Our tension was broken by Katy barreling out of the office after me, her face flushed with excitement. Katy caught sight of him too and quickly waved. “She was amazing, Elijah! She really was!”Elijah’s lips curved into a small smile, but his eyes never left mine. “I knew she would be.”There was so
I stared at the screen, watching the final cut of the video Katy and I had worked so hard on. Thirty seconds. Just thirty seconds to sum up everything we were trying to achieve—balancing fashion and comfort, reaching a broader audience, and making Silvermoon relevant to everyday people again. My hea
“Okay,” I said, taking a deep breath. “We need to build on this momentum. Elijah wants me to present the video to the design team at the meeting tomorrow.”Katy’s eyes widened. “That’s a big deal.”“I know,” I replied, my voice steady but my insides churning with nerves. “I have to convince them tha

Returning from vacation felt surreal. The memory of Elijah’s touch, his lips close to mine, and the charged moment at the casino replayed in my mind, making me blush just thinking about it. The media hadn’t held back, either. Photos of our kiss spread like wildfire, sparking a whirlwind of specula
After a pause, he asked, “Are you happy?” Happy. The word sat heavily in my mind, especially after everything I’d just witnessed with Elijah and Olivia. Happiness seemed like a mirage, close enough to glimpse but always out of reach. “I have moments of happiness,” I admitted, choosing my words c

The announcement hit like a slap across the face. I’d been savoring a rare moment of peace with my morning coffee when I saw the headline: Silvermoon’s Muse Olivia to Launch Her Own High-End Fashion Line. The article was filled with praise for Olivia’s upcoming luxury designs, and she’d thrown
I exhaled, the tension in my shoulders easing. “She’s never going to stop, is she?” Elijah’s hand brushed lightly against mine—a subtle but reassuring gesture. “I’ll make sure she doesn’t get in your way.” His promise comforted me, but also made my heart skip a beat. Elijah was protective, a
