YVONNE'S P.O.V

A black sedan arrived less than an hour later, forty-three minutes to be exact.

I was standing by my bedroom window, watching the street go by when I saw it pull up to the curb below. The vehicle was sleek, shining under the afternoon sun. The windows were dark and tinted too

Then a man stepped out, as if he could feel me watching him, he looked up towards my window, his face expressionless

A swallow worked down my throat. Quickly, I grabbed my purse, checked my reflection one

    SIXTEEN YEARS AGO: CLAYTON'S P.O.V“I...um...I...really” My words flattered, of course, it did.For once, I couldn't even blame it on my heart; I was getting much better. Dr Harris said the surgery had gone well, and if everything continued like this, I would eventually be able to live a normal life.I feel so much better as the day goes by. I can use the stairs without collapsing, I can run short distances now, Dad even lets me after Uncle Sway pushes him to, of course Most days, breathing didn't feel I was trying to suck air through a straw.But all of that seemed to disappear whenever I came to this library. No... It disappears whenever I'm with Yvonne.She looked up from the gigantic astronomy book resting on her lap. I could bet my favourite comic collection that she doesn't understand most of the words inside it, but she loves the stars, and the book has pictures in it tooHer eyes meet mine, hers are the colour of reddish brown, like... a russet. It's so rare and beautiful, a

    YVONNE'S P.O.VDuring the elevator ride, I drew in several breaths, counted one to ten, and encouraged myself to forget about what I had just seen “Ready?” Mr Voss asked as the elevator stopped and the doors began sliding open with a soft chime. His hand was still in mine, holding me, anchoring me to his presence and safety “Yeah," I smiled genuinely. God knows I needed this dinner date to help calm my nerves, even for a few hours. The doors opened, and immediately, my jaw fell to my feet. “My God,” I didn't even know when the exclamation slipped out of my lips because we were standing on the rooftop of this five-star restaurant And it was empty, deliberately empty Soft jazz drifted lazily in the massive space while hundreds of tiny fairy lights were strung between white pillars and flowering vines. The Seattle skyline stretched into an endless horizon around us, glittering beneath the night sky. Candles flickered atop every single table, yet only the one in the center had been

    YVONNE'S P.O.VThere were different types of silence I've come to understand. There was the kind where I could hear my heart pounding in my chest, where every second stretched longer than it should have, and I was just desperate to get away from itThere was also this kind of silence, the warm and comforting kind. Mr Voss didn't have to make too many talks as he drove us to our reservations, only being with him inside this enclosed car... breathing in his scent and watching him navigate through the road filled with me a sense of peace My chest stretched as I watched his side profile; the neon lights from the city streamed in through the car, illuminating his face.Normally, I would have been talking about anything to fill up the silence, maybe work or something funny I had seen online, but right now, I was more than content to sit by his side and enjoy the calm that only came to me when I'm with Clayton Voss“Darling?” He called softly and sweetly, his eyes still on the roadI pushe

    YVONNE'S P.O.V“Is this good?” I asked, holding up the dress for Sasha to inspect, or rather approve over FaceTime.She squinted her eyes at the screen for a few seconds before pointing dramatically. “Yvonne Young, tell me that isn't the exact shade of Clayton Voss's eyes.”I glanced down at the dress in my hands, that particular feeling I've had all night intensified “Maybeee?”“Oh my God.” Sasha threw her head back, a kind laugh slipping out from her “You color matched your man's eyeballs, that's so cute Yvie”My heart jumped immediately at that. “He's not my man.” I found myself protesting immediately. Over the phone, I could see her adjusting on her bed while her pet cat rubbed his fur all over her cheeks. “Mmhmm. Then explain why you spent twenty minutes texting me, trying to decide which between the midnight blue and the ultramarine blue dress?” She gave me a look “I know what you were doing Yvie, even though you don't. You were deliberately looking for something with the same

    CLAYTON'S P.O.VThe door to my private suite clicked shut behind me.I had barely wrapped up the weekend when an impromptu meeting downstairs was interrupted by Uncle Sway, who insisted that he and Anthony needed to see me immediately.Again.Apparently discussing my father's will over the phone wasn't enough anymore. They wanted to do it in person, as though hearing the same tight conditions face-to-face would somehow change them, but it wouldn't I knew every clause of that document by heart, I knew every sentence, the deadline was staring right in front of my face. I knew that tooI loosened my tie as I crossed my personal suite, glancing at the time on my watch. In a few hours, I was supposed to pick Yvonne up, the thought eased the tightness inside me instantly.A small smile tugged at the corner of my mouth before I could stop it, all of a sudden, the burden I'd been carrying on my shoulders all day didn't seem so heavy anymore I could feel that small smile stretch into somethi

    YVONNE'S P.O.VMy heart stopped the pumping thing it was supposed to doActually...No.It kept beating, only now it was pounding so violently against my ribs that I feared Mr Voss would hear it before he saw me.”Who's there?” His deep voice echoed through the corridor.Every muscle in my body locked, freezing me over. I couldn't move or breathe or think I pressed myself harder against the marble pillar as if I could merge myself into it. Please...Please don't come this way. Please don't see meThe sharp click of his shoes echoed as Mr Voss walked towards me. One...two... three, Each sound sounded louder than the last.He was walking toward me. Oh God. Oh God. Mr Voss was going to catch me, and I won't be able to explain what I was doing here and why I'm hiding from him. Then since I can't tell him the truth, he would have to bring our... relationship to an endMy eyes stung and the first drop of tears slid out. God, it hurt. Just the thought of upsetting Mr Voss and ruining this se
