He was still finding the piece, still rebuilding the muscle memory that twelve years away had taken from him.

After our engagement, the six of us friends agreed to take one last trip together before the wedding. That night, my friend Anders Greer suggested we play a "24-Hour Couple Swap." Anyone who drew matching symbols had to act like a couple for the next twenty-four hours. Whoever drew a blank card could only take pictures and carry everyone's bags. In the first round, I drew a blank. My fiancee, Brielle Rice, and Anders both drew moons. They held hands while watching the sunrise, while I followed behind carrying three people's bags. In the second round, I drew another blank. They both drew roses. Their penalty was to hug for one minute. Everyone crowded around, cheering them on, while I sto

And a secret she’d kept hidden for ten years. She adjusted her navy blazer as the elevator doors opened with a soft ding, and then she stepped inside. Her reflection in the mirrored walls stared back at her as she exhaled sharply. Twelve years ago, she came into this building as a young intern. Ten years ago, she left Damien Carrington’s life and never looked back. And now… she was coming back to take down his company. The elevator was quiet as it went up, and she felt her chest tighten. It wasn’t fear. It wasn’t regret. It was something stronger. She remembered her daughter’s sleepy face that morning, asking why she was wearing “war clothes” again.

Isaac then followed her again from behind. She turned around again, feeling annoyed with his action. She then stomped her feet walking closer towards him. "Just tell me what you want." She growled, crossing her arms. "Okay, fine. I want you to work with me." Isaac spoke straight to the point. "W-what? Work with you? Why? I don't want to." Kathilyn turned around again, but Isaac grabbed her hand before she could walk away. "This is not a choice. You have to work with me, no questions asked." Isaac spoke sternly as if he was ordering and demanding her.

“Henry! My son! You’re finally back! I was wrong, I was really wrong! Please forgive me!” I stepped back, expressionless, avoiding her embrace. She held her arms out, caught in an awkward pause.

When word got out that I was back, Nathaniel started showing up at the house almost every day. I had no choice. On the second day of the new year, I told my mother I was leaving. Once I left home, I got back on the bus heading into the city. I had barely sat down when I heard shouting from the station. Nathaniel had spotted me. He hadn't even bought a ticket and just tried to rush inside. The security guard caught him and blocked the way. "Let me through! I need to find someone!"

Mommy's face looked worried. "No, Mom, I just want to make sure," I answered. "It's August 2nd, and do you also want to know what year it is?" "2020?" I said it doubtfully, but Mommy's answer confirmed it. "Ah, thank God, you still remember, so you are fine. Now hurry up and take a shower and have breakfast," said Mommy as she left my room. I'm still sitting in my room, digesting everything that happened. I'm really confused by all this. I got up from my bed and looked right at my cell phone. This was my old cell phone.

"That's my girl." Sarah ruffled her hair and she giggled. ****** "Tyler." Patricia shouted loudly. "We are going to missed our flight if you don't get here now." She added. "What?" She asked her husband who pouted his lips like a child. "Should we really go back to America now." He asked. "Yes!" She snapped. "Come on." Richard whined.
