The last time she cried was at her parents funeral , a year ago, and she promised to never shed a tear again. She had spent a whole year building up her walls and they all came crumbling down tonight, leaving a hollow space in her heart. She needed to feel something, to fill that void in her heart. She needed to feel alive again, not the mechanic robot she showed everyone. Dahila turned a corner, and her foot caught the edge of the curb. She stumbled, her palm slapping against the wet glass of a hotel sign. The golden letters shimmered under the city lights-The Meridian Hotel.

When I woke again, Luca was beside my bed, still wearing the same blood-stained shirt from the night before. His face was pale, his eyes swollen. “You’re okay,” he said softly, like he was convincing himself. “Both of you are okay.” I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. All I could do was look at the tiny bundle in his arms — our child, sleeping peacefully against his chest. For the first time in months, I didn’t feel anger. Just exhaustion. And a strange, quiet ache that didn’t know which side it belonged to anymore. When we were discharged a few days later, he insisted on driving us home.

I don’t need distraction for what comes next. The car door opens. The noise is immediate. There's shouting, camera shutters, bright lights bursting in every direction. I step out first. It's instinct. Control the scene before it controls you. I turn and offer Enid my hand. For a moment, she hesitates. Only a second. But I catch it. Then her fingers slip into mine. I help her out, and the flashes intensify. She looks stunned for half a heartbeat, then fixes her posture and head like she was born into this.

“You’ve heard it?” He nodded. “It’s my father.” And that was when she broke. All her strength collapsed in on itself.

Let me be the voice that drowns the rest.” The First Flash That night, as the storm returned to cloak the estate once more, Adrian stood alone in the vault. He had seen the files.

I turn and look around and head to the back near the dance floor. The place is filled with bodies and glowsticks. I found a table tucked close to the dance floor. I make my claim to it before anyone else has a chance to swoop in "They put a jolly rancher in it." "What?" "They put a jolly rancher in your zema." Zain hollers above the music. "Nice, I forgot that was a thing." We watch the crowd and drink our drinks. "Dance with me?" "Absolutely!" Zain leads me out to the floor. Lights flash between colors and the bass rumbles.

Adrian shrugged, unbothered. “We’re not divorced,” I said. Adrian raised an eyebrow. “Convenient, since nobody’s seen proof of the marriage either, lately.” “She traveled. She’s back now.” I replied smoothly That landed harder than I expected.

Enthusiasm travels her face. "This." I flicked her forehead. "Ah!" She was startled. I laughed and I run away. "Hey!!" She yelled, calling me. "Chase me, Cali!" I yelled back. "So this is the game, huh." And she chases me. We are chasing each other in the rain. [END OF FLASHBACK] I suddenly smile after remembering that moment back then.
