21!Surprise!

Sylvia After a stressful day at work, Dr. LindaI called me that an impromptu meeting was scheduled this evening and it was a very important meeting. I packed my bags and headed for the conference room, admits my tiredness and fatigue.Getting to the conference room I pushed open the door to the conference room, expecting nothing more than the usual project update with my team. My mind was still half-tangled in work, charts, emails, budgets, and I was already thinking of what I would say first.But I barely took two steps inside when the lights flipped on, and a loud chorus of “Surprise!” exploded all around me.I stopped in my tracks, completely stunned.The room, usually so plain and clinical, had been transformed. There were colorful streamers hanging from the ceiling, balloons floating by the windows, and a giant cake at the center table. Applause filled the air, and smiling faces turned toward me.My eyes widened. “What is…? What’s going on?” fatigue and tiredness immediately lea

21!Did he just ask me to dinner?!

SylviaI was about to step into the elevator when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and there he was, Logan, with that same boyish confidence in his stride and an almost too-perfect smile tugging at the corner of his lips.I thought he had left, one of the investors had just called me back up on our way downstairs, and I had to make a u-turn back upstairs. We said our goodbyes, then he walked away. I had seen him walk to his car.“I thought you had gone?” I asked curiously.“Ohh, Maryanne called me back up, almost immediately.”“Okay.”“Sylvia!” he called out, staring at me blankly.“Yes”“Would you like to join me for dinner tonight?” he asked, his voice low, a bit hopeful, and surprisingly sincere. “Just the two of us.”I blinked, caught off guard. After the celebration earlier today and the rush of emotions that came with it, I hadn’t expected anything more. Definitely not… this. “Did he just ask me to dinner?,” I asked myself.I opened my mouth, my first instinct to say

23!Their silence was delicious

Sylvia I woke up with a pounding headache. My head felt heavy, like I had spent the entire night partying hard. But I hadn’t taken a drop of alcohol, not even a sip of wine. So why did I feel this drained? I feel very exhausted.Groaning, I dragged myself out of bed and walked to the bathroom. As I splashed water on my face, everything from the previous night came rushing back.“Oh no. Arhhhhhhh,” I screamed.I gasped, my hand flying to my mouth. Logan had carried me inside. I had fallen asleep in his car, again, for the second time, on our way back home, and instead of waking me properly, he picked me up in his arms and brought me home like… like I was some sleeping beauty.My cheeks turned hot as fire. I touched my face, which was burning from blushing too hard. It was as red as a tomato paste. “Do bad I'm not cooking now,” I thought to myself.“No no no, What was I thinking?” I whispered to myself, shaking my head. “Get a grip, Sylvia, get a grip. There is no need to panic.”I sta

24!Aiming to humiliate me

Sylvia I walked into the hospital, my mind still tangled in knots from the drama at home. Maryanne’s snide remarks, Emily’s mockery, they echoed in my head like an annoying ringtone that refused to go silent. Although I stood up to them and trained myself not to be affected by their words, I couldn't just help it. My heart was heavy, my head was pounding, and I didn’t even notice where I was going.That was when it happened.I collided with someone, hard.We both tumbled to the floor. For a moment, everything froze. My hand went straight to my side as a sharp pain shot through my waist. I winced but quickly scrambled to my feet. My first instinct was to help the person out."I'm so sorry!" I began, only to stop when I saw the woman I'd bumped into.She was pregnant.My heart skipped a beat. I was a little bit scared something had happened to her. "Oh my God, are you okay?" I rushed to help her up gently. “Please, I didn’t see you coming. I’m really sorry.”But before I could finish,

25!It's just fatigue!

LoganI walked into the hospital with the sole intention of discussing the pending project with Maryanne. I wasn’t in the mood for anything extra. But as I stepped through the main entrance, I noticed a large crowd gathered near the hallway, all whispering and craning their necks toward something, or rather, someone.Curious, I tilted my head to see.It was Sylvia.She stood right at the center of it all, shoulders tense, her face trying to hold strong. A pregnant woman was yelling at her, clearly angry and accusing Sylvia of something serious. My first instinct was to run over and defend her, to pull her out of the madness. But just as I was about to move, I paused.Sylvia’s voice rose calmly, but firm. She was defending herself with dignity. She apologized over and over, but the woman didn’t want peace, she wanted drama. The last words the woman said had hit Sylvia so hard that she had to speak up for herself.“Ma’am,” she said, voice clear and loud enough for the crowd to hear, “I

26!Stirring up past memories!

