A HEART SEEKS REST

Kendall had a difficult time ascending the stairs to Alicia's apartment. Each following move became heavier, as though the built-up exhaustion and emotional stress from the past days had finally caught up with her. When she reached Alicia's door, she stopped momentarily, unsure with her hand hovering near the doorknob. What if she lacked the energy to clarify everything that had occurred?Nevertheless, the moment Alicia opened the door, all of those worries disappeared. Alicia's demeanor softened as she observed Kendall's weary eyes, pale complexion, and the visible weight she seemed to bear in her own body.Alicia whispered Kendall's name, expressing concern in her voice. “Come in.”Kendall didn't require a second invitation. Upon entering, once the door shut behind her, she lost her determination. Her knees buckled, and she collapsed into Alicia's arms before she could say anything, her body trembling with fatigue.Alicia softly guided her to the sofa, providing support. "Take a sea

SEEKING REDEMPTION

Jason was seated at his desk, tapping his fingers on the smooth wood, his thoughts elsewhere from the papers in front of him. His thoughts became fixated on Kendall as the buzz of the office faded into the background. He had been concentrating on managing every part of their life so much that he hadn't noticed the extent of pressure he was placing on her. He was plagued by guilt, disturbing his usually calm demeanor. Kendall had looked so tired lately, the strain of pretending wearing her down. In reality, it was also causing him fatigue.A reminder of the meeting he had to attend caused his phone to vibrate on the desk. At this moment, there was nothing more pressing than reconciling with Kendall. He glanced toward Jane, his secretary, who was sorting through some documents at her own desk nearby. Her usual calm presence made her the obvious person to ask for advice, even though Jason wasn’t one to share personal matters. Still, he needed some perspective.“Jane,” Jason started, his

AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR

Worried, Jason called Kendall’s phone for the second time. His pulse quickened as the line rang. He listened eagerly, anticipating her voice, longing for a reply. However, when the ringing ceased, Kendall was not the one who picked up."Hello?" Alicia's voice carried a sharp and distant tone as it echoed through the phone.Jason hesitated, surprised to hear her instead of Kendall. His grip tightened around the phone. “Alicia? Where’s Kendall?”“She’s here,” Alicia responded curtly. “She’s exhausted, Jason. She’s asleep now.”He felt relieved momentarily, but it quickly passed. He detected the hint of blame in Alicia's tone, the underlying accusation in her speech. "Thank God," he murmured. "I’ve been trying to reach her. Can I come see her?"There was a lengthy silence at the other end of the phone, filled with silent criticism. "I believe that is not a wise decision at this moment," Alicia eventually responded, her tone defensive, nearly frosty. "She’s been through enough."Jason's j

A QUIET APOLOGY

Jason sat in silence, the seconds dragging into minutes as he waited for Kendall to wake up. The house felt too still, too quiet. He moved around in his chair, looking at the little bag containing the necklace and chocolates placed next to him. The gifts appeared insufficient as reparation for his actions, but they were the only thing he could present at that time.He couldn't stop his thoughts from repeatedly going back to the recent events: the conflict with Kendall, Catherine's visit, and the increasing tension in their relationship. He believed he was safeguarding her, but he understood he had actually been safeguarding his own reputation and authority. By doing that, he had gone too far with her.Alicia hadn't spoken much since she walked out on him in the living room, but her silence said a lot. She was currently Kendall's defender, keeping watch over the man who had unintentionally harmed her friend. Jason couldn’t blame her for that. He knew he deserved her coldness.Jason per

IN HIS ARMS

Kendall could feel her heart pounding as Jason's arms enveloped her with their familiar weight. The world outside of them disappeared momentarily—the falsehoods, uncertainties, and heavy weight of feigning. Everything disappeared as she allowed herself to merge into the comfort of his hug. He didn't grip her strongly; it was a gentle, almost unsure hold, as if he feared she would escape suddenly.And maybe she would have, had this been a day earlier. However, at that moment, all she sensed was the solace of his being as she pressed her face into his chest. The stress that had been accumulating in her chest for weeks, or possibly even months, started to dissipate. The constant pulse of his heart on her cheek brought back memories of a time when things were calm, before the chaos began.Jason gently ran his fingers through her hair, moving slowly and delicately, as though he feared that any sudden movement would break this delicate moment. Kendall refused to release her grip. She was av

