And my darling daughter, Alice—her future would be limitless. The End

He pressed a kiss to the top of her head, breathing in the sweet scent of her shampoo—something fruity and childish, like strawberries and sunshine. Kiara nodded against his chest, and Justin could feel the small movement—could feel her body slowly relaxing, the tension draining out of her little shoulders. She believed him. She felt the sincerity in his words, the genuineness in his tone. Children always knew. They could always tell when an adult meant what they said.

My dad said it sounded like a good idea to him. After dinner, my dad gave me a birthday present and I opened it. He bought me the movie After that is based off the book by one of my favorite authors. He told me he was going to go to bed and told me to enjoy the rest of my birthday hanging out with Brooks. I asked Brooks what he wanted to do and he suggested we sit and watch my new movie. I laughed and said it's not like the notebook or lord of the rings. He told me he was fine with watching a chick flick and I said this is more than a chick flick Brooks. This movie is about a toxic relationship but they can't seem to stay away from each other. He told me that was fine with him and I put the

"Good." The End

It just did. THE END

But the next day, he was found dead in his living room. He had finally given up. He left behind a letter and ended his life with the same dangerous combination that nearly killed me—cephalexin and alcohol. When I returned home, the police gave me the envelope. Inside it was a brief note filled with apologies and well wishes. "I'm sorry, Grace. I was wrong. I hope you find happiness. Congratulations on your marriage. If there's a next life, I hope I'll be the one to chase after you." But if there was indeed a next life, I never wanted to meet him again.

Clara froze for a moment before she realized what I had said. She looked at me in disbelief. “You’re breaking up with me? How far are you planning to go with this?” she asked. A trace of anxiety crept into her tone. “You weren’t always this unreasonable. Why now?” She genuinely seemed unable to understand why I wanted to end things. I spoke calmly, just as she had once been. “I won’t interfere while you and Ethan hook up with each other. Isn’t that better?”

Morgan copied the grown-ups and said with sarcasm, "She's finally figured it out and knows to buy what I like. It must be the limited-edition race car model I have wanted forever!" He ran and tore the present's wrappings open. However, there was no race car model. Instead, there was a massive photograph inside. It was the photo of Samuel, Rachel, and Morgan under the snowy peaks of Wintercrown, with a card sitting beside it with one line. "Congratulations on getting a new mom, Morgan."

You didn't use my name to get into this, did you? I rolled my eyes and shrugged. "I qualified fair and square." His voice got sharper and angrier. "You've lost your damn mind!" I stayed calm. "I've never needed your name to earn what's mine." He grabbed my arm and started dragging me toward the exit. "Stop using me to get special treatment!" I nodded. "Don't worry. I won't be your fated mate much longer." Wendy jumped in at that moment. "Clara, I get it. You're upset because you think I stole your Luna title. But you shouldn't say stuff like that just to threaten Blake."

I chewed the chocolate as he marked another city with a red pen, the stubbing sound, filling the room. I popped another ball in my mouth. "How does it taste?" I stopped licking and looked at him. He was still gazing at the large map on the bed, writing down the population of the next place after cold Antarctica. "I don't know," I answered, and grudgingly passed the last ball in the pack to him, "You should find out." He chuckled and looked up from the pack to my face. He looked so pretty as he laughed and I couldn't lie about that.
