Safety comes first. I was about to pull my hand away when Zach grabbed it. "Let's do this! I can't wait any longer!"

A companion I hadn't asked for. "What do I do?" I asked. The question was barely a whisper. Festus was quiet for a long moment. Then I heard him move, felt his hand on my shoulder, warm and solid. "You start over," he said. "One day at a time. You eat something. You take a shower. You go back to work. You stop waiting for him to come back and you start living for yourself." "I don't know how to do that." "Then you learn."

“I don’t know. Not yet. But I'll find out.” His thumb brushed under my eye as if he could wipe away the pain of what I’d just lived through. Then Sable’s voice returned, steadier than before. Strong. Unmistakable. “She was the first. You are the last. The circle begins again.” I shivered. Because deep down, I knew - this wasn’t just the beginning of something new. It was the return of something old. Something the world had tried to erase. And failed.

The retreat offered a sanctuary for deep introspection, inviting them to unravel the tapestry of their lives and explore the threads that had woven their destinies together. The first morning dawned, casting a soft golden hue across the landscape. Seated in a circle, they began their conversations with a shared vulnerability, ready to peel back the layers and confront the truths that lay hidden within. Andrea, with a trembling voice, initiated the dialogue. "I want to revisit our pasts, to understand the events that shaped us.

I sighed and got up to check the calendar on my phone to see how many days we have left to stay here. Oooh three days seemed to have passed by really soon. We only had four more days to leave and go back to our home in Briskville. I found it really funny. I hated the place when I first came here. I was so stubborn that I even announced I’d leave this place the other day! And now, I’m in love with this place. I scanned through the calendar while a notification popped up and before I could click it, it went off like someone was swiping it. Huh? Strange….nevermind.

"What are you doing?" Shuffling, "What? Me?" Charlie narrows her eyes, a thought pops into her head, "Deedah! Are you having sex?!" This time, her best-friend laughs loudly, "No, *Poo-poo bear*. This fart bag was tickling me before you called. That monster..." She mutters at the end. "Oh? Zeus is back from Egypt? When did he get back?" "Dude just got back yesterday and he's trying to get into my pants," She hears the traces of an eye roll in her tone.

"I want to apologise for my behaviour last Friday. I'm sorry I said those hurtful things. I was really worried and..." "Look Liam, you don't need to worry about me. Asides from the fact that I'm an adult, I have already inconvenienced you more than enough." "You have in no way inconvenienced me." "Please. Encroaching your home, your office. That's too much inconvenience if you ask me. I don't like it here, life hasn't been unfair to me but somethings cannot be questioned. Coming back home, I thought it would help me heal so I was glad when your mum reached out to me. It was the perfect time. Right now, I'm constantly reminded of the things I couldn't have or achieve.
