Vespera realized just how foolish and wrong her decision was as she stood at the wedding venue.She’d impulsively agreed to attend, stuttering her acceptance without thinking it through. She hadn’t expected Quinn to actually send her an invitation. She wasn’t sure what Quinn’s intentions were. Did he really not know she liked him, or was he just oblivious enough to invite her to his wedding?Now, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, Vespera felt completely out of place. She didn’t know a single soul, and every time someone asked how she knew the bride and groom, she struggled to answer. Friends? That felt too close. Childhood friends? Too personal. Neighbors? Too distant. Everything about this felt wrong, and Vespera wished she could just vanish.When Quinn came over to greet her, Vespera’s awkwardness reached its peak. They hadn’t seen each other in years—not even a phone call or email between them. The last time they spoke was when she had nervously called him, asking if he was really ge

Alaric looked up at Vespera, his heavy breathing filling the room.Vespera stared at him, puzzled. "What... what are you doing?""Don't like Quinn anymore. He's not good enough for you!" Alaric blurted out.Vespera blinked, taken aback by the urgency in Alaric's eyes. Almost instinctively, she nodded. "Okay."Alaric froze for a moment, then broke into a genuine smile – a rare sight despite his usually cheerful demeanor. He was starting to understand why this meant so much to him. Maybe Lysander was right; he had unknowingly drifted away from Elowen. The person who occupied his thoughts now seemed to be Vespera.He couldn't pinpoint exactly when it had happened. Perhaps it was when he received that cheap but heartfelt gift from her, or the numerous times she had saved him from awkward situations at parties. Whatever it was, he realized he hadn't thought about Elowen in ages. Even the knowledge of Elowen's feelings for Heath didn't hurt as much anymore. It was as if Vespera had become t

After the film festival awards ceremony, Aurora was attending the dinner party with Cheryl and Zane, who had just won Best Actor and Best Actress. Everyone seemed eager to chat with the newly crowned stars.Zane had finally managed to escape the clutches of a B-list celebrity and was scrolling through his phone in a quiet corner when he got a call from Vespera. Upon hearing that she was sick, he immediately stood up and made his way towards Aurora.Alaric was deep in conversation with Aurora about their upcoming work plans when Elowen sidled up to them. "Alaric, I have a friend I'd love to introduce you to," she said, batting her eyelashes.Before Alaric could respond, Zane rushed over and grabbed his arm. "Bro, Vespera's in the hospital! She's sick!"Hearing this, Alaric forgot all about Elowen and quickly left the party, heading straight for the hospital.He glanced at Aurora. "Aren't you coming? Vespera's really ill!"Only then did Aurora realize Zane wasn't just messing around. Sh

An officer approached Alaric, tapping him on the shoulder. "Excuse me, sir. Who are you?"Alaric froze. Why were the cop here?Before he could answer, the officer continued, "Are you a student at this university?"Alaric shook his head. The officer frowned. "We received a report of a suspicious person hanging around the women's dorm. You'll need to come with us.""Me? Suspicious? No, I'm not—I was just—" Alaric stammered, trying to explain."Save it for the station," the officer cut him off, leading Alaric downstairs and into the patrol car.Vespera watched from her window as Alaric was taken away. She quickly tidied up her room and crawled into bed, feeling drained from her stomach flu. All she wanted now was to rest.At the police station, the officers asked Alaric to explain himself. He sat there, utterly mortified.How could he possibly explain this? That he came to see his girlfriend, and she called the cops on him because she was mad? Talk about losing dignity.Alaric looked at

Alaric got out of the car, grabbed Vespera's suitcase, and reached for her hand. Vespera subtly avoided his touch. Alaric's eyes darkened slightly, but he said nothing as he carried her luggage upstairs. Vespera's apartment was right below Cheryl's. Alaric brought the suitcase inside.The apartment was beautifully furnished and spacious. To accommodate Vespera's role as a designer, they had even set up a studio larger than her bedroom. It had two rows of clothing racks and an easel – more than enough for a budding designer like her.Vespera wandered around her new place, her mood lifting with each perfect detail she discovered. When she returned to the living room, she found Alaric still sitting on the couch. "You're still here?" she asked bluntly.Alaric was taken aback. Her words stung – she clearly didn't want him around. But what could he do? Chasing a girl meant having thick skin, right? He should learn from Heath and how persistent he'd been in pursuing Aurora. It had worked out
