Hollis’ giggling died down as she nodded and flipped to a random station playing the Top 40 hits.

AVA It had been three weeks. Three long, dragging weeks since Luke left. Ava had tried everything, texts, calls and emails. All bounced back. The number she had for him no longer existed. She had gone to his apartment twice, but it was clear he was never coming back. He was gone. Ava barely functioned. Work became a prison. Her body went to meetings, but her mind drifted. Sleep abandoned her. Her appetite? Nonexistent. Her heart pounded every time she heard the elevator ding, every time her phone buzzed hoping, praying it was him. It never was.

The three of them chatted warmly, while Noelle stayed silent. Winona suddenly turned to her. "Elle, why aren't you saying anything? Do you have a problem with me? I know we had misunderstandings in college, but I hope we can be best friends now that you're marrying Chester." She lifted her glass and smirked at Noelle. Noelle didn't move for a long moment or even look at her. She suddenly clutched the front of her blouse as her breath came in gasps. Angry red hives spread across her forearm, forming a shocking and raw sight. She fumbled for her bag.

"Please… I regret everything! If I can just re-do everything, I'll give up on anything! She's the only one I want… I can't live without her! I feel so hollow!" Outside, Rosalyn leaned against the icy wall and slowly closed her eyes.

Wendy's tears would not stop as her face turned a deep shade of purple from crying so hard. "I didn't do anything. Liam, what's happening to you? "Please don't freak me out. I can't bear to lose you." Liam's hands fell to his sides, his eyes empty. His lips quivered as he whispered over and over. "She's not here. She's really not... "They can't find Sabrina at the records office... "No one remembers her. It's just me! I'm the only one!" Wendy slumped to the floor, clinging to his legs. "Liam, please, take a deep breath!"

“Wait for me, Naomi! I swear I’ll retake the entrance exams and get into your university. We’ll study together, just like we promised!” I shook my head and replied calmly, “No. I don’t want to go to university with you anymore.” In that instant, he looked completely shattered. Choking back tears, he asked, “Have you forgotten what we said when we were kids? We promised we’d go together!” I laughed. “You broke that promise yourself. That has nothing to do with me,” I said flatly. “I stood by you to retake the entrance exams for three years, Leo, but you were hopeless. Even if I gave you another three years, you still wouldn’t make it into the university I’m going to now.

Didn't care that I was pregnant. "When you wake up screaming—does that child ever show up in your dreams?" I stepped back. Calm. Steady. "Memories don't disappear. But my world is my husband and my daughter now. As for people who don't matter?" I shrugged. "I stopped caring a long time ago." I gave him his own words back. "Whatever we had is over. Completely." He staggered back. Face white as a sheet. I was done. I took Adrian's hand, ready to leave.

I took a deep breath, the air filled with the scent of coffee and freedom. "I was thinking that I used to believe love was everything in life." I squeezed Leo's hand, looking at the light glinting off my ring. "But the truth is, nothing waits for you forever. Especially a love that you strangled with your own hands." Luckily, when one door to darkness closes, life often opens a window to the light. "Let's go, Leo. We're going to be late." "Late for what?" "For embracing our future."

I look okay but I am losing my mind without you. When I hear your voice, I think of the sweet sound of calm waters swooshing over rocks. It calms me. And your laughter is a melody that makes my heart race with excitement. Olive Moretti, I do not want to lose you again. And despite how corny this sounds, I do not want to live my life without you. In your eyes, I've found my forever where every glance feels like a lifetime of love. Give me another chance to do it right, to love you the way you deserve.
