"Mr... Mr LaCroix? W-why are you here?" Amelie asked, pulling the towel around her body tighter. "Close...close your eyes." She ordered, trying to sound confident, but failing miserably.Zacharie looked at her weirdly. "Why should I?" He asked."I-it's inappropriate." She answered, her face a bright shade of pink."Is that so?""Yes. You shouldn't even be in my room? Why are you here?"Zacharie gestured with his hand towards the necklace he had dropped on her night stand. "That belongs to you right? I found it on the floor." He answered.Amelie glanced at the piece of jewelry and her eyes widened. She touched the space around her neck and realized that it had been missing. But upon seeing it resting peaceful on her drawer, she sighed in relief. "T-thank you, but couldn't you have given it to me later? It's not right for a man and woman who are not a couple to be in the same room.""Why?" Zacharie tilted his head to the side as he questioned. "It's not like we're doing anything inappro

The next day, birds peacefully chipped outside the window, announcing the wake of day as morning light gently basked into Amelie's room.All seemed peaceful, safe for her mind as she stared up at her ceiling, mind replaying the dream she had just had.A dream where she was married to Zacharie and they were living in a big house with the twins.A dream that had her heart beating faster and her chest feeling lighter.Sitting up from her bed, Amelie ran a hand through her hair and shook the dream out of her head. As she got off and got ready for the day, she convinced herself that the dream had only occurred because of what Michelle had said and how worried their behavior had left her feeling last night.She got into the shower and washed off the previous days residue, sighing out loudly at the relaxing feeling of water cascading down her skin.As soon as she stepped out, she got dressed, did her make up and brushed her hair, tying it up in a neat bun and throwing the necklace underneath

Amelie was stunned upon hearing what her daughter had just said."W-what are you talking about, Michelle?" She questioned. "This necklace would turn me into a vegetative state if continued to wear it?"Michelle wordlessly nodded her head.Amelie quickly scooted near her daughter. "How do you know this, Michelle?" She asked, looking into her daughter's eyes."I..." Michelle opened her mouth to explain the situation to her mother, but upon realizing that her brother's secret would also be exposed, she clammed her mouth shut and shook her head."Elle, please talk to mommy." Amelie coaxed, gently rubbing Michelle's head.The younger girl once again shook her head, making sure to keep her mouth shut so that she doesn't spill the beans."Michelle...""I can't!" She quickly interrupted her mother. "If I talk Miguel would hate me!" She said and tears suddenly began streaming down her cheek surprising Amelie.Amelie panicked and quickly tried to calm the child down. "Elle, please don't cry."M

Odette’s introduction left a heavy feeling in the air. It felt like the atmosphere had suddenly tensed up after her words. But of course she didn’t take notice of this, because she currently had one goal in mind.To establish her position to Amelie.However, she couldn’t tell if her tactics were working because the expression on her face remained neutral, much to both her and Zacharie’s dismay.But contrary to her expression, Amelie was wrapped up in her own thoughts at that moment.‘Odette Aubert, Zacharie’s fiancee. So this is her?’She thought as she stared blankly at Odette's outstretched hand, manicured fingernails glimmering under the hospital’s white light.As Amelie’s mind took in the word 'fiancee', she felt her mood suddenly drop. It was a very slight drop but did not go unnoticed by her.A rather brief emotion that Amelie quickly shooed away after scolding herself.'Don't be stupid. There's no need to feel upset over something like this.' She thought as she stretched out he

The very next day, as per how Amelie had planned, she wrapped up her work in time and rushed for the hotel. However, just as she got to the last floor of the hospital and stepped out of the elevator, a figure appeared in her path.Amelie abruptly stopped, thankfully not running into the middle aged woman.The woman had gray hair, dark skin and a mole just below her right eye. Her appearance was that of an old woman, but the look in her eyes told Amelie otherwise."Miss, Arnaud, am I correct?" She asked, eyes scanned Amelie from head to toe.She shifted back, regaining her composure as she asked. "And you are?"The elderly woman clicked her tongue, tsk'ing in disdain. "What a brazen little thing you are." She spat. "How dare you question and elder right after they had asked a question? Have you got no respect?""My apologies." Amelie forced out the apology. "I did not mean to sound disrespectful, but you haven't even told me your name, and as such, I was simply questioning how you were
