We said are greeting, and then it was time for the final meeting before we headed out. “ And a good morning to you all, I'm pretty sure we are all excited and sad, that being today is our last day here, but let's try to make the most of it okay guys

"Listen, carefully. Just because I'm grateful doesn't mean you get a free pass to risk your life again. You understand me?" Her smile faltered and she nodded, well, slowly. "Understood." At least to some extent, the tension was diffused. I smiled slightly. "Good. Now let's talk about tomorrow." Immediately, one eyebrow arched upward. "What about tomorrow?" She asked, her eyes danced in curiosity. "It's our last day here," I replied, leaning onto the edge of the bed. "I thought we could do something to make it memorable." Her eyes sparkled as she sat down beside me. "Memorable how?”

"And for how many times do I have to tell you not to mind those bastards who don't have even the slightest care with how I spend my money? Baby, I understand your point, but it's completely okay. I love you so, what's mine is yours. Let us not argue with our last day here, okay?" Well, I just nodded and agreed. In my mind, I didn't want to argue with him as well because this was our last day here. All we wanted to do was to enjoy and enjoy what we did. This would be the last day that we would spend here where there were only the two of us, loving and enjoying each other's company.

Maya started crying somewhere behind him, and I watched his face change. "Lara. Maya is in bad shape. Let me get her first

I smiled sincerely and turned away from the prison. After seeing Vivian for the last time, I would never need to see her again in this life. She would disappear from my world forever. And my world would finally see the warmth of spring.

The struggles and sorrows of that other life were finally sealed away—gently, tenderly, by the hands of time. -THE END-

Your love means nothing to me anymore. "But—" "What could you possibly say? I only have two months left." I tipped my head and smiled. "Johan, didn't you say you were tired of me? Perfect. I only have two months left to live." Once I was dead, he wouldn't have to see me anymore. Johan's eyes reddened. I closed mine and leaned back as the rocking chair gently swayed, letting the pain swallow every sense. There was no cure. No matter how many famous doctors he found, I was still going to die.

I thought of the twisted rules they had beaten into me, and the terror of the opposite sex that had been branded into my body. I thought of that holiday night, the fireworks filling the sky, and the moment I stepped off the rooftop, the relief and the lightness of it. I thought of Talia's guilt, the apology she had never been able to say out loud, and the note she had left behind.

I nod, throat tight, adrenaline finally starting to drain out and leave something rawer underneath. "Ten minutes," I say quietly. "That's how close I came to losing everything I've built here over one deleted file." "I know." His expression doesn't soften. "Which is exactly why this ends. Soon. However it has to." I find Octavia at the coffee station twenty minutes later, composed as ever, like the last hour never happened anywhere near her. "Rough day?" she asks, not quite looking at me. "You could say that." "I heard the Ashford deck disappeared right before the meeting. Such terrible luck." She stirs her coffee, unhurried. "Good thing you managed anyway. I heard the client was impressed."
