Once again, the game of glances, where they spoke thousands of words without saying a thing. The unspoken body language, the small smiles, the hands casually brushing through hair or resting on arms, the subtle movements, the magical feeling of creating an invisible tension in the air that connected them. Daniel’s blood was starting to boil, yet he still couldn’t take a single step toward her.

His expressionless face sent one message, but the fire in his eyes sent another. Deanna didn’t understand—was it because of Beverly? Could her fear be true? That he no longer loved her? She bit her lip, hesitating. Why had he come, then? To show her that his love had died and that now he had another woman by his side, someone more suitable?

Hours passed, but there was still no reaction from him. She felt her soul slipping a

    “But…”“But what, Crusher?”“You and her…”“Oh, please!” He threw his arms up. “Do you think that if we were together, I’d be telling you all this? Yes, I love her… But not that kind of love… I just want her to be happy, and it looks like her happiness is with you…”Daniel watched him, then looked toward the dressing room doors.“Are you still going to hesitate?”“Are you… letting her go?”“I will never let her go!

    His arms imprisoned her more tightly, he could feel how that daring neckline pressed against his chest; feel the small movements of her body, the electricity repeated itself, the heat repeated itself. If he could, he would embrace her so much as to incorporate her into his own being. His hands grew restless and traveled across her back and bare neck, moving further south until he could perceive the curve where her back ended beneath the countless layers of fabric of her dress. And that movement rewarded him with a stronger and more furious moan.She abandoned his jacket to fully hang from his neck, drawing him closer, as if Daniel wasn't already immersed in her orbit. Her hands slipped through his hair, how she adored running her fingers through those strands sprinkled with white! She couldn't stop the heat growing inside her, she had missed him so much. When lips weren't enough, she used her teeth in small, gentle bites and now it was Daniel's turn to emit sounds of pleasure

    He lifted her skirt, and her underwear met the same fate as the buttons. Finally, he took pity on Deanna, and when they came together again after so long, the pleasure was exquisite. Her back arched until it pressed completely against Daniel’s chest. He gripped her hips, setting a short but fierce rhythm.Hearing her voice her pleasure again with such shameless, uninhibited abandon was even better than hearing her sing. Watching her expressions—the way her mouth moved, the intensity in her eyes reflected in the mirror, the sheer depravity of it all—awakened something primal inside him.He tangled his fingers into her pinned-up hair and yanked her head back, exposing her neck. His mouth found its way there, searching until he reached that spot just behind her left ear that always made her moan. And moan she did—loud

    Deanna returned from the kitchen with two cups in her hands. While preparing the coffee, her elaborate hairstyle from that night had come undone slightly. The oversized shirt hung loosely on her, and yet, even in that disheveled state, Daniel still found her incredibly beautiful.He intercepted her before she could set the cups down on the small table and pulled her close by the waist."Why do you always look so sexy?" he asked, burying his face in her neck.He had always had these moments with her. Sometimes, he would find her somewhere in the house and wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to hold her, kiss her, or whisper sweet words in her ear. It was the way his large hands wrapped around her and the tenderness in his words that made Deanna call him "my poet." How could she not

    He listened to her without fully understanding what she was saying. How Leonard had followed her to Philippa’s house, his panic attack, the details of his relationship with her mother. Then she spoke to him about the loneliness he had lived in, the excuses he made to indulge his desires, and why he really did it. He had been a sad man, cornered by hatred and resentment. But now he was different; now he acted like a father to her."Did you really think I could ever look at a man like him?""I didn’t know what to think... You didn’t deny it either.""No, I didn’t. I was so angry, and I wanted to strip myself of everything we had, so I preferred that you believe it. I know how you are, and I knew it would hurt you. I was so hurt that I wanted you to feel at least a little of the same."

