exchanging warm greetings with fellow members of my close-knit pack along the way. Approaching the porch, the swing creaks in a familiar melody, blending with the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze. The sun casts a warm golden glow, illuminating the scene before me. My heart swells with anticipation as I catch sight of my grandma, her silver hair shimmering in the sunlight, her eyes twinkling with joy. Her smile widens as she sees me, and I can't help but mirror her expression.

Arlo had to carefully curate meals around her aversions, which kept him on his toes, constantly trying to make her comfortable. Emotionally, things felt like a rollercoaster. Lune would be perfectly content one moment, only to find herself overwhelmed with emotions the next. A beautiful sunset would bring tears to her eyes, while a small inconvenience could stir up unexpected frustration. She felt raw, like her emotions were constantly at the surface, ready to spill over. Arlo was endlessly patient, holding her through every mood swing, his unwavering support grounding her when she felt like her feelings were spiraling out of control.

My smile made the smug expression on Sunny's face freeze in place. She probably thought I would react like I always did, that my overwhelming episodes would cause me to break down or scream in panic. But I didn't. I simply got out of bed, reached for the fruit knife Sunny had left on the bedside table, and picked it up. Sunny yelped, and the apple slipped from her hand and rolled across the floor. I cornered her against the wall. "You enjoyed adding peanut butter to my oats, huh?"

He’s being turned into a 'Supporting Character.' By the time the next chapter begins, he won't even remember the Spire. He’ll just be the 'Grumpy Neighbor' who fixes cars."

“Do I need to spell it out?” “Because I’m not part of your golden circle? You’re afraid people will think we’re involved, because none of those filthy rich people in there even know the Carson family. Is that it?” Sunny shot back, her voice shaking as it shifted from sharp to unsteady. Zayne nodded. “You get it.” “You’ve really changed.” “So have you.” “Me?” Sunny pointed at herself in disbelief. “I’m still the same, Zayne! I’m still Sunny who—”

"Besides, I want to see just how far Mathias can push your father once he gets the money. "Sometimes, giving money doesn’t help. It’s sending them further down their path." Mom didn’t understand, but I did. Days passed. My hair began falling out in clumps. On my pillow. On the floor. In the bathroom. Everywhere. In the end, I shaved it all off and wore that baseball cap every day. Jonathan’s condition was getting worse, too. I could often hear his suppressed coughing from the study. Sometimes it sounded like he was coughing up his lungs.

At least I will have James by my side. The next few days pass like a blur, but gradually, Mr Grumpy starts to get stronger. By now he is able to walk on his own, albeit slowly around the house. We fall into a new normal, with very little talking. Mostly, I stay out of his way and spend my time outside. I don’t venture too far, but with my sharpened stick, I try to find a way out of this place. The sun is already setting when I return to the cottage, disappointed, sweaty and frustrated. I halt in my steps when I see Grumpy standing by the door, a deep frown on his face, his body on high alert.
