Never Too Far Novels & Stories

The child had left him completely speechless. Once upon a time, I had said the exact same thing. I had complained about the smell of smoke on him, too. He watched Leo's retreating figure, a strange sense of familiarity rising inside him. Lowering his head, he muttered to himself, "Isabella, I'm close to finding you."

My phone buzzed in my hand so hard my fingers went numb. I looked down. The DMs were stacking up faster than I could read them. [Sophia Shaw, come on, we're classmates, give me a discount. Fifty for one round, deal?] [With a body like yours, who could stop at just twice a night?] [I've sent the money. I'll meet you at the hotel you pinned tonight] My mind went blank. I threw the phone away. That suffocating feeling–like a plastic bag being pulled over my head–came rushing back, choking me.

Still my eyes close I manage to grab Farren’s chubby arms to pull her close to me. I used her arm to wipe some sands on my face. Her arms are quite chubbier and sturdier than the last time I hold it. It keeps on vibrating on my face as if Farren is giggling, but I can’t hear her snorting or scream in high pitch sounds. “Keep still, Farren,” I requested. “Uhm, auntie?” Farren called. I heard Caleb laugh at the background and Ciri giggling. “What?” I groaned, still rubbing her arms on my cheeks and face.

“I was in the neighborhood. Thought I’d drop by, see how you were doing.” I raised an eyebrow. “You don’t live anywhere near here. Try again.” He sighed, dropping the pretense. “Alright, fine. Grace left me."

My eyes are trained on the screen but my mind is far away, which is why Noah shoots my avatar down four times in a row. “Seriously man, you’re not even trying.” Noah weirdly looks at me, as if he can peer into my mind, reach into my soul and grasp whatever has been torturing me the whole weekend. I’d like to believe, however, that I’m not so transparent and can hide my secrets well enough that a practical stranger isn’t privy to them.

No thanks! "I rather not" I said making him laughs. "You’re always scared this much?" he asked still smiling wearing that breathtaking smile on his face. "I just...I don't know, I’m used to my life this way...I guess" I said looking away from him, I closed my eyes feeling the fresh air. "Have you ever been out of country?" he asked me. I remained silent, he gasped making me avoid looking at him.

Months later Leonardo Alvarez It's been some time since I've been talking to Camila, and at this moment I didn't know how to describe our relationship, I mean, we've never met, although it's weeks away, weeks? For us to meet for the first time at the university, and the truth is that I had no intention of sharing the details of that meeting with my friends.

there was no comfort in his voice, only convenience. -- The car raced down the empty hallway, and the city lights faded behind him. The road stretched long and dark ahead. Jace didn’t know how far he drove. Maybe few hours. His hands were still tight on the wheel, his breathing shallow, his mind replayed the image again and again. The picture of Adam in his Mum’s bed. The car finally slowed, then stopped. Silence rushed in, loud and heavy. He sat there for a long moment, staring straight ahead.

Nothing. “So we’re back to nothing,” I said. Wyatt’s voice came out quiet beside me. “No.” He paused, moving closer. “We’re dealing with someone who knows exactly how to disappear and erase every trace.”

He couldn’t take a clear picture of them because they were walking away. “Grandma, let’s go over there!” the child said. “No, don’t go there, sweetheart. It’s dangerous. Your mom said we shouldn’t go far — we won’t stay outside long,” the old woman replied. A few minutes later, they went back inside. William managed to take a photo, but it was blurry because they were too far away.
