Subalit nang dumating ang pagkakataon na kinailangan niyang aminin ang lahat—ang tunay niyang pagkatao at dahilan ng kanyang pagtakas ay hindi niya inaasahang ang binata pa pala ang magtutulak sa kanyang balikan ang nakaraan na ayaw na niyang maranasan...

Her, To Home
Liza Greyson
He didn't stop when he reached her but leaned forward and kissed her hard, on the mouth. The air left her lungs. Maybe it was because it was her first kiss or because he had kissed her, she didn't know but her lungs were burning, her lips were on fire. She was one fire. It ended in a second. She stared at him with wide eyes as he stared back. His hand traced her forehead, nose, lips and then chin as it stopped on her throat. She knew, by God she knew he could feel her pulse, the heat on her cheeks.
"I'm home."
Dean Woodland left two years ago without a word or sound and now he is back to bring his belongings with him.

Ghost of a Broken Home
On April Fool’s Day, my CEO husband cut out my heart to save his childhood sweetheart's son. After the surgery, he tossed me into a cold rental apartment, where I died in agony.
Three days after my death, my five-year-old daughter played in the room as usual.
Walking by the sofa, she wrinkled her little nose and mumbled, "Mommy, there's a weird smell in here."
She touched my face and murmured, "Mommy, are you pretending to be Snow White? Why are you so pale?"
She shook my arm harder and raised her voice, "Mommy, it's my birthday today—get up and blow out the candles!"
Confused, she picked up the phone and called her father.
“Daddy, did I make Mommy mad? I lit the candles, but no matter how much I call her, she won’t wake up.”
On the other end of the call, Patrick Hart’s voice was cold and impatient. “What could possibly be wrong with her? She’s just pretending to be asleep for sympathy. It’s Johnny’s birthday, I’m busy. Don’t bother me! Tell your melodramatic mother to stop playing her little tricks. I don't have time to humor her."
My daughter removed the candle from her bun, pinched off a piece of the bun, and fed it to me.
"Mommy, I made a secret wish… I really wish you could hold me again, just like before."
