She will come back! 

Adam pov

I could feel her eyes on me as she walked away, the weight of her gaze pressing against the fabric of the night. It was as if she were pulling me back, even if she didn’t know it. There was no escape from this connection—not for me, and not for her. The ties that bound us were old, ancient in their persistence. We had crossed paths a thousand times before, and we would again.

As I reached the street my steps slowed. I didn’t want to leave—not yet. Not when I was so close. The silence between us, even after I had walked away, hung heavy in the air. I could still feel the tension we had shared, the unspoken understanding that passed between us. I had seen it in her eyes, the flicker of recognition. She didn’t know yet, but I could feel it. She was beginning to sense something.

I stopped for a moment, just outside of view, and leaned against the stone pillar of the entrance. The moonlight washed over me, but it was her face, the way her lips parted in that fleeting moment of confusion, that stayed with me. Her reactions were subtle, but I wasn’t blind. I had waited too long to ignore the small things—the way her breath hitched when I spoke, the slight way her fingers trembled when she glanced at her phone. These were the signs, the signals that told me she wasn’t as indifferent as she wanted to be.

The hum of her presence, like the soft ripple of water, lingered in my mind. I had never been so aware of someone in my life. I could hear her thoughts without her speaking them, and feel her doubts without her saying a word. It was the bond we had always shared. Tarini didn’t know it yet, but I was right there with her. I always had been.

I turned, my eyes seeking her out once more, though I knew better than to approach her again tonight. The time for confrontation wasn’t now. She needed space, even if she couldn’t understand why. She needed time to figure out the pieces that didn’t fit, the ones that had been hidden from her all these years. And when she finally did—when she finally understood—she would come to me.

But for now, I had to let her go.

I could see them through the window now, the two of them—Tarini and Stacey—talking in the car, the silence between them louder than their words. Stacey was asking questions, no doubt, her curiosity getting the best of her as she tried to make sense of the evening. But I knew, deep down, that it wasn’t Stacey who occupied Tarini’s thoughts. It wasn’t the distraction of her friend that lingered in her mind. No, it was me. It always had been.

I watched them until the car pulled away. I felt the shift in the air as the vehicle disappeared down the road, the tension easing as she distanced herself from me. But I knew this was far from over. It had only just begun.

I couldn’t help but think of the way she looked at me, those green eyes full of confusion and something else—something that flickered like a flame, brief but undeniably there. She wasn’t fooling anyone, least of all me.

And then, as if the universe itself had aligned, I felt it—the familiar presence that I had been waiting for. The pull of her. She hadn’t gone far. I could feel her even now, as though our fates were tied together by an invisible thread. Tarini was still near, lingering in the dark corners of my thoughts, and despite myself, I wanted to turn back and see her again. To hear her voice once more. To see how she would react to me, now that she had felt it too—the pull.

But I resisted. This was a delicate game we were playing. For now, I would wait. I always had.

Turning down a side street, I let my senses sharpen. I could hear the hum of the city, the rustling of leaves in the wind, and the soft murmur of voices from a nearby café. But all of it felt distant, muted, compared to the sound of her heartbeat, the rhythm of her life that seemed to beat in time with my own. It was all I needed to know she was out there—alive, unaware, but getting closer.

And with every passing moment, I knew that she would come to me. Whether it was tonight or tomorrow, it didn’t matter. She would remember. She had to.

I was ready.

And when that time came, I would be waiting.

Always.

I straightened up, forcing myself to appear calm. “I...yes. Thank you, Professor Valerian.” His gaze didn’t waver, and I couldn’t help feeling like he could see through every layer I’d built around myself. "Who is he?" His voice sends a thrilling vibration to my body. "He is... a mistake!" I said with a little guilt. I know he won't be involved in anyone's business yet, but his question makes the whole situation weird. "Well, your mistake ran away after hitting th
