The sun dipped lower, the sky burning orange behind them, the ocean shimmering like molten gold. But in this moment, there was only him. Only them. *** The reception unfolded like a dream, a perfect blend of elegance and intimacy, set against the vast stretch of moonlit ocean.

I whispered, my voice sounding like a ghost of itself, "we just gave it a taste of something it didn't like, but look at the stars."

And on the heart, there was a message written in blood: HE IS STILL INSIDE. FIND THE OTHER HALF. Suddenly, a bright red laser dot appeared on my chest. I looked up. A fleet of black helicopters was hovering over the forest, their searchlights blinding me. "Subject Zero located," a voice boomed from the sky. "Prepare to harvest the Heart."

Close enough to feel in your bones. Hope appeared beside me carrying emergency cookies. Important emotional support system. “What’s happening?” Noah asked from the doorway. I stared upward at the constellations shifting above the city. “The stars are reorganizing themselves.” Silence.

That is because you have a healthy heart.

“He only posted a video of me leaving? He should have posted the video of me flipping his massive, over-privileged body over my shoulder. I guess the golden boy is too embarrassed to let the world see him get humbled.” ”You flipped Saxton Vance?!” Jessica clutched her head in her hands, her voice hitting a high pitch. ”Are you insane?! His fangirls are literal feral demons, Sarah! They will come after you now that Saxton has demanded to find you!” “Let them try. I am not afraid of his little fans, Jessica,” I hissed. “Both Saxton Vance and his psychotic fans can go straight to hell and rot.” ”Sarah, don’t mess with him!” Jessica pleaded, her voice tight with genuine fear. ”He’s not just some

I stared at them, my heart hammering against my ribs, my body drenched in sweat. The sheets twisted around my legs like restraints. Eleven forty-two. I knew that number.
