After days of searching, Mitchell discovered that Heather had purchased tickets for over ten cities in the country and six countries abroad on that very day. Mitchell stared at the list of nearly twenty destinations on his desk, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Heather was determined to disappear without a trace.

' Biting my tongue to stay conscious, I frantically searched the riverbed for the lost ring. Eventually, exhaustion took over. My body went numb. Someone pulled me out and threw a blanket over me. I barely had the strength to hold it up. Shivering, I dragged myself toward William. He was kissing Jennifer on the couch. It was a slow, lingering kiss filled with warmth and tenderness. Even the onlookers seemed moved by it. I sat there quietly. It felt like an eternity passed before they finally parted. With what little strength I had left, I held up the ring and whispered, "William, I did it."

The sky stretched endlessly above her, painted in soft streaks of orange and pink as the sun dipped toward the horizon. She inhaled the salty air, but the tranquility of the scene didn’t reach her. Her thoughts churned just like the restless tide. The last thing Elena had expected was to find herself on this trip, an attempt to mend the cracks in her marriage to Andrew. But as she stared out at the endless stretch of water, she questioned whether anything was left to repair.

Just a driftwood arch draped in soft linens, the music of the waves, and the scent of salt and spring in the air. Elena wore a flowing dress the color of sand, simple and soft, with delicate embroidery that Lila had insisted was “magic thread.” Her hair was loose, kissed by the wind, and tucked behind one ear was a single white daisy—Lila’s last-minute addition. She walked barefoot, every step grounded and intentional, as if her past had finally released her hold.

I started mixing drinks at Frank's family restaurant, hiding out behind the bar. Frank went full secret agent mode, locking down all my info. He even hooked me up with a fake ID. It worked like a charm. Thomas could not track me down overseas, and eventually, he gave up and went back home. I could finally breathe easy. However, six months later, I suddenly got an email. It was from Tracy, of all people. She spilled her guts, saying she bailed on the Wells family not long after I ditched Thomas. She had been battling it out with Thomas for years, trying to get the upper hand in the Wells family drama.

" What Jonah said clearly struck a chord with Adele. She no longer hid her arrogance. She raised her wrist, showing me the gold locket that my parents gave me when I was ten years old. My eyes instantly reddened. "Give it back to me! Hand it back!" I pounced at her. She was caught off guard by my sudden attack, and she fell to the floor. Jonah glared at me. "Adele!" Adele first cast me a provocative glance before yelling, "Jonah, my tummy hurts!" I was so focused on getting back my gold locket, yet I completely forgot about Jonah, who only had eyes for Adele. Slap!

It was just a hug, nothing like the couple we'd seen practically devouring each other. Summer grinned, clearly unconvinced. "Real married couples are the best! Someone took pictures of you two, by the way. Might end up online!" "What?" I stared at her in alarm. "We're not celebrities. Why would anyone photograph us?" "Because you and Mr. Carter are gorgeous together, that's why!" I quickly changed the subject, feeling embarrassed. "Did you pack Elissa's wedding gift?" "Of course! It's in my luggage."

It was just her luck she’s meet a great guy when she had to hide from the mob. She stepped out onto the porch of the cabin and took in a deep breath. He wasn’t here yet. There wasn’t a thunderstorm today, which she was glad of. The sun was starting to creep closer to the mountains for the night, and the scent of pine was thick in the air. It always amazed her how late the sun set in the summer.

"For meeting? How long?" "Ren, I'm thinking of bringing you with me." He stopped scrolling, halting in the middle of a digital book he saved to read. "Sure. How long?" She went silent for a while. "For summer. I have meetings to do at home. Most of them couldn't come to Canada and Japan seems to be our main place." "Okay. I'll tell Noah." "Preliminaries start in summer in Japan. If we are unable to attend, you can stay a little longer to see the start of the Spring Tournament."

"Elisse. I'm Summer. It's nice meeting you. I hope we could also be friends. And, I'm sorry if Winter is kind of cruel. But she's— "No. Miss Winter is not cruel. I like her very much!"
