Novel & Cerita Been A Long Day Without You

Recognizing the cycle for what it was, a desperate attempt by an arrogant man to regain control over a script he had lost, Yolande had quietly and permanently blocked his number, his email, and all his social media profiles. Maria had been more hesitant, sending only a single, long paragraph expressing her deep sorrow and stating that she hoped they could still be friends once the dust settled. Yolande hadn't blocked Maria, but she kept a safe, unyielding distance, sending a brief, polite response indicating that she needed time and space to figure out her next steps. She didn't harbor a burning hatred for her former best friend, but she knew that looking at Maria’s face would only serve as

I replied and left without listening to whatever she had to say. Now thinking about Alysia, I haven’t seen her all day and I felt weary, I missed her dearly and I just wanted to see her.

~~~~ "Tomorrow’s going to be a busy day," I whispered to myself as I sipped my chocolate tea. After that mind-blowing weekend of rolling around with Eric, today felt strangely empty without him. It was Monday—he had to go back to work—and I already missed him terribly. Mother had been calling nonstop ever since that day, and honestly, I still refused to pick up. I only spoke to Dad, letting him know about the project and tomorrow’s work schedule. Thanks to my amazing husband, the machines for the farm titling were ready.

Take her hand. "I don't know how to do this," I say. "I don't know how to be loved without waiting for it to disappear. I don't know how to stay when staying is hard." "Neither do I." "But I want to learn." She looks at our hands. "So do I." --- We sat there for a long time. Not talking. Just... being. Together. The way we should have been all along. "I've survived cons, betrayals, worse women than this," I say. "But four days without you felt like withdrawal."

Her desperate "I miss you." One more day. Twenty-four hours until visiting day. I could survive twenty-four hours. Back in the empty quarters, I sat at the small desk and pulled out fresh paper. *Dear Mandy,* *Day two without you. I saw your face tonight on video call. You looked tired but alive. Present. That's more than I dared hope for after how bad things had gotten before Moonstone.*

Gazing at the empty sky, staring at the abyss, I can't believe how much I miss Raini. It's only been a few days, and yet it feels like an eternity. I'm so used to having her around, laughing and chatting with her. We've been inseparable since birth, and now that she's gone, it feels like a piece of me is missing.

I have done the math while staring at the umbrella, while eating a piece of toast I didn't taste, while brushing my teeth, while standing in front of my bathroom mirror trying to figure out if I was still the person who had been a person before all of this. Five days. Five days of: - Not seeing him - Not having him critique my form - Not having him show up at a clinic I transferred to just to avoid him - Not having him text at eleven forty-seven p.m. on a Tuesday - Not having him be quietly, professionally, devastatingly thoughtful Five days of not having Aiden Black in my life at all.

ADAM’S POV I walk into my house after work, and the silence feels like a punch to the gut. Everything seems darker, quieter, and colder without Aria here. Her presence filled every corner with warmth and life, and now, without her, it’s just an empty shell. I try to distract myself by turning on the TV or flipping through a book, but nothing holds my attention. It’s hard to believe that just a few days ago, we were here together, laughing and planning for a future I thought we could have. The days without her are long, but the nights are even longer.

Elsa snapped back over that phone, Ivy let out a dramatic exasperated sigh. "I thought I was a Princess." "Forget that. It's been two days since our last conversation. How are you even breathing without hearing from me?" "Honestly," Ivy took in a deep breath, nodding lightly. "I think the air has been a little crazy." "Good because I don't understand how you can live without me for two whole days. You love me, remember?" "I know, I know. You know what, I'm also wondering the same thing about you."

Alice's POV It had been four long days since Alek departed, and the weight of his absence had been coming down on me severely. Each passing instant without any word or hint of his location intensified my fear and concern. I realized I couldn't sit idly by any longer; I wanted to locate him and assure his safety.