    Beverly was the first to feel the effects.Leonard had put her in a taxi, and she had driven a few blocks away. But then, she had asked the driver to turn back and wait a few meters from the parking lot.She had watched as Reed and Marcus left, crossing the street arm in arm like two drunken fools. Somehow, she knew Daniel was still inside, and Leonard had left without Deanna. And there they were, holding hands again, walking to his car, getting in, and driving away together.That same night, earlier, in her desperation to keep him from pushing her away, she had promised him it would be the last time, that she would leave his life and the company for good. Nothing had gone as expected. Now she stood alone, surrounded by people, without Daniel and without the Diva in sight. She knew exact

    They had been woken up by the relentless buzzing of messages flooding Deanna’s phone. It was already around nine. She was so comfortable sleeping on him that the persistent sound annoyed her—she didn’t want to move. Finally, she stretched out her hand and grabbed the device. An endless stream of notifications: Leonard, Leonard, Leonard, Leonard."Hey, Deanna, are you awake?""You must still be sleeping.""What happened last night with that idiot?""Why aren’t you answering?""If he did anything to you, I swear I’ll kil

    Harry had spent the afternoon with that woman who eased his sadness, only to feel guilty afterward. When he got home, Laura was waiting for him with little Emma. She looked like the same Laura as always, but she wasn’t—not anymore, and never would be again. But when he saw her smiling, he forgot, just for a moment, what had happened the night before.“Let’s go out for dinner tonight,” he said.He didn’t want to make amends, didn’t want to do more than necessary—he just wanted to rid himself of the guilt from his sinful afternoon. And Laura, thrilled, agreed. But had she known what awaited her, she wouldn’t have.Emma would stay with the nanny, and they would go out as a couple. So Laura got ready, did her makeup, and put on perfume.

    And Daniel wasn't the only Crusher dealing with doubts and uncertainties. Harry was also still learning, but for him, the learning curve was different: he had left behind a toxic relationship, devoid of affection and love, for one that was completely opposite. And sometimes, just sometimes, the resentment from those times would leave a lump in his throat.Even though Amanda was about to give birth, Harry still hadn't taken that next step in their relationship: marriage. He truly wanted to marry the mother of his child, but he had bitter memories from his last marriage that were holding him back.“I understand, Deanna, it's not easy for him to accept that things have changed,” Amanda said one warm afternoon as they sat together enjoying the last rays of sunshine.“That child was very lucky to have found you. I guess he still has a lot of open wounds.”“Yes... but he also became a happy and funny man. He's nothing like the Harr

    For the other grandfather, the more worldly one, everything was new. He couldn't share Charles's vision regarding children and grandchildren. He had only just learned to be a father to Deanna, when she no longer needed him to grow up. And he was still learning. Grandchildren? That was in another dimension.He had spent half his life immersed in resentment, hatred, and self-punishment. He reflected his mother's rejection in the women around him: his wife and daughters. He carried the unhappiness of lost love and felt nothing but fleeting moments.And in the blink of an eye, he had a family and a stable relationship that complemented him. He and Susan were something neither of them suspected or planned; they grew closer after Deanna and Daniel remarried, at family gatherings, in casual conversations. Until one day he realized he couldn't stop thinking about her.Old Leonard dusted off his true charm to win her over; because this woman was not like the others, this

    He held her hand as they waited for their turn for the ultrasound. One of her feet kept tapping the floor, causing her knee to rise and fall.Several other couples were waiting, some women alone, and they looked at them curiously. You couldn't help but notice the 15-year age difference, especially Daniel's increasingly noticeable gray hair. And, for some reason, Deanna's face looked more cheerful, fresher, and younger.“Don't be nervous,” she said, giving him a small smile.He just looked at her and smiled back. He was always nervous for her and their children; he couldn't help it. Even if everything was perfect and normal, Daniel always worried. It was just the way he was.Finally, it was time to go in, and the specialist welcomed them with everything ready.“Would you like to know the sex of your babies?” she asked.“Yes.”“Very well... Then let's check how they are first.”She

    Deanna continued singing throughout her pregnancy, but it became increasingly difficult. Carrying two children growing inside her and still shining on stage, captivating the audience with her voice and stage presence, was becoming difficult. Daniel accompanied her to every performance, proud of his wife and excited about the belly that grew every day.“I can't do this anymore,“ she told Leonard as she stepped off the stage.Wagner's Tristan and Isolde was the opera Marcus had chosen for that season.“Don't worry, I'll talk to Marcus and we'll find a replacement for you. It's time for you to rest, baby,” he said worriedly.He held her hand as if she were going to fall or fall apart. For Reed, it was a new experience. Despite Alice's pregnancies, he had never been involved in anything like this. But now he could see his grandchildren growing inside his daughter and was experiencing all kinds of emotions.Deanna was so touched

