CAST - I pushed off the bed, moving toward the door, but Lila was in front of me before I could even reach for the handle."Cast, no," she said, blocking my way."I have to go. I'm just screwing everything up. I can't be here."She gripped the front of my shirt and held me in place. "You're not leaving.""I have to." My voice cracked. "I don't deserve to be here. I've ruined everything. You, Declan, Linc. None of you deserve this. Let me go, Lila. Just let me disappear.""No," she said, her grip on my shirt tightening as I tried to pull away. "You're not disappearing. Not this time."I struggled to pull free, but she didn't let go. "Let me go!" I begged, the desperation clawing its way through me. "I don't deserve to be here. You don't deserve this."She yanked me back to her, her hands fisting into my shirt as she pulled me closer. And then she kissed me. Hard.I tried to fight and push her away, but she wouldn't let me. Her lips silenced every thought and fear spinning in my head.

LINC - I carried the oatmeal into the living room, balancing the hot bowl in one hand while watching Lila nursing Declan on the couch. She held him close, focusing on him as she laid her head against the pillow. I walked over and kneeled in front of her."Breakfast is served," I teased, holding the spoon up to her lips. I was enjoying the way her eyes sparkled with amusement as I did."You're going to feed me now?" she asked with a grin."You've got your hands full," I murmured. She took the first bite, her eyes on mine as she tried not to giggle. I took one after her, each bite a shared rhythm that felt like breathing. I jumped up on the couch beside her and kept feeding her."You're spoiling me," she whispered."Good. You deserve it," I answered. We continued sharing each bite. Declan finished nursing and drifted off about the same time we did. She kissed his forehead before gently passing him to me. I cradled him while she stretched."I'll put him down," I whispered. She took the

CAST - It had been a while since I'd left Oxford land, driven somewhere on my own, and actually felt like I could handle it. I wasn't sure I'd even return the last time I was here. I had just started my meds, and everything had felt like a blur. Now things felt more... manageable. Today wasn't about me, though. It was about seeing Selena.The rehab facility looked the same, almost like a luxury resort instead of a medical facility. The manicured gardens stretched out in front of me. I could hear water running somewhere nearby, probably one of the fountains. The calmness here had always been so at odds with what I'd felt the first time. Now, I didn't feel that storm raging inside me. It wasn't perfect, but at least it wasn't chaos anymore.This was also the first time I'd left the household since the meds started working. Lila had asked if I was sure I wanted to go. I told her I had to do this. This time, the real difference was that she believed I'd come back. It wasn't like before

LILA -Cast's phone buzzed again, and I already knew who it was. Selena's name had been popping up on his screen more often lately. He didn't hide it, but something twisted inside me each time her name flashed. It wasn't about not trusting him, because I did. But there was something about their connection that unsettled me. At first, it hadn't bothered me. I'd brushed it off as him catching up with someone from his past. But recently, the frequency had picked up. The messages started coming at all hours, early morning, midday, and sometimes even late into the night when we were supposed to be winding down. The dings and vibrations started to feel intrusive, weaving into our routines, like she was claiming space in our lives without even being here. Across the room, Cast was scrolling through his phone, not even bothering to hide the smile that came when he read whatever she'd sent. It wasn't like he was sneaking around, but he also wasn't explaining anything either. He was lea

The soft hum of my laptop mingled with Declan's little coos as he chewed happily on a colorful teether nearby. Watching him discover everything with such genuine delight always sparked something inside me. A reminder of the simple wonders in this life, even while balancing paralegal studies, motherhood, and the tangled connections between Linc and Cast. This new chapter was challenging, but each piece brought me closer to feeling like myself again. To feel independent and ready to take on the world, no matter what happens in the future. I wasn't going to be caught off guard again. Getting my education was a big step towards that. They both understood and supported me however they could. I was so lucky to have them both, and I knew it. The coursework was invigorating, giving me something completely mine. A space for thoughts that didn't revolve around anyone else. Law had this grounding structure, a reassuring counterweight to the disruption that was my life. I'd catch myself
