The week passed quietly.Dominic kept his word.He disappeared.There were no calls.No messages.No unexpected appearances at AURELIA.No convenient business meetings.No excuses to see me.Nothing.At first, I told myself that was exactly what I wanted.But there were moments when the silence felt heavier than I expected.Especially when Leo asked about him.The first time was during breakfast.Leo was sitting beside me, eating his pancakes while watching a cartoon movie on his iPad. “Mummy?”“Hmm?”“Is Daddy going to be around on Christmas?”My hand stopped halfway to my coffee.I lowered it slowly.“I’m not sure, baby.”“Why?”“He’s busy.”Leo frowned slightly.“But you said he might come.”“I said he might.”“So he might come?”I forced a smile.“He might.”Leo seemed satisfied with that answer and returned to his pancakes.I wasn’t.I stared at my coffee.Busy.That was the excuse I had given him.It was easier than telling my five-year-old that I had asked his father to stay aw

Dinner continued with easy laughter around the table.Gabriella slowly became more comfortable as the evening went on. At first, she mostly listened, smiling whenever someone spoke to her. But before long, she was answering questions, laughing at Pierce’s expense, and even joining in when we teased him.Leo kept finding reasons to speak to everyone, his questions bouncing from one person to another.The table stayed loud until the plates were cleared.Later, we moved outside to the garden.Music played through a Zealot speaker, filling the cold night air while glasses clinked and conversations overlapped.The garden had turned into its own little world.Pierce and Gabriella were talking near one of the seating areas. Ford and Hayes stood together with their drinks, discussing something that occasionally made Ford laugh. Camille had joined them for a while before drifting toward the music.Reed stood farther away, listening to one of the conversations.Leo stayed close to me for a whil

The drive was quiet.Neither of us spoke.I sat with my hands folded in my lap, staring through the passenger-side window as London passed outside.I knew what I had come here to say.I just didn’t know how to say it.My heart had been beating too fast since I got into the car, and every time I tried to arrange the words in my head, they seemed to disappear.Eventually, Dominic turned onto a quieter street.A few minutes later, the car slowed in front of a mansion.He switched off the engine.I looked up.His house was beautiful.But it wasn’t as big as the one in New York. It was a family house. His father’s house.This one was different.Smaller.Quieter.Elegant without trying too hard.It looked like a home meant for a small family.I stared at it for another second before opening the door.Dominic got out as well.He walked around the car, but he didn’t say anything.Neither did I.He simply gestured toward the front door.I followed him.He unlocked it and pushed it open.The mo

We reached the balcony.The cold air touched my face the moment I stepped outside.We both sat on the couch.Then Dominic reached for a blanket resting over the back of the couch and carefully placed it around my shoulders.I pulled it closer.Neither of us spoke.I looked out at the city.London stretched beneath us, its lights scattered across the streets and buildings. From this height, everything looked quieter than it really was.It was beautiful.I let out a slow breath.For the first time since I had arrived, I felt some of the tension in my chest begin to settle.Then I turned.Dominic was looking at me.He looked away almost immediately.I couldn’t help the small smile that touched my lips.I turned back toward the view.For a few more seconds, neither of us said anything.Then I finally spoke.“I read the journal.”Dominic’s head turned toward me.For a moment, he didn’t say anything.Then he leaned back.“I didn’t write that because I thought I was going to give it to you o

I walked through the gate.Fireworks were already exploding across the sky, their colors briefly illuminating the garden before disappearing into the darkness. Music played somewhere near the terrace, mixed with laughter and the sound of voices carrying through the cold night air.I followed the noise toward the garden.And then I saw them.Everyone was there.Leo was in the middle of the garden, dancing without the slightest concern for how ridiculous he probably looked.Pierce had a drink in one hand and was dancing beside him, somehow managing to look even more ridiculous.I laughed softly.Hayes sat at the table with Camille, the two of them talking while Camille occasionally glanced toward the dancing pair.Ford was standing nearby, a smile spread across his face as he watched Leo and Pierce.For a moment, I simply stood there watching them.Something warm settled in my chest.After everything that had happened tonight, this was exactly where I wanted to be.Home.I walked farthe
