I can’t be a party pooper now, can I? Hence, I thought of keeping it a secret for the time being. It was soon noon and all of us were getting ready for lunch after a few games of baseball in our backyard. Mom and I planned to bake some banana bread while the rest of the family grilled some chicken and set the tables. We heard a loud knock at the door and Nick ran off to welcome our guest. “We’re going for a ride. C’mon guys, go get yourselves ready. We’re leaving in about an hour!” Uncle George declared enthusiastically.

He took a plate of meat that was placed there and ate with pleasure " A rumor, what rumor " " Rumor that Luna is back " Emala said, looking at him angrily " Ah, that's not a rumor, that's a fact " Emala quickly got up and slammed the table in front of him in disbelief " Really, are you sure??

Liam gave a cold laugh, pointing at Zach and speaking one word at a time. "Lily, you want me to apologize to him? Are you out of your mind?" I waved my hand dismissively, acting completely unbothered. "What's wrong, Liam? Doesn't this scene feel familiar to you? I'm only giving back to you the exact words you once gave me."

“Nikolai what, what are you talking about?, why wou, why would you“ my hands roughly going through my hair. He cut me off, his voice sharp. “Liora’s back.” For a second the name didn’t register. Then it did, my stomach twisted. Liora hale. His college sweetheart, His first love. “What, what do you mean she’s back?, back as in, back in belgrave?, or what” My voice cracked, trying to steady my laboured breathing, and bring the ringing in my head to stop, more tears streaming down my cheeks without permission. A stinging feeling of betrayal blossoming in my chest.

I didn't reply to Karen's questions. I merely passed her my backpack, sat at the dining table, and fixed my gaze on the food. "I'm hungry already, so let's eat." Karen was dumbfounded. She then walked right up to me with a spatula in her hand. She asked, "Why the rush, Madison? I mean, Calvin hasn't even come back yet!" She then rubbed her hands together and looked past me at Drew. "I thought you were supposed to pick up Calvin. How could you come back here without him? What kind of father are you? I even made his favorite Atherian lobsters today!"

He leaned down and cupped my face as he looked at me, saying with a serious tone, "Christine, since you've already started this, then you need to see it to the end." On the seventh day in Harbor City, Jerome Sloan, a friend from Gold City, suddenly sent me a message. "Christine, when are you coming back to Gold City?" I replied, "I don't have any plans to return for now." Jerome: "Everyone misses you. Jorgie's birthday is in a few days. Why don't you come back and join us?" Me: "No, just send him my regards. I'll send a gift over." Jerome: "Alright then. Take care of yourself."

"This isn't just about me, is it? This is also about you. You aren't just feeling guilty for what you did to me. You've been treated worse as well, haven't you?" James sighed, and said, "Yeah. But that's a long, brutal story. When you're back the the States and if you ever make up your mind, call me." He slid his card across the table and got to his feet. "I am the only one who can help you, Ellie Summers. And if I were you, I'd take it."

" With each word Allison spoke, Sophia's face grew paler. Hearing Allison’s last sentence, she keenly caught the key point. "Studying abroad? What do you mean?" Allison looked surprised. "You didn't know? Julian is leaving to study abroad soon. He said he didn't want to hold you back, so he cancelled your marriage." "That's impossible! We already got our marriage certificate!" Her mind suddenly recalled my words from yesterday. "Let's look at them tomorrow. I have a surprise for you." Sophia immediately pulled the marriage certificate from her bag and flipped it open.

“I’ve got an assignment for you.” Astoria, Queens – Later That Night The moment Natalia stepped through the front door of the brownstone, she exhaled. Not the polished, clipped breaths she used in courtrooms or boardrooms—but the ragged, real kind. The kind she hadn’t allowed herself to take since she’d seen Damien Carrington’s face for the first time in ten years. The scent of arroz con pollo drifted through the air, warm and comforting.