LoganAfter making sure Sylvia was stable and had promised to rest, I finally made my way back to my office.I couldn’t shake the guilt I felt. She had looked so worn out, so vulnerable… and seeing her collapse like that hit me hard. Sylvia, strong, fearless Sylvia, was human after all. And I’d played a part in the weight she now carried.I was still thinking about everything that happened when I pushed open the door, and froze.There he was.Victor. My cousin. My closest friend. My occasional pain in the neck.He was sitting comfortably in one of the guest chairs, arms crossed, with that familiar cocky smile on his face. As usual, he gave off that calm and friendly aura that made people like him instantly.“Vee!” I called out, surprised and happy to see him. I walked up and clapped him on the back. “When did you get in?”Victor stood up and pulled me into a quick hug before sitting back down. “Logan, it’s been too long,” he said, chuckling. “I got in about an hour ago.”“You know I d

27!Grab a full bag of popcorn!

LoganThe restaurant was alive with the soft clinking of cutlery and quiet jazz music playing in the background. Dim lighting gave it a warm, cozy feel, and the aroma of freshly baked bread filled the air.I had taken Victor to the restaurant we always come to with my sister back in the days and the one I also brought Sylvia to.“This scenery is still as cozy as ever,” Victor said with a smile.“Yeah, although it just has a five star rating, it is a very good restaurant.”“This restaurant should be a seven star rating, the scenery is very nice.”“Mmmm.”Victor and I had just been seated near the window when something, or rather, someone, caught his eye.He froze, his hand halfway to picking up the menu.“What’s wrong?” I asked, curiously.Victor squinted toward the far corner of the restaurant, then his face lit up. “Wait a second… is that…?”He stood up so quickly he nearly knocked his chair over.“Victor?” I called after him, confused.But he was already walking across the room. I t

28!Welcome home!

Violet The warm air hit me the moment I stepped onto the private walkway of the airport. I pulled my shades down and took a deep breath. The smell of home, slightly dusty, slightly sweet, slightly chaotic, filled my lungs. After three years abroad, I was finally back.Dragging three heavy bags behind me, my phone in my hand, my handbag hanging by a thread off my shoulder, I must have looked like a one-woman circus. But I didn’t care. I was excited. I was going to see Sylvia.I smiled just thinking about her. My best friend. My soul sister. Although we came from the same state, we only met when we got to school. It was one of the best decisions to be friends with her. She had begged me for months to return once I finished my program. And when she bought a house in GRA just for me? I knew it was time.As I moved through the hallway, I noticed someone walking in my direction. A tall guy, built like a wall, his head buried in his phone. I tried to dodge him, juggling my bags like a profe

29!Some friendships feel like home!

Sylvia I woke up earlier than I expected today, feeling full of energy and really happy. The tiredness I’d been feeling all week was suddenly gone. I thought I’d sleep in, but I guess I’m just too excited to see Violet again, and I also want to help her since she hurt her hand.I freshened up quickly and went downstairs. I picked up the breakfast that had been prepared for me, but as usual, I threw it in the bin. Then I stopped by the kitchen to speak with the head cook. I told her to stop making breakfast for me since I never eat it and always end up throwing it away. I didn’t want anyone to think I was wasting food on purpose.Once I was done, I got into my car and headed straight to Violet’s place, after picking up a few things for her.When I got to her house, I rang the bell twice before she finally opened the door.“What took you so long?” I asked, walking in.“I was brushing my teeth, so I didn’t hear at first.”“Whatever. How’s your hand? Did you sleep well? Do you like your

30!How can you be friends with a rude punk!

Sylvia The next day, I woke up early, in order to get some food items, essentials and snacks for violet, since I would be returning back home today.Seeing I arrived early and still had time, I went back to bed to rest. We woke up quite late. We were just lazing around, relaxing.I smiled as Violet leaned back on the couch, her legs crossed lazily, one hand holding her wrapped wrist, the other playing with her hair.“Well,” I said, placing a shopping bag gently on the table, “let’s finally get you settled in. You haven’t even explored half of this house yet.”Violet raised an eyebrow. “I still can’t believe this place is actually mine. Like, mine for real.”“It is,” I said with a proud smile. “And you better enjoy every single part of it.”She stood up slowly. “I would enjoy it more if my left hand wasn’t hanging like wet spaghetti.”I laughed. “That’s what I’m here for, your personal helper and house tour guide.”We started with the living room. It already looked warm and cozy, with
