“Always. Whatever the media says, whatever anyone thinks, you’re not alone in this. I’m with you every step of the way.” --- That night, as I lay in bed, Noah’s words echoed in my mind. I had spent so much time worrying about how I was perceived, but I knew deep down that Noah was right. The only opinion that truly mattered was my own. And I knew, without a doubt, that I had earned my place at the table. I wasn’t just here because of who I was with; I was here because of what I had built.

the third voice said, a bit more gently, “she tops the charts too. She just needs to believe it. Girl’s got talent.” That was enough. Ava quietly slipped out, walked back to her desk, and tried to shake it off. But their voices followed her ringing in her ears, stubborn and clinging. She hated being shy. Hated how it made her blend in when all she wanted was to stand out. However, the third person's words gave her solace, settling in her chest like a tiny anchor. It didn't fix everything but knowing someone out there was rooting for her strengthen her resolve in winning the competition.

“You’re the only woman in this house. The only one who has ever slept i this bed. The only one I’ve let this close.” I swallow, my heart beating faster. “Really?”

I asked, my fingers hovering over the keys. "What's the difference?" Tia asked, her voice dripping with scepticism. "Instaconnect is for people who want to meet up in twenty minutes for something that involves very little talking," I explained. "Lovebomb, on the other hand, is for the long game. It’s got algorithms, personality quizzes, and a much lower 'creep' factor. That’s where I found Kyle."

Elliott added. Noah’s brow furrowed faintly. “Sharing?” “You,” Elliott clarified. Silence. Noah did not react immediately. “You’re a client,” Noah said carefully. “You don’t share. I don't belong to anyone." Elliott turned back to his seat. Noah exhaled sharply. “I’m offering a private arrangement. You become unavailable to others,” he said. Noah’s throat moved as he swallowed. “You don’t get exclusivity here.” “You enjoy it, don’t you?”

‘So, you’re here alone. I rolled my eyes so hard I saw my own brain. ‘In case your billionaire powers of observation have failed you, Portia and Josh are down there. They’re fully formed human beings. I’m not marooned on a desert island.’ ‘You know what I mean.’ I sighed. ‘Fine. If you mean, am I here alone, unattached, tragically single, a pathetic singleton surrounded by a sea of Valentine’s couples, then yes. Congratulations on your deduction. I am alone. Are you happy now?’

We cling to each other, sobbing into each other’s shoulders, sharing everything we’ve both been carrying. After what feels like forever, our emotions finally settle. I pull back slightly, just enough to see his face. His eyes are searching mine, full of questions. Is this goodbye? Is this the last time he gets to hold me? I shake my head, tears slipping down my cheeks. “No. No, I’m not leaving you. I can’t leave you.” Relief floods his features, but there’s still uncertainty there. “You might not know this, but you’re the only person I have in my life right now. The only person I can count on. I don’t have a family. I don’t have friends. I just have you.” My voice cracks, the rawness of my c

He tells her and she pulls him into a hug again. “Be safe” She calls to him as he walks out of the door, letting out a small smile as stares at him. I just couldn’t help but think how good it must feel to have a grandma lie Hilda. I should call Auntie Claudia some time. She is the only family I have right now. I let out a deep sigh before getting back to work.

Raze said wiping her tears again. “Hey, sorry to bother you two,” Daemon said coming into the room. “Speaking of the devil,” Raze chuckled making her giggle. Daemon looked at them confused then shook his head, “Anyway, um, Little One ate five chicken nuggets and some fries and drank all her apple juice. Can she have that ice cream now?” “Chocolate chip cookie dough?” Raze asked and Daemon smirked. “Oh, she’s why that’s the only flavor you will eat,” He chuckled. “Go figure.”
