More days passed and April was getting used to the way things went. The lunch crowd at Soleil arrives all at once, with no warning and zero patience.By half past twelve, every table in April's section was full and the counter had a line that curved towards the door. She moved through it, her notepad in hand and a smile planted on her face. Her body felt like it was on autopilot while her mind ran the checklist, “Table four needed a refill…table seven had been waiting eleven minutes for their order”she noted“Ooh, the gentleman at the counter wanted to know if the kitchen could do something without pepper” she knew the answer was no but she needed to still go and ask. She liked this and that was still the surprising part. She found that the movement of it suited her…the way there was always something to do and it left no space for her thinking of unnecessary things.Her phone buzzed in her apron pocket but she couldn't check it, not during the rush. It took a week before she learnt

The dining room of the Cole's was always too large for two people. It had been built for gatherings, for the kind of family dinners that filled all twelve seats and required the staff to move between courses in an organised, soundless choreography that large houses demanded. But now it was Jonathan and Marie, at opposite ends of the long table, with the space between them and the clink of cutlery the only sounds being made.Marie had something bothering her, Jonathan noticed so he asked as she refilled her wine. "Amber called," she said.Jonathan didn't look up from his plate yet. "What did she want?""To talk," Marie said. "But she sounded calm.""Good.""She has been calm for weeks," Marie said. "Even with Adrian out of the country." She set the glass down. "It's unusual."Jonathan looked up, but not because the information surprised him, he was just accessing whether the information was worth his attention. "Damien is the calm one, but…Maybe Amber has decided to change? There's

[Damien’s Mansion]Damien was back from the office in the evening and he went to his room first but something went through his mind causing him to frown, so he headed for Ava's room.The bedroom was dark when Damien came in, not completely dark though. Ava had left the small lamp on the side table burning at its lowest setting after turning off her room lights.She was at the wardrobe, pulling out her pyjamas, when she heard the door open but she didn't turn immediately."Your timing is impeccable," she said."Your door doesn't lock properly," Damien replied, acting like he was trying to fix it but since it wasn't bright enough he turned on the lights."My door locks fine, why are you here” “That's not how to talk to the man you love, plus I'm serious your door lock has a problem” Ava turned around. Damien was leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed, jacket off, shirt still on from the office and he was looking at her like he could never ever get enough of her beautiful

[Next day- almost midnight]Lauren's apartment was quiet in the particular way it got after a full evening. She had changed out of her dress and was in her favourite oversized shirt, her hair down and her face washed, when she heard the doorbell.She looked at the time on her phone, Eleven forty-two.She walked to the door and looked through the peephole, then stood there for a moment with her hand on the frame because she knew the person.Victor Kane was standing in her hallway.He was still in the clothes he wore to the office today, dark trousers, a white shirt with the top button open the way he always wore it, his jacket folded over his arm. He had his other hand in his pocket and he looked, through the narrow circle of the peephole, completely relaxed.Lauren stepped back, she had been avoiding him all day so why did he come here?She opened the door, "It's almost midnight," she said."I know what time it is," he replied.She leaned against the doorframe and looked at him.

Later, when the food was finished and the gifts were stacked in the corner of the sitting room. April looked up and found Lucas watching her from across the room.He looked away immediately but she didn't care. The truth was that she had noticed his behavior right from when he walked in. She had noticed the slight pause in his step when he saw Gavin standing with her as she was trying to get the confetti off his shoulders. He looked fine and she was too. It was nice of her not to consider him an enemy after how badly he treated her, that shows she's matured. She's eighteen and she has a summer ahead of her which she has decided, quietly and without announcement, not to carry anyone's weight into it.So she smiled when Gavin made his next joke, and she went and sat beside her mother, and she let the evening be what it was.Across the room, Lucas watched her laugh at something Gavin said.He was glad she was happy…he has been telling himself that for weeks that he believed it complet

The living room was loud in the way only family gatherings manage to be. Conversations layered over each other without competing. Music was coming from somewhere in the kitchen and Mrs. Sterling's voice rising above everything else at intervals, issuing instructions that nobody fully followed but everyone partially obeyed.April sat on the arm of the sofa with a cup of juice in her hand and watched all of it with quiet contentment. She watched as her mom moved through the room without stopping and had manage to hug everyone present at least once within the first hour. She also refilled plates that hadn't been empty and brought out her freshly baked pie which she reserved specially for Damien. After giving the first half to Damien, she returned to April with the other half and sat beside her on the sofa."My last born…my baby," she said softly."Mom, I'm eighteen," April replied."I know what age you are, I was there when you arrived." She squeezed her hands. "I got you something smal

"Too late…too late?"Adrian muttered as he sat with those words like they were stones he couldn't put down. The city below him didn't care. It moved and breathed and hummed with the business of people who had places to be and things to feel, and he sat on his balcony above all of it with an empty g
