Clara Read Novels & Stories

Something that meant more than I meant it to. Without the faintest idea what it was. Helen was looking at me oddly. “What?” I said. “Nothing.” Her voice had gone careful. “Nothing.” “The editors from Meridian House are here.” “Come on.” Clara arrived at noon. She moved through the room the way she had at the viewing. Giving nothing away. When she reached our corner, she stopped in front of the jacket and read it. Slowly. All the way through. “It’s still there,” she said finally.

*Correcting something. He thought about the way she'd timed her approach to table six. The way she'd taken his introduction to Richard Lau without missing a beat — not surprised, not grateful in any excessive way, just calm and ready, like she'd already known who Lau was and had simply been handed a shorter route to him. The way she'd moved through that room like someone who knew exactly what they were there for. He picked up his phone. --- Clara was in the library when it rang. Third floor, the quiet section, textbooks spread across the desk in front of her with her notes slotted between pages the way she'd been doing since she was twelve. She saw the name, looked at it for a second, then p

His phone⁠ lay bes‍ide it. Still⁠ silent. Still waiting. Th⁠en it happened. A soft k⁠nock at the d⁠oor. H‍e di⁠dn’t⁠ answer immediately. “Come in.‌” Clara st‍epp⁠ed‌ ins‌ide a‌gain. She look⁠ed un⁠easy. “Sir… t⁠here’‍s something you‌ should see.” She‌ placed a tablet on h‍is desk.

Within seconds they turned and left. Just like that, everywhere became silent. Broken only by distant murmurs and the aftermath of destruction. Clara’s hands trembled slightly as she unfolded the paper. Her eyes scanned the words. “This is just the beginning. And if you don’t want this to continue, tell your daughter to stay away from Alex Harrington.”

Part 49. Afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. Joe glanced briefly at Clara, who seemed engrossed in reading a translated novel by William Shakespeare. "Clara," Uncle Joe called. "Yes," Clara carefully folded her book and closed it. Then, she walked over to Uncle Joe, who was sitting in his armchair. Clara stood beside Joe, looking at the laptop screen he showed her. "Which one do you prefer, this one or this one?" Joe asked, pointing to two options of a pink and a purple teddy bear.

Maya looked at the fountain. "I didn't have anything else to do." Clara sat beside her. "You could have read the book." "I'm done with the book." Clara was quiet for a moment.

The way she'd stopped trying to understand and just started reading.

Sit, legs spread atop his desk and peel his glasses away as she kissed him senseless. Instead, Clara schooled her features so she'd appear less interested as she headed towards the towering shelves laden with books. The silence was heavy and she could feel Lucas' eyes lasering at her frame. She knew he wanted to speak to her but was trying to respect her boundaries at the same time.
