rested near his heart. It was racing. His arm wrapped lazily around her, but his hand hadn't stopped moving, trailing slow circles against her shoulder, up her neck, into her hair. His other hand rested lightly on her wrist, where her scrunchie had slipped a little during everything. Alex’s eyes dropped to it. He brushed his thumb along the band, his fingers moved gently as they shifted the scrunchie slightly, until something else underneath caught his eye. A black headband. Thinner. Almost faded and folded small to tuck under the scrunchie. He felt Sophia’s breath hitch ever so slightly against his chest as his fingers brushed the scrunchie. “You never take this off,” he mu

He laughed, lowering himself to brush his nose against hers. “Fair. But I loved you before we started, during, and after. My brain may be rebooting, but the love’s already hardwired.” Sophia smirked, but her eyes softened. “You don't believe me?” He asked, brushing his fingers on her scrunchie, his gaze trailing over her flushed skin. Sophia’s eyes trailed over him as his words sank in. She did. She believed him so much. Bu-bum. Bu-bum. His heartbeats raced. How could she not when she could feel the drum of his heartbeat? A moment passed before she answered, “I do. It’s just the timing.” Alex chuckled low, and his finger brushed against her skin. “Alright. I guess I'll keep saying it until the timing is right.” His gaze dropped, trailing down the length of her arm, catching on the scattering of freckles along her shoulder. They were faint golden flecks he hadn't noticed before. They looked so beautiful, like tiny scattered constellations or even sun-kissed dots.

Sophia glanced over her shoulder toward the slightly ajar bedroom door, heart beginning to pound in her chest. Had they been too loud? She thought they’d kept their voices down. She had kids, for heaven’s sake. She should’ve known better. She mentally scolded herself.Her shoulders stiffened, and she met his gaze again, willing herself to stay composed.“I heard you from my room,” Aiden went on, entirely unaware of the fear brewing in his mom’s chest. “You were arguing with someone.”Arguing? A frown settled on Sophia’s brows, then she blinked, trying to comprehend his words.“I–” She shook her head, letting out a nervous laughter before adding, “What?” “Was it Auntie Olivia?” Aiden asked innocently, lifting a brow as he held his mother’s gaze. “You sounded kind of mad.”Realization of what he actually meant slowly settled in.Sophia’s entire body deflated with a sharp breath. Relief flooded her limbs so fast she had to hold the door frame for balance. Arguing. He heard arguing. Wha

That made her look up. Something soft and assuring settled in her heart.She nodded at his words, and her lips parted; her voice was quieter this time. “Okay,” she said, then added, “Why aren’t you coming back tonight?”Alex's expression eased like something unclenched in his chest just from hearing her ask.“I have to catch a flight to Madrid,” he said. “Meeting with a few investors on a particular project. One of them’s only available tomorrow morning, so I need to be there tonight.”Sophia’s brows lifted slightly. “Madrid?”He gave a faint nod. “Just for a day. I’ll be back by Friday, at the latest. I made sure of it.”She nodded slowly, her lips pressing together. “Alright.”Alex stepped closer again, as if reading the quiet thoughts still circling behind her eyes. “Sophia,” he said gently, “I’ll be back in time for the fun fair. I promise.” His fingers brushed through her arms as he stared down at her.“Alright,” A small smile finally settled on Sophia’s lips, then she added, “I’

The days ran by so fast, and soon it was the eve of the fun fair. But compared to how excited about the event Addie had been, she was sourly in a grumpy mood that night, she couldn’t eat, and at first had been asking about her father.Unfortunately, Alex hadn’t arrived yet, and Sophia had been trying to reach out to him for the past couple of hours, but the call kept taking her to voicemail, and slowly she grew worried because she had spoken to him earlier that morning, and he had told her he was arriving at Evermore that night. And now she couldn’t reach him.Addie had been uncharacteristically grumpy all evening. Her mood was so sour that even Aiden was affected by how down his sister looked. Every time she said something and he retorted, Addie would simply roll her eyes instead of saying anything in return. That was as unusual as it sounded, and even Sophia couldn’t hide her worry anymore.The little girl sulked on the bed beside Sophia, her arms folded across her chest and her bro
