It’s either one night stands, fake short term relationships or nothing. You don’t just find a Tilly on every corner. A woman that will accept you, that if you are totally honest with her … won’t be afraid of you. I never had someone to … to help me. To direct me, and it damn near killed me. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I call it my dark shadow … it’s a part of me, but it’s a part of me I can mostly keep hidden, that I can control.

Lyra said immediately. Her voice was firm. "I've never seen that before in my life." "Your fingerprints are on it." Sera's voice hardened. The tears stopped flowing quite so fast. "The guards found it after you gave them your bag and as they were searching your things at the border. And I" She swallowed hard. Her throat bobbed. "I saw you today.

I hadn't called her since. Oh God. "She's not answering your calls, is she?" Thorne asked. "No." "Because she can't." I stared at him. At his gray eyes and his tattooed neck and the scar hidden beneath his collar. "You're saying she's dead." "I'm saying the Shadowborn don't leave witnesses." The room spun. I grabbed the edge of the bookshelf to steady myself, my knuckles white against the old wood. My breath came in short, sharp gasps—too fast, too shallow, not enough.

(THIRD POV) Dr. Collins leaned back against the cracked leather seat of the taxi, her fingers drumming restlessly on her lap. The sky outside had turned a heavy, ominous shade of blue, the last light of the day smothered by thick clouds, and the streetlights buzzed to life, casting long shadows across the road. It was so much darker than when she had first left Ivy’s place; the hours had slipped away faster than she realized, and the creeping night felt like a veil of anxiety settling over her shoulders.

Shadows flickered and shifted, revealing glimpses of ancient fears and regrets. Emily's voice trembled, "What is this place? It's as if our pasts are being brought to life before our eyes."

Disguised in her attire, she entered the establishment, hoping to find solace and clarity amidst the chaos of her thoughts. Taking a seat at the bar counter, she began consuming shots of alcohol, one after another. The bartender, observing her excessive intake, grew concerned, yet he continued to fulfill her orders. Meanwhile, a tall, fair, and handsome man with an impressive physique, one of the bartender's colleagues, found himself captivated by Natasha's beauty as she consumed more and more alcohol.

The woman staring back at me was pale and exhausted, but her eyes burned with a quiet determination. Slowly, I moved closer, finger trailing the cold glass.
