It was as though he was begging me to take pity on him. Once I nodded in response, Carl continued, "Why did you leave me? Didn't you say you'd stay by my side forever? Come with me. We agreed to spend the rest of our lives together! I can't live without you. I love you!" He grabbed my hand so tightly that it felt as if he was venting his feelings. With a smile on my face, I broke free from his grasp and took a step back.

The apartment grew still again. I stared at the lilies. At the softness of their petals. At the absurdity of it all. He offered me a second chance. At home. At being the version of me that didn’t have to fight so hard. But even as I stared at those flowers... All I could see was the way he once shattered my heart. And all I could hear, faint and distant, was Noah’s voice, saying, I don’t regret loving you. And I didn’t know what to do with any of it.

’ I say as Edmond comes to sit beside me. ‘I love you mate’ I tell him as I stare up at him, right through his eyes. ‘I love you too a billion times’ he says as he devours my mouth. My life is so full now and I would never exchange this for nothing in the world. If there is one thing I have learnt, it is that nothing really is impossible because if a broken Pieces of a heart could be fixed, then everything can be fixed once you find the right people. The end.

Maybe terrified. “Please don't.” A voice filtered through the crack. I struck the wall again. Another fracture shot across this wall. Images appeared between the cracks. A bare foot against a floor. Gone. A hand covered in blood. Gone. A child crouched somewhere dark. A woman standing over someone. A woman beneath someone.

Just the sound of my own breath and the soft hum of the night outside. But as I stared up at her, something inside me shifted—small, fragile, but real. Not an answer. Not yet. But a faint warmth, like a heartbeat under my skin. I closed my eyes, clutching that feeling to my chest like a lifeline. “Please,” I whispered one last time. “Send someone. Before I’m lost completely.” The silence stretched. I stood there at the window, the moon’s silver light spilling over me like a fragile cloak. My words still hung in the air, unanswered, but something faint lingered beneath my skin—a warmth, fragile and fleeting, like a heartbeat I hadn’t known was there.

The peace we had been living in — borrowed, fragile, precious — cracked audibly at last. And somewhere beyond the horizon, something ancient stirred, answering the call of a moon that bled for what was about to be lost.

Celeste’s gaze moved over them with a quiet, unsettling slowness, as though she were seeing each face for the first time and trying to decide what, if anything, they meant to her, and in that lingering silence it became painfully clear that nothing in the room reached her in the way it once would have, not the tension in their bodies, not the familiarity in their expressions, not even the way Silas stood closest to her with his hand wrapped carefully around hers, waiting for even the smallest sign that she recognized him, because there was no answering pull, no instinctive awareness, no bond threading between them to bridge the distance that had suddenly and completely formed. Silas felt the

She had him thrown out of his residence, then started looking for me, only to find out I had already left the country. Evelyn quickly called Claire. "Why didn't you tell me Robin left the country? He even deleted all my contacts! When I called him, it said the number is no longer in service. What exactly is going on?"

But every time she realized I had already left her world, her heart ached.

When does foolish longing morph into grief? One must confront grief with defiance. However, I've allowed it to consume me completely, you don't learn to simply fold grief in half nor merely tuck it in between the ridges of your ribcage, what you learn is how to lend a name to a body without wanting for it back. I found myself unable to resist, utterly consumed by the same ambition that once troubled my mother.
