He had always been reserved, rarely sharing his thoughts, especially in front of Edward.

coral.
It was a scene Delia had arranged, and Jayce often found solace in watching the fish glide gracefully through the

doesn’t mean | should
move out.”
“So, you're okay with him living there? You two hang out all the time?” Arthur's tone grew colder.
“That's ridiculous,” she retorted, feeling frustrated.
Charlotte thought, “I can’t control other people's choices, and neither can you!”
She loved this place and had no intention of leaving.
Arthur's chest tightened as he took in her impassive face. The familiar feeling of suffocation crept back in.

Her long hair was casually pinned up, with a few loose strands. cascading down.
Memories of the countless nights over the past five years when he’d chto find her just like this flooded
back.
She had been smiling brightly as she served dinner.
At that moment, something stirred within him, a familiar ache that felt both nostalgic and painful.
Arthur glanced down, realizing the cigarette was burning dangerously close to his fingers, but the pain was
