Curious and restless, I swung my legs over the side of the bed and managed to stand. Slowly, I made my way to the door and stepped outside. The scene before me took my breath away. The small cottage was surrounded by sprawling green fields. The air was fresh and carried the faint scent of wildflowers. Trees lined the horizon, and a nearby brook glistened under the golden sunlight.In the garden a few yards away, I spotted Mrs. Robert tending to her plants. She was bent over a patch of soil, carefully weeding with a small tool in hand."Mrs. Robert," I called out, my voice a little stronger than before.She straightened and turned to me with a warm smile. "Oh, how are you, dear? You’re awake.I feel a bit better now, I said as I walked toward her. Let me help you.She waved her hand dismissively. "No, no, not at all. You’re not well enough to be doing this kind of work.But I insisted, reaching for the small gardening fork she was holding. Please. I need to do something to keep my min

Minho,one of them said firmly. “You’ll need to come with us to the station for questioning.Minho stood there, frozen for a moment. His eyes found mine, and for a fleeting moment, I saw something in them,pain, regret, and maybe even love.Luna,” he said, his voice soft and pleading. I would never hurt you. Please believe me.I swallowed hard, my throat tightening as emotions welled up inside me. I wanted to say something, anything, but the words wouldn’t come. I just stood there, torn between pity and doubt, as the officers led him away.You'll have to join us at the station as well.one of the officers said to Mom and me.Mom turned to me. “Luna, are you coming?”“I’ll join you later,” I said quietly, holding back the tears that threatened to spill.Mom gave me a long, searching look before nodding and following the officers out. I watched as their vehicle disappeared down the street, leaving me standing there, my heart heavy with unanswered questions and conflicted emotions.“Luna, I

I sank onto the couch, staring at the half-packed boxes around me. Questions swirled in my mind. What was Mom hiding? Why were we leaving? Was this dinner invitation just a distraction?I knew not honoring this invitation would not only disappoint Mom but also Mrs. Laura. She was like family, always looking out for us. So, I pulled myself together, changed into something simple yet elegant, and stepped out into the cold. Crossing to her house, I was immediately struck by the festive beauty of her home. Strings of lights twinkled like stars, illuminating the snow-dusted lawn, and the smell of delicious food wafted through the air. I could hear the sounds of chatter and laughter from inside the house.As I entered, I saw a huge, beautifully set dining table that stretched nearly the length of the room. It was adorned with candles, holly leaves, and little golden ornaments. Families were gathered, sharing smiles and stories.Luna, you’re just in time! called the little boy who had come

Oh, now I remember, I said, surprised.Sorry I didn’t call sooner,there are lots of things on my plate. Do you still live in Everston City?"Yes, of course," I replied, still puzzled but intrigued.That’s great. I’d like you to meet me at Aurora Innovations, a corporate tech firm. I’ll send you the address in a few minutes.Alright, thanks a million, I said, barely containing my excitement.As soon as the call ended, I sat there stunned for a moment before a grin spread across my face. Just then, Mom walked into the living room."Darling, you look so excited ," she said, her voice full of curiosity.Mom, you won't believe it! I exclaimed, practically bouncing in my seat.Oh, if it’s about you, I’ll believe anything, she teased."Mom, guess.Mom chuckled, tapping her chin in thought. "Luna, I don’t know. I’m not good at guessing.Just tryI could spend all day and still not figure it out," she said, laughing. "Please, just tell me.I was just called for an interview at Aurora Innovati

My breath quickened as everything connected. That was her. The girl I bumped into while she was riding her bicycle. Her silence, her searching look, she recognized me.My chest tightened. My skin felt clammy. My heart pounded against my ribs, the room spinning.I bolted upright with a sharp scream. "No!"The door flew open, and Mom rushed in, her face full of panic. Luna! What’s wrong? Are you okay?"I sat there, panting heavily, drenched in sweat. My wide eyes met hers.I remembered, Mom, I whispered, my voice shaking. "It’s her. I saw her.Who, Luna? What are you talking about?I couldn’t bring myself to say it again, my mind spiraling as the realization settled deep into my bones.It's just a nightmare, darling," Mom said, gently rubbing my back. Try to go back to sleep.No, Mom, I can’t," I replied, my voice trembling. I’m scared.It’s nothing but a bad dream, she reassured me, her calm voice soothing.I kept staring at her, desperate for comfort. "Please, Mom, can you sleep here