THE SILENT CONNECTION

Jason tightened his arms around Kendall, his voice gentle as he murmured again, “Is it alright if we head home now?”Kendall nodded, her face still nestled against his chest. "Indeed," she murmured, her voice calm yet gentle.Gradually, they separated, with Jason holding her hand as they exited Alicia's room and entered the cozy living room. Alicia glanced up from the couch, her usual confident expression replaced by a softened look of concern. She rose to her feet, her gaze scanning Kendall’s face with a careful eye.“Alicia,” Kendall began, her fingers still intertwined with Jason’s. “Thank you. For everything. For being present when I needed a listening ear. She was not very talkative, but her gratitude was genuine and did not require any enhancements.When Alicia reached for Kendall's hand with a gentle touch, her expression became more gentle. "No need to thank you; I'm glad you came." She looked at Jason, her gaze turning a bit more serious. “Make sure she’s alright, Jason.”Ken

SMALL GESTURES, GROWING AFFECTION

The morning sun softly glinted through the curtains as Kendall opened her eyes and felt a small sense of calm that had been lacking for some time. Jason's thoughtful gesture the previous evening was recalled by the tray beside her bed, which still had a glass of fresh juice and carefully arranged fruits. Upon waking, she discovered him by her side, smiling softly and inquiring about her sleep. While descending the stairs, she pondered about the additional surprises the day might hold.Jason was already getting breakfast ready in the kitchen. He glanced upwards when Kendall walked in, offering her a gentle, affectionate smile. He greeted with a friendly and welcoming tone, saying "Good morning.""Morning," she responded, surprised to see him cooking. “You… cook?”He chuckled, lifting a brow. “Surprised? I might not be a chef, but I can manage the basics. Thought I’d give our cook a break.” He motioned to the pan. “Hope you like omelets.”Kendall nodded, moving closer. “It smells great.

THE SHIFT IN THE AIR

Kendall sat at one end of the couch, covered by a blanket, bathed in the warm light of the evening filling the living room. Instead of focusing on the show, she occasionally looked over at Jason, who was sitting nearby with a book in hand. A sense of tranquility existed between them, a silence free from the typical stress. Tonight felt different.Jason glanced away from his book and met her eyes, giving a slight smile. He whispered, "You appear lost in contemplation."Kendall glanced downward, a timid smirk gracing her mouth. “I guess… I am.”He set his book aside, shifting slightly so that he could face her. “Something you want to talk about?” His voice was filled with a mild sense of interest and a comforting heat that made her feel comfortable enough to share.Kendall paused, toying with the blanket's edge with her fingers. Talking about her fears or doubts wasn’t something she typically did because it wasn't her natural inclination. However, tonight, as Jason gazed at her with sin

THE SLOW REALIZATION

Shortly after, they walked out together and felt the refreshing evening breeze on their faces. While walking in a peaceful silence with their steps syncing naturally, Kendall unexpectedly felt a comforting sense of tranquility. Looking at Jason, she observed his gaze becoming gentler as he gazed ahead at the path."Have you ever done this?" she inquired, breaking the silence. “Just… take a break, step outside for a bit?”Jason chuckled, shoving his hands in his pockets. “Honestly? Not nearly as often as I should. I’ve been so focused on work and… everything else, I guess I forgot how grounding something as simple as this can feel.”With a slight smile on her lips, she nodded. "I believe it's simple to overlook." She stopped briefly to inhale the fragrance of recently dropped leaves. "It seems like there is constant noise surrounding us."Jason's facial expression became gentler as he briefly looked inside himself. He whispered, "You are correct.” “But right now, this feels… different.

LEARNING TO TRUST

As they pulled out onto the road, Jason kept glancing her way, a faint smile playing at his lips. After a short while, he eventually ended the quietness, his voice friendly but playful. "I have a small surprise waiting for you once we arrive at our house." Kendall's eyes grew wider, a combination of curiosity and enthusiasm shining through her face. "A surprise? You know I don’t like suspense, Jason.""He told me to just believe him," with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "The wait will be worth it." She settled back in her seat, trying to contain her anticipation but finding herself stealing glances at him, wondering what he had planned. The drive felt longer than usual, every turn and stop heightening her curiosity. After reaching the house, Jason got out and swiftly went to her side, opening her door with a smile. "He told her to shut her eyes, speaking in a gentle yet authoritative tone." Raising one eyebrow, she couldn't resist the strong intrigue. Breathing in, she closed he
