When Gratitude Runs Out of Credit
Running Cloud
The laundromat I regularly visit has been showing an odd fluctuation in its price lately.
"This coat isn't easy to wash. We're probably the only store that's willing to clean this at a loss. The market price is 55 dollars per item, but I'll give you a discount and only ask for 200 dollars for four items."
I look at the boss' mother, who's new at the laundromat. I'm a little pissed. Still, I hand her my membership card without saying anything.
This laundromat is opposite my residential area, and they had a promotion during their opening. I topped up ten thousand dollars on the card because I pitied the owner for raising a child alone.
Unexpectedly, the owner's mother looks at me and says sarcastically, "That dumb membership card means nothing to me—you have to pay me in cash. You youngsters are too lazy to wash your clothes, yet you're more than willing to use your brains for nonsense like this. My son is too kind to let you take advantage of him like this."
I grab my clothes and leave. It's time to use my brain for some nonsense—I think the laundromat should have a new owner.
Secrets
“You've been there for me through the best and the worst, shared my happiness and my sadness, you're the person I want to argue with and wake up next to every day of my life. I can go on for hours about how much you mean to me and how much I love you, but I always believed that actions speak louder than words, so I'll knee before you and ask; Will you marry me, will you give me a lifetime to show you how much I love you?”
Aria's body was covered in goosebumps, her whole body felt like it had frozen over. She heard every word he uttered like a siren in the night, but her brain wouldn't function.
This wasn't supposed to happen.
“I can't..." She didn't realise that the words were out of her mouth till she saw his face fall and the crowd gasped.
“What do you mean you can't?” Deagan stood up and took a step towards her, but she stepped back before he could touch her.
“I- I just can't, I'm sorry.” Tears welled in her eyes and her heart burned with pain, she knew she was hurting him and that made her heart break even more.
###
Aria and Deagan face the test of time as two people from opposing social standings trying to navigate a relationship, standing strong when their families try to tear them apart until the secrets they keep from each other are revealed. Will Deagan win back his girl or is his past too heavy a burden to face?
There's a fine line between secrets and lies, until keeping a secret means having to tell a lie...

Dezmond woke in a cold sweat. The ache in his heart was worse than ever before. It had been growing more intense over the past few weeks. He got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

Dezmond needed to know why he was being tormented in his dreams. He was never supposed to dream again.
"I can't take this anymore." said Dezmond gloomily.

Though recently her nightmares felt different. More like a warning rather than a memory.
"Rough night?" whispered Haven. Haven had been friends with Ruby since they were little kids. "Yeah, they started happening again." Ruby whispered back. They never really stopped.
"Have you talked to anyone about it? Ruby, you can't keep it a secret forever." This is the same discussion they had just after the incident.
