They'd likely never see each other again. Stralath had never cared for anyone aside from his father and his teammates. But, this felt different, and he hated that he'd fallen into this trap on a foreign planet where there was no hope for happiness. Could he return to Mesephina and date one of his kind instead? Thanks to his job, he'd never had time for romance in the past. The thought of that connection left a bad taste in his mouth. Why did the woman by his side feel more like his home? A romance couldn't happen—he should step away from their chemistry and this unusual connection.

Ryder's once assured place as their leader had crumbled, replaced by an unbridgeable distance that chilled him to the core. Feeling the weight of estrangement gnawing at his soul, Ryder wished fervently for his problems to be washed away by the cascading rain, carried far from him on the swift currents that swept the ground beneath. But the storm could only grant release in the form of wetness, leaving behind the deep-rooted turmoil that lingered within.

"Mr. Stroud, Everlast Tech was founded single-handedly by Mrs. Stroud's mother. Mrs. Stroud values it deeply. Are you really going to move against it? Isn't that a bit too—" Cold-blooded. Ruthless.

He walked forward with commanding strides, leaving Sean far behind.

It could remove the connection entirely. the space shifted. Violently. not between us. through us. Zayden’s grip tightened. hard. “Aria” The word cut.

“I mean, what are you going to do about the situation with your parents?” “I don’t know.” She shrugged. “I already have five years experience in being estranged from them. I’d be fine.” I hid my surprise at learning she had also been estranged from her parents. As someone with experience in the field, I’d realized that one of the worst parts of it was people acting shocked when they learned you’d cut off a parent. Being estranged felt like a testament to how horrible a person was. Like if you couldn’t get along with the people who made you, what hope was there for others?

I clung to the fragile hope that distance might somehow alleviate the anguish that ravaged my soul. With my bag clutched tightly in my hand and the keys to the Mercedes secure in my pocket, I made a swift exit, leaving behind the comfort of my temporary home. I breathed a silent sigh of relief that Atreyu was nowhere to be seen, sparing me the awkward encounter. His absence was a stroke of luck, and I didn't hesitate to seize the opportunity.
