Arielle did not know that someone was walking toward her.She only knew that the morning felt different.The garden was quiet.Lumen was still asleep beside the dying fire, curled beneath a blanket Cassian had placed around her during the night. Elior sat beneath the old tree with his back against the trunk, watching the first light move through the leaves.Arielle stood near the road.She kept thinking about Solene.Her sister.A person she had loved before she understood what love meant.A person who had chosen to disappear so Arielle could learn that love did not have to become responsibility.And then there was Cael.Her brother.The one who had left.The one who had heard her call his name.Arielle wanted to believe he would return.But she refused to turn that hope into a demand.Cassian came to stand beside her.You are thinking about going after him.Arielle

Arielle could not look away.The woman inside the tree looked exactly like her.Not almost.Exactly.The same eyes.The same mouth.The same small scar beneath her left eyebrow.Even the way she stood was familiar.But there was something different in her expression.She looked tired.Not the tiredness of someone who had travelled too far.The tiredness of someone who had spent years being misunderstood.Arielle stepped closer.Who are you?The woman smiled sadly.You already know.Arielle shook her head.No.You are not me.The woman tilted her head.Neither are you.Silence filled the garden.Cassian moved beside Arielle.What does that mean?The woman looked at him.You always stand beside her.Cassian frowned.I intend to keep doing that.The woman smiled.Good.Arielle lo

The bell rang once.Then again.Arielle did not move.The woman stood across from her, surrounded by ordinary people who had no idea that two women were standing in the middle of their village carrying a history older than either of them could explain.Arielle looked at her carefully.You said my mother chose you before she chose me.The woman nodded.Yes.Then why have I never heard of you?Because she wanted you to have a life that belonged only to you.Arielle felt something tighten in her chest.Everyone keeps saying that.What?That people disappeared so I could be free.The woman lowered her eyes.Sometimes love makes people believe leaving is the kindest thing they can do.And sometimes it isn't.No.Sometimes it isn't.Arielle stepped closer.What was your name?The woman hesitated.I had one.What was it?She

The word hung in the air.Mum.Arielle could not move.The child standing inside the house looked no older than six.Golden eyes.Dark hair.A small face that somehow carried something painfully familiar.Beside her stood the younger versions of Arielle and Elior, frozen like figures inside an old memory.Arielle looked at the woman on the porch.What is this?The woman stepped aside.Come in.Arielle did not move.You said this house shows who we could have been.Yes.Then why is that child calling me Mum?The woman looked at the child.Because in one life, you were.Arielle's heart tightened.One life?The woman nodded.Not another universe.Not another world.A life that existed because of a choice you never made.Arielle stepped inside.Cassian followed.Elior remained outside for a moment, staring at the child.Then he entered too.The others followed quietly.Inside, the house was warm.There was a small kitchen.A wooden table.Four chairs.A fireplace.Children's drawings cove

Morning came quietly.There was no strange light in the sky.No golden doorway.No voice calling Arielle from somewhere beyond the world.Only sunlight slipping through the curtains and the sound of Lumen arguing with Cassian downstairs about breakfast.Arielle smiled before she even opened her eyes.For once, she woke without wondering what had happened while she slept.She simply woke.She got dressed and went downstairs.The kitchen was crowded.Cassian was attempting to make breakfast.Lumen was supervising.Nessa was stealing pieces of fruit.Cael was pretending not to notice.Solene was laughing.Elior was sitting by the window with a book.Remember was helping set the table.Arielle stopped at the doorway.This was her life.Not a perfect one.Not an easy one.But hers.Cassian looked up.Good morning.Arielle smiled.Good morning.Breakfast is almost ready.Almost?Cassian looked offended.I am doing my best.Lumen shook her head.His best is burning.Everyone laughed.Cassian
