Chapter 151 — Lines That Cannot Be UncrossedRyder’s POVThe door handle stops moving.Silence slams into the room so hard it feels louder than the rattle ever was. My body stays locked in place, every instinct stretched tight, listening for a breath, a step, anything. Ollie stands frozen a few feet behind me, his fear rolling off him in waves I can almost taste.I signal for him to stay back without looking at him. I check the locks, the peephole, the hallway camera feed on my phone. Nothing. Empty corridor, dim lights, no movement. Whoever touched the handle is gone, or never meant to come in at all.That almost makes it worse.I secure the door again, slower this time, deliberately loud, grounding myself in the sound. When I turn around, Ollie has wrapped his arms around his own chest, shoulders drawn inward like he is trying to disappear.Something inside me snaps, not violently, but cleanly, like a cord pulled too tight for too long.I cross the space between us and crouch in fro

CHAPTER 153:Ollie's POV.I wake up to the sound of rain.Not heavy rain. Just soft tapping against the window, like someone knocking gently and waiting to be let in.For a second, I don’t know where I am.My body feels warm. Safe. My cheek is pressed against something solid.Ryder.His arm is around my waist. His chest rises and falls under my ear. His heart beats slow and steady, like it has nowhere else to be.I close my eyes again.I don’t want to move.The past weeks have been full of waking up alone. Full of panic. Full of that sharp fear that sits in your stomach before your brain even understands it.But right now, there is no fear.Just rain. And Ryder. And this quiet moment where nothing hurts.I breathe in slowly.His scent is familiar. Soap and coffee and something that is just him. It makes my chest ache in a good way.I shift a little, and he stirs.“Ollie?” he murmurs, still half asleep.“I’m here,” I whisper.His arm tightens around me like his body did it before his m

CHAPTER 155:Ollie’s POVI wake up to light.Not the sharp kind that hurts my eyes. The soft kind. The kind that feels like it is touching me instead of attacking me.Ryder is still asleep.He lies on his back, one arm thrown over his head. His chest rises and falls slow and steady. I listen to it for a while, like it is music. Like if I stop listening, something bad will happen.I don’t move at first.I’m scared to.Sometimes when things feel too calm, my body waits for the crash. For shouting. For fear. For the sound of a door slamming. My brain tells me peace is temporary.But nothing happens.Ryder doesn’t disappear. The room doesn’t change. The light stays soft.So I move.Slowly, I sit up and pull the blanket around me. My heart feels heavy but not broken. More like tired. Like it ran too far yesterday and needs to rest today.I look at Ryder again.He looks different when he sleeps. Less sharp. Less guarded. Just… human.I wonder what he dreams about.I wonder if I’m in them.I
