Yet here I am, drawing circles on her lower back as she drifts in and out of consciousness. Me, though, I'm wide awake. Sated, but awake. And I can't stop thinking about what Mari said earlier about being content. People always talk about chasing their happiness, but what if that's the root of most relationship problems? What if that's been part of my problem? What if there is so much pressure to be happy, when happiness isn't something you can be every minute of every day anyway? What if being content, with lots of sprinkles of happiness, as Mari describes it, is actually a healthier, more realistic goal?

he promises and I don't know what he means, but I don't even care because I'm so happy I might pass out. ✨ T H E E N D ✨

What disturbs and depresses young people is the hunt for happiness on the firm assumption that it must be met with in life. From this arises constantly deluded hope and so also dissatisfaction. Deceptive images of a vague happiness hover before us in our dreams, and we search in vain for their origin. Much would have been gained if, through timely advice and instruction, young people could have eradicated from their minds the erroneous notion that the world has a great deal to offer them.

He smiled. “All I want is for us to get along better.” “You have to be here for that to happen,” I told him. He wasn’t even at home so that was a bold statement. “I will, I know I work a lot but I promise you to get home early every evening to make time for you.” He said. Once again he had made me a promise, but I knew he couldn’t keep them so I did not expect anything. Just like him, all I wanted was for us to get along. and that was it.

"You don't think it will last with fella of yours, but that's alright. Be happy while you can and remember we are responsible for our happiness. And you never know. Maybe you and this guy can work things out" "Yeah, Maybe", I replied. Be happy while you can. I think I needed to hear that more than I realized. "Rhea, can you promise me, you will find your happiness. Even if it's not with this man. But if his presence makes you feel happy, stay with him. I need to know that you can do that", I didn't like the pressure his eyes were applying. But I couldn't tell him no. "Yes of course I will", I forced a smile on my face for him.

When Trevor said these words, he looked elsewhere. After a long time, Jenna understood how cruel reality was. She sobbed and asked, "Dad, do you think I can still be happy after Hansen marries Liya?" Trevor felt his hand tremble slightly and he held his glasses with his hand. Then, he placed his hands behind his back and paced a few steps. He said firmly, "You have to find happiness on your own, unlike what others perceive. I called you here today to tell you that happiness is actually very simple. As long as you're willing, you'll be happy. It's the threshold that you have to surmount in your heart."

We talked lightly, laughed softly, avoiding heavy topics. And in the midst of our conversation, Liam said softly, “Today I realized something.” “What?” I asked. “That happiness does not always come after a great victory or a long war,” he said. “Sometimes happiness is as simple as this seeing you laugh, hearing our child breathe, and knowing we are still here.” I looked at him for a long time, then nodded. “Let this simple happiness last a long time.” “Forever,” Liam answered with certainty.

While adjusting his tie, he said, "After the photo shoot, I'm taking Isabelle to Holy Moon Spring for purification and blessing to keep the pregnancy safe. I'll be gone for about three days. "So you'll handle the ceremony arrangements. Just keep it simple.” He'd told me not to worry about it. But now he dismissed the day we'd spent five years waiting for with nothing more than a throwaway "keep it simple". I knew the bonding ceremony would never happen. Still, hearing him say it cut deep. Ryder picked up his keys. "Once it's all over, I'll give you the prime territory as compensation. You've always loved the forest by Silvercrest, haven't you?"

He looked at her and she immediately took that as a sign to step in. “Claire, we have to make sure grandmama is in good health first before everything else, okay? We’ll go on the beach trip once everything’s settled,” She assured her despite her not knowing if will even fall through. “You promise?” She gave both of them the puppy eyes. Kai licked his lips, briefly glancing at her before looking at their daughter with a smile on his face. “Promise, my love.” Then she looked at her mom who’s watching them, not knowing how to react.

But as I started the engine, the powerful hum vibrating smoothly beneath me, I realized something else. Happiness could also be steady. Intentional. Chosen. And as Keal walked around to the passenger side, climbing in beside me with that satisfied grin, I understood one thing with unshakable clarity: This wasn’t just a gift. It was a promise.
