Shannon’s POV

The mansion gardens appeared before us, a cool area of blooming flowers and a gentle breeze that carried whispers in the air. My Dad, a figure of both mystery and familiarity, strolled by my side.

Behind us, Jules lingered in silent observation, his wariness palpable. Bright sunlight filtered through the leaves as Dad began weaving tales of my childhood, stories only a parent could recount.

I listened carefully, finding comfort in the stories he told that brought a sort of connection. Trust, planted in my heart, began to germinate despite the skepticism that surrounded us with Mom, Robin, and the triplets.

“Shannon, I know they don’t trust me, but you’re the only one who believes in me,” my Dad confided, a hint of vulnerability in his words.

I know something’s not right.”He looked at me with a mix of sympathy and exasperation. “Shannon, I understand you’re scared after everything that’s happened.

I blinked, trying to adjust to the harsh fluorescent light.“Jules!” A familiar sounding voice called out and I frowned as her face came into view.“Shannon,” I sat up a little too quickly and groaned out in absolute pain.“Hey Jules,” she smiled at me.“Don’t move too much. You have not yet healed up.” She said, her sweet voice wrapping around me like a blanket.“You’ve been released?” it was supposed to be an observation but it came out as a question.

I’m so sorry for what you had to go through for my sake.* She said, hugging me.I winced at the pain and she quickly let go of me as if I were some fragile glass.“No,” I protested at the absence of her warmth.
