SIX MONTHS LATER…Imogene Scott The late afternoon sun filters through the large windows, casting a golden glow on the room. I stand at the door beside Damien, welcoming our guests with a smile. It’s Lily’s third birthday and I can hardly believe it. Six months ago, the very thought of celebrating anything seemed impossible. Now, here we are, surrounded by balloons, streamers, and the sound of children’s laughter filling Damien’s house.He had insisted on hosting the party at his house because he thinks it’s going to be a hassle for guests to attend a party at an apartment on the sixth floor of building. I totally disagree but I had to give in because if I didn’t, he would bring up how over the past few months, I’ve been turning down his offer for me and Lily to move in with him.I glance at Damien as he greets our guests. His hand is resting lightly on the small of my back. His smile is easy and relaxed. He leans toward me and whispers, "I can’t believe we’ve made it this far.

Imogene Scott I’m unable to take my eyes off the ring as Breonna and I pack up after the party. Emmett also stayed behind to help and for some reason, those two do not seem to get along at all. I leave Breonna and Emmett to oversee taking down the balloons while Damien and I walk our remaining guests out of the house—Dad, Lila, Aunt Tilly and Kia.“I’m so glad you came, Dad.” I say, pulling him into a hug.He pats my back. “I’m so glad everything is finally working out.”Lila gives me a hug too, while Damien shakes hands with Dad. As Dad and Lila get into their car and drive off, I turn to Aunt Tilly and Kia.“Thank you so much for coming, Aunt.” I say, putting on my best fake smile.After saying his goodbyes, Damien goes back into the house, leaving just me and Aunt Tilly. “I…want to ask you for a favor, Imogene.” Aunt Tilly says as soon as Damien disappears into the house.I swallow hard. I should’ve known. She suddenly showed up after all these years. I should’ve known somethi

Damien ShawBeing out of the office for six months was something I didn’t think I would be able to do until Lily’s illness. Imogene and I had taken time off work for six months to take care of Lily and be there for her. Now that everything has finally fallen back into place, she back running her gallery and I’m back at IMU.Most of all, dropping Lily off at school today gave me the kind of fulfillment I never thought I’d ever feel. My family is finally okay again. Last thing I’m the least is for m and Imogene to be together again legally. But I don’t want to push her into doing anything or rush her. I recently just proposed so I’ve decided to give it time.My heart soars with happiness as I pull up in front of IMU. It feels nice to be back at the company after so long. It’s all thanks to my assistant, Miles who’s been overseeing every activities in the company, that IMU is still running smoothly.“Good morning, Mr Shaw.” Gerald says I step out of the elevator when it dumps me on th

Imogene Scott I steel myself as I make my way out of my office. Keith’s here and I’m not even sure why. Standing outside the gallery, I can see his car parked across the street. I walk over to it and gently knock on the window. He pulls down the windows and now he’s staring at me with that familiar smile.“Good morning, Imogene.” he says softly.“Hi.”“Coffe?”“Sure.”He gets out of his car and we both cross the street to the popular cafe across the gallery. We take our seats by the window and a waitress takes our orders. “I’m sorry for reaching out to you so suddenly.” Keith starts, leaning back in his seat across me.“It’s fine. You’re good people.”“Right.” his smile is back. “Then on that note, I was wondering…you remember how great Tech Con was?”“Yeah.” I say dryly. I pretty much missed the whole event because my best friend locked me up in a room. But yes, Tech Con was great.“It was all because of our teamwork. And mostly because you put your best into it.” he reiterates.

Imogene ScottWhen I get to the gallery the next day, Keith is already waiting. He must be really psyched about the project. What’s more concerning is that Damien doesn’t seem bothered by the idea. I had already overthought the whole thing and figured he would overreact. But he said, and I quote, “I trust you.”It actually means a lot to me that he does. Which is why I mustn’t fuck this up.“Good morning.” Keith’s says in a chirpy voice. I personally think he’s too happy for a Wednesday morning. He hands me a cup of coffe. “This is for you.”I take it, and we both walk into the gallery. Emmett greets me politely and continues with his workload. Keith and I walk to my office. As we both take our seats, we discuss the terms of our agreement. An affiliate company to KJ Tech is hosting their anniversary and they’re planning on using the same concept as the Tech Con project.Keith’s phone beeps and he gets on his feet and walks out of my office. I take that time check for any texts. Ther
