Emma's POV

I woke up to the darkness of the night, my mind still foggy from sleep. But I knew I had to get up. I had promised Gabe we would talk, and I couldn't avoid it any longer.

I tossed off the covers and swung my legs over the side of the bed, my feet dangling in the air. The clock on my nightstand read 2:47 AM.

With a sigh, I stood up and padded out of the bedroom, my bare feet making barely a sound on the cold floor.

The house was quiet, the only sound the creaking of the old wooden floorboards beneath my feet.

I made my way to the living room, where I knew Gabe would be waiting for me.

As I entered the room, I saw him sitting on the couch, his eyes fixed on me in the dim light.

The aroma of sweet donuts wafted from the kitchen, making my stomach growl with hunger.First things first, I had to check on April. I padded into the kitchen, finding her in her usual spot, surrounded by flour and sugar.April's hands moved deftly, piping icing onto a freshly baked donut. Her phone lay beside her, screen glowing with Duolingo's colorful interface. She was learning French, and her dedication impressed me.But what caught my attention was the knitting needles in her free hand, clicking away as she created a vibrant scarf.

And what was he really after?Luca fidgeted, avoiding eye contact. "Gabe, please excuse me. I need to...get a bottle of water." He stuttered. My instincts screamed at me to follow him.