    When the last page of the document was signed, Harry could finally breathe deeply. It was over. Laura tried to fight it, but she had nothing left; none of the Crushers supported her. And the first thing he did with his freedom restored was to go and bring back the mother of his child. They settled back into Amanda's small, old apartment, for the time being. The house had gone to Laura, and Harry had no interest in going back there.And although Emma was legally in the care of her grandparents, she moved in with them. And for the first time, she was able to experience what it was like to have a loving family. It was easy for her to bond with Amanda, the little girl got along with everyone, especially when she received kisses and hugs and heard stories before going to bed. Having the same person take her to daycare by the hand and then pick her up to spend some time at the park soon became a habit for the little girl.Amanda asked Deanna to be her son's godmother and Dan

    “Well, what shall we do? Shall we have dinner?“ asked Leonard.“Please, I'm starving...” replied Deanna.“Get changed and let's go the Liverpool, my friend has booked us a table.”“Are you coming, Harry?“ asked Daniel.“Harry said he had things to do, but we'll take Emma,” replied Deanna.He rushed out with his phone in one hand and his car keys in the other. He had no idea what was going on, all he understood was that the envelope he was now carrying inside his jacket gave him the freedom he so desperately wanted. Freedom without fear.How had Deanna gotten it? He didn't understand either. All he could see was the road ahead. As he drove, he realized what he was feeling, what he really needed. It wasn't an impulse or a consolation. He wanted to see her, hear her, be with her, beg her for forgiveness and plead with her.When he arrived at the address on his GPS, he got out of

    Once again, the Ambassador raised the curtain, the lights shone brightly, and the seats awaited the audience. It was another opening night in the city. Some were eager to see her again, others went out of curiosity, and she continued to feel nervous. But this time, the entire family was present, even Camila.She could no longer make excuses; she was the wife of his eldest son. And to Charles' surprise, she hadn't put up much resistance; it seemed that she was beginning to accept Deanna's place. Harry also got his tickets, which caused another argument at home, but he didn't care what Laura had to say. He dressed Emma and they left; he didn't know how long the girl would be able to sit still, but at least they would see her for a while.In her dressing room, there was a bouquet of roses from Daniel, her costume hanging on a hanger, and the makeup artist putting the finishing touches on her. Her stomach was a ball of nerves and her heart was filled with happiness. She ha

    Daniel arrived home from work to find Leonard sitting in his living room, looking very relaxed and comfortable, but Deanna was nowhere to be seen.“What are you doing here?” he asked.“Deanna called me and asked me to come over.”“For the premiere?”Leonard just shrugged.“Are they here?”“Nope...”“And Susan?”“At home.”The door opened and Jonathan ran in, followed by Ethan and Naomi and finally Deanna.“Hi, sweetie,” Leonard greeted her.Strangely, the children barely said hello and quickly went up to their rooms. Her face said nothing; she was grim, somber. She looked at them and made them uncomfortable.“Deanna, what's wrong?“ Daniel noticed something strange.“I need to talk to you. Can we go to your office?”“Yes...”What was going on?

    Deanna searched her mind, but she couldn't remember anyone named Amanda, not even from college. But from the way she asked about Harry and looked at Emma, she knew him.“Harry's fine... I saw him a few hours ago.”“Emma has grown so much,” she said, but something in her voice sounded wrong.“Excuse me... are you okay?”“To be honest, no... I sound like a stalker, don't I? I'm sorry... I couldn't resist the urge... I came to town to do some research and see my doctor, and I was passing by... I know I shouldn't have done it.”She was confused. The woman spoke to her naturally, even confidently. However, it was clear from her expression and tone of voice that she wasn't quite right. She looked at her belly as she caressed it with one hand.“I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused Daniel too. He's been so good and kind, he cared about me... About us.
