Sitting up, he saw the sun glittering on shards of glass littering the carpet; all that was left of a Parisian whiskey decanter his father had thrown at him last night after returning from the disastrous party. Sleepily running his hand through his hair, he encountered the bruise on his face. So, it had been more than a dream-- the whole debacle had been real. The whiskey had dimmed the memory into a fragmented nightmare that replayed itself over and over. Vince made his way to the washbasin to splash cool water on his face, hoping to clear his vision and head.

Aurora Restless does not even begin to cover it. I stand near one of the tall windows, fingers curled around the stem of a glass I have not touched in minutes, and something under my skin refuses to quiet down. My mark burns in a slow pulse, not painful, just insistent. It draws my attention again and again, a quiet tug that makes it hard to focus on anything else. I shift my weight, then shift again.

He wasn’t chasing resolution. He was allowing truth to unfold at its own pace. Lola pov That night, Lola lay awake longer than usual. Not restless. Reflective. She thought about intimacy not just physical, but emotional. How often she had mistaken urgency for connection in the past. How restraint now felt like an act of trust, not denial. She wanted Melvin. That truth remained. But she wanted herself more. And that, she realized, was the foundation everything else had once lacked. Melvin pov Before bed, Melvin checked his phone.

“What in the actual dimension of insomnia is going on over there?” I blinked hard at her. “What?” “You’re… restless.” She sat up slightly, her silhouette a messy halo of hair in the dim light from the streetlamp outside. “Like… aggressively restless. It’s practically echoing. It's driving me crazy right now, Skylar. For God's sake, this is past midnight.” I choked on a laugh. “You can’t hear restlessness.” “Wrong,” she said, collapsing back into her pillow with exaggerated drama. “I can feel it from here. It’s vibrating through the floorboards, ricocheting off my skull, and murdering my REM cycle.”

About the things I had done. But beneath the fear— Something else stirred quietly inside me. Something new. Something restless. For the first time in a long time, a part of me wanted to speak. Wanted someone to hear the truth about how I really felt.

I looked at him for a long moment, searching his face for something he was not giving me, and found what I always found when I looked at Ravin directly, warmth underneath the calm, a steadiness that did not waver, and the particular quality of someone who was telling the truth about the thing they had chosen to tell you while leaving the larger shape of themselves carefully out of reach.

On New Year's Eve, Gwen Hurst and I attended a reunion with our old classmates. After several rounds of drinks, someone suggested a game of Truth or Dare. Gwen was the first to lose and drew Truth. "What was your biggest regret when it came to love?" She answered without hesitation, but her gaze kept drifting toward her first love, Nikolas Stratton, who was sitting nearby. "My greatest regret was not ending up with the person I loved most. Instead, I married my backup and settled for a life of compromise." The room erupted in shock. Everyone thought I would storm out in anger, but I only smiled and gestured for the game to continue. When it was my turn, the question became, "Have you ev

"Mr. Rivers, Henry's dying! Take him to the hospital quickly! I'll save Mrs. Rivers!" Jonathan hesitated for only a moment before picking up Henry and running toward the hospital, leaving me behind. The gasoline was ignited by an electrical spark and burst into flames. Linda turned and ran when she saw this, abandoning me in the raging fire. Watching their disappearing figures, I struggled with all my strength to crawl out, but it was futile. Goodbye, Jonathan. I will never see you again.
