You're cheerful. - I murmured as I closed the book that was in my hands. -I really am, you should've accompanied me.

Meanwhile, he’d spent half the time worrying if his collar was crooked or if he should’ve worn different shoes. Still, self-doubt wasn’t going to get him anywhere. The workshop was just a week away, and this was his shot at something different—something exciting. He didn’t have time to spiral. So, Sky made a plan. Step one: Rest. One whole day of doing absolutely nothing. No textbooks. No errands. No emails. Just naps, proper meals, and maybe a face mask if he remembered he had one buried somewhere in his drawer. He told himself it was recovery. Survival. Resetting his soul.

My voice cracked halfway through and I had to sit down. “I’m fine,” I said. “You haven’t taken a single full day off since you got back.” “There’s too much to do.” He gave me a look. One of those concerned, hesitant ones. “Just one day. Maybe go to the beach. Walk. Breathe. I don’t know.” I didn’t respond. I just waved him off and kept reading. But it stayed in my head for days. The idea of stopping. Of resting. And how foreign it felt.

I'm not as essential as I thought. That realization is both humbling and liberating. Three weeks after returning from Italy, I have coffee with Maya. "You look different," she observes. "Rested. Actually rested, not just less exhausted than usual." "I took a real vacation. Apparently, it shows." "It does. Hope, I'm glad you did that. You've needed it for years." We talk about her cases, the center's operations, and recent developments in consciousness healing techniques. For the first time in years, I'm able to discuss the work without immediately wanting to take over or fix problems.

The steady beat of her own heart. "Now," he said. "Just breathe. In. Out. In. Out." She breathed. The tension in her shoulders eased. The knot in her chest loosened. The fear that had been gnawing at her for weeks finally, briefly, faded. She opened her eyes. I feel better, she wrote. "Good," he said. "That's the first step. Learning to rest. Learning to let go." She squeezed his hand. Thank you, she wrote. "Always," he said.

They wanted the shiny, resilient version of Fallon who rose from the ashes with glossy skin and a skincare routine. But I wasn’t ready to rise. Not yet. First, I needed to rest. First, I needed to feel everything I’d been running from. Some nights, I took out the book Reid gave me years ago—The Art of Stillness. I didn’t read it. I just ran my hand across the note he’d written on the inside flap: In case you forget how to stop. He never forgot how to stop. He just forgot how to stay. I placed the book back on the shelf—top corner, spine out. Like it was watching over the room but no longer running it.

“It feels really good, I’ve never seen the sky so blue and beautiful before! I don’t feel like sleeping these two days, I’m worried that if I close my eyes and open them again it’ll be dark.” “Haha… Silly child. You’ve recovered from a serious illness, you should make sure you get enough rest. Don’t get too excited and tire out your eyes again.” Grandmother Dawson patted Anna’s hand with a kindly look on her face. “Yes, I’ll make sure I get enough rest. However, I can’t take any more breaks. There’s a lot of work waiting to be done as I’ve not been to school for so long. I have to finish my studies properly.”

A mixture that I had not noticed before in some of our pheromones. “Does this relax you?” Lake asks and I nod with my eyes closed, because I'm not able to open them, because of how relaxed and happy I feel.
