she said. He nodded, slowly, and she walked over and dropped herself into her armchair, picked up her book, let the quiet of the library settle over her and told herself again that it was nothing. By the time she finished the same paragraph for the fourth time, she realized that she hadn’t retained a word of it. It was nothing. It was nothing. It was probably nothing.

Izzy was just quiet as she listened to me as I spoke while giving her the books to pile in the boxes. "We're rich, Izzy, but no money could help me escape Rian or my mind. We tied therapy a few times before Rian, but they never worked. They only made me wore, because I feel like I can't breathe on my own," I looked at the book in my hand and it was one of my favorite books, The samurai game by Christine Feehan. "These books," I whispered as a tear fell from my eyes, "they need to go. I need to face my reality, and these books are preventing me from doing it," Izzy stood up and hugged me.

Just “what are you doing” Elma thought about it. Really thought. Last Friday she would have said “catching up on work”. The Friday before that: “finishing that report”. The Friday before that: “probably emails”. This Friday she opened her mouth and the answer came without planning. Without guilt. Without the little voice saying “but you should be productive”. Elma smiled. “Nothing. I am doing nothing.” The words hung there. Nothing. For years “nothing” had been the scariest word in her vocabulary. Nothing meant falling behind. Nothing meant someone else would get the promotion. Nothing meant she wasn’t enough.

Thanks belonged to other rooms.

I tried to concentrate on his book—the one he had given me the day before—but it was boring. It was about a beautiful young woman who needed a big, strong man to come and save her, so instead I looked at him.

"There's nothing wrong with that, Deborah. Nothing shameful about wanting to read stories that make you feel something." I looked up at him, surprised by the conviction in his voice. "You really think that?" "I know it." He reached past me, his arm brushing mine as he picked up the book again. "Besides, you have excellent taste. Sylvia Dayn knows how to write tension that'll keep you up all night. The way she builds the emotional connection between her characters is incredible." My eyes widened. "Who are you and what have you done with Liam Reynolds?” I asked. “You've read it?"

⸻ Silence. 🌑 Ilyaan looked at him. Then at the door.

Not uncomfortable silence but the full kind, the kind that suggested people were actually receiving what had been said rather than simply waiting to respond. “You want to publish it?” Nikolai asked. “I don’t know yet. Maybe. Eventually.” Anya looked at each of them in turn. “But before I do anything

The only sounds were the turn of pages, my typing, and the quiet night outside. Fifty-three minutes later he set the book down. He looked at it for a moment before he stood. “There’s a chapter near the end,” he said, not looking at me. “About the way financial structures absorb individual decisions until no single person appears responsible for anything.” He paused. “I’ve been thinking about it for weeks.”
