I filed it under ‘noted’ with everything else that could save me or be used against me later. “Timeline?” I asked. Elias’ smile showed a canine. “Before any of us fall. Which—” he gestured vaguely to the circle of men whose romantic lives were negotiations with publicity teams “—could be a very long time. I’ll give you a year regardless. We’ll call it a gentleman’s clause. If none of us marries in a year, the wager dissolves and you keep your pride.” A year. A quarter and then some. A neat period in which to test a theory: Whether control could frame even this, the warmest, most foolish of human contracts, into a box with hinges that I owned.

"Then, consider the police report a joke too. You can explain to the officers exactly what was so funny about it." Logan's expression changed. He stared at Leo with open hostility and demanded, "Who the hell are you? What gives you the right to get involved in our business?" Leo's tone remained flat. "After tonight, I will be Julia's husband." "That is a lie!" Logan shouted, his face turning red. "Julia promised to marry me. She waited for me for seven years. There is no way she would turn around and marry someone else." I took Leo's hand and laced my fingers firmly through his. "I already told you. The man I'm marrying is not you."

"There, there, babe. We're getting married sooner or later. There's no need for you to care so much about a mere object, is there?" I looked up at him, quietly asking, "Tell me, then—when are we getting married?" The smile on Douglas's face stiffened slightly at my question. He quickly recovered, his voice carrying a perfunctory tone as he said, "There's no rush. The reason I say that is because I want to give you the most perfect wedding in the world. Good things are always worth the wait." He wanted me to wait. Again. It had already been six years. Every year, he promised we'd get married. Year after year, I waited in full anticipation, only to be disappointed every time.

"A promise." In the back of his mind, the Utterance stirred with recognition. A promise. Of course. The Hungry consume possibility. Futures. Tomorrows. But a promise is a future that has been committed but not yet delivered. It exists in a state of permanent potential. It can never be fully consumed because it is always becoming. "Exactly," Jack said. "Ben, you listening?" "I am filing a one-thousand-and-forty-one-trillion-credit counter-suit while simultaneously restructuring our planetary defense budget and trying not to have a stress-induced cardiac event. But yes, I am listening."

Christian wasn’t perfect, but I wasn’t any better, and I was aware of that. “Look at us discussing things without arguing.” Christian chuckled. It came as a huge surprise to both of us, considering we couldn’t last a day without arguing. Christian made a promise to change, and it seemed like he was determined to keep it. “I honestly think this is the longest we’ve gone without arguing.”

I announced. “Welcome home, my Libulan,” he said, kissing my forehead lovingly. Our transparent bodies dispersed together with the gentle breeze of the solemn winds. As this happened, Sidapa’s last words faded along with the wind. “Now and forever, I am all yours. I will always love you, and will only yearn for you. We may forget each other, but my heart will forever remember your name. This is my eternal promise to you. Goodnight, my love.” THE END

Lila whispered, not expecting her voice to be so quiet. “Do you promise that it’ll be worth it, putting myself out there?” Kai asked her, cracking his eyes open only slightly, lifting his head a little. He looked so small. “Yes. I promise that something will come out of this, and when this is all over, you’ll be able to live a long life where you’ll be able to change yourself without repercussions,” Lila, for all her worth, bullshitted. “Promise me more than a long life,” Kai demanded of her.

He urged as he gave her hand a little squeeze as though to tell her not to interrupt " I know what you mean by those words. I understand perfectly well how you said you felt about me but ... But I can't accept it. Don't gasp, just listen. I don't wanna hurt you. Don't judge me only by my kind gesture. I do have my black deeds too but I am honest. I won't take anything you plan to offer me for granted. You don't need to offer yourself to me before I could help you. I can't promise you anything except for one single favour. Once I promise anyone anything, I would fulfill it even if it cost me my life " " So , what will you promise me then? " I promise to keep you safe, I promise you Iris, as l

It was a promise. *_*
