I'd jumped up to give him a big hug, giggling in his ear: "Meeting you was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me." He'd hugged me back so tight I could barely breathe. "Meeting you was my blessing. I promise I'll make lots of money in the future and make you the happiest person alive!" Now I walked aimlessly through the snow, thinking how ridiculous those sweet memories and promises seemed. He had plenty of money now, but instead of keeping his promise, he'd transferred all that affection to his mistress.

“Quill is doing very well now. He’s a top host at the central station. I recall he was your senior, right? Once you’re abroad, you two can look out for each other. “I’ll contact him now. On the day of departure, you can take the special flight together.” Yasmine thought of the man who had always been gentle and elegant back in school, and she felt a flicker of anticipation. She had not seen Quill Jensen in years. When she returned home from the station, she was about to push the door open when she heard Yara’s voice inside.

It was stronger now—jasmine, amber, and something warmer threaded through the cotton. I lay back and stared at the ceiling for a long beat, one palm over my sternum as if I could slow the metronome under my skin. Then I typed one more message, each word a vow. Alonzo: Next time I’ll help. I set the phone down face-up, waited for nothing in particular, and let my eyes close on the shape of that sentence. Not pressure. Not a demand.

Outside, the world was alive with lights and fireworks, but that joy seemed worlds away from him. He sat there in the shadows, smoking in isolation, and my heart broke for him. I smiled through it. "Merry Christmas early! Got a gift for me?" He chuckled, and a transfer notification pinged on my phone. He had just sent me 100 thousand dollars, which blew my mind. After a long pause, he murmured, "Nora, come back soon. I'm really..." The wind scattered his words; I couldn't make out if it was "lonely" or "missing you".

He looked up, a glimmer of hope reigniting in his eyes. "You can pay on a monthly basis. I'll give you a 30-day payment term." That glimmer died, replaced by an unreadable expression. "12,000 dollars? That's what you charge your family?" "Family, huh?" I reiterated, savoring the words. "Uncle Liam, do you know what that word means in my book? In my book, treating someone like family means paying them on time, not ripping them off, and not weaponizing blood ties to haggle on prices. I'm sure you know the state of your factory better than I do, Uncle Liam.

I had paid him well in advance to make sure the video played all the way through. One by one, the photos appeared on screen. Every single one showed Jasper and Fiona living it up abroad. Then, the final few slides hit. They were hospital consent forms for emergency surgery and an amniotic fluid embolism report, and on every document, the signature line for next of kin was blank. The last image was a photo of me, drenched in blood, lying on a stretcher as I was rushed into emergency surgery. The montage ended with a written statement that was over a thousand words long. It was my full account of every trip, every hotel booking, every time Jasper had snuck off with Fiona behind my back over th

“Here, wrap your pinky around mine. “Maddie instructs. “That’s it. And now we shake.“ “What is this for exactly?“ “The idea is that if you break the promise, you break your pinky.“ Maddie informs me. “Hence, pinky promise.” It breaks? I look up at her at the violent idea. It’s surprising to hear. “Does it? “ I’m not even questioning how it does- maybe magic? “I’ve never broken a promise, and my pinky’s still okay. So probably. “Maddie smiles. “Here, “Maddie holds her finger with mine, and we shake. “Now it’s a promise. I will do all I can to get you away from that dreadful Mykhol. “

"James, if we get separated one day and cannot find each other, you must wait for me! We should not give up on each other so easily. Let's make a promise for three lifetimes!"

"Mom said you guys moved. That can't be true, right?" The moment I heard his voice, it felt like the past came rushing back, hitting me all at once. Oliver's voice came fast and anxious. "You've lived there for decades, and my mom said she and your mom promised to stay best friends for life. "Maybe people just got it wrong. You're just traveling or something, right?"
