Broken Truths

Katy's Point of View"You have a child? How's that even possible?" I echoed, wondering to myself. In return, Jackson passed me a dubious look."Is that supposed to be an insult or a question?" He asked. I knew he was angry and when I saw him walking out of the garden in terrifying steps, I knew I had to follow him. He looked like a man who would baby his head against the wall until there was nothing left of it anymore.Carefully, I decided I would pick my words. He didn't beg for my companion, but I was determined to give it anyway. I heard Mrs Smith right and clear when she'd spoken earlier. And she was right too. There was every possibility that we would do a wonderful job together as a team,&

Cracks Beneath the Surface

Carson's Point of View Morris wouldn't stop pacing. No matter how many times he'd eventually bumped his little toe into the stool."You know, if the idea is to keep her here for questioning, maybe you should try being a little bit calm so that you can keep her calm enough to answer all our questions.""That's a very crazy ideology.""Never mind the ideology, you are sure you want to handle this? Like, you're sure you want to be here while we ask some questions. You can pass, I'll be here. I'll do the questioning." I suggested and he passed me a look."I'm a spy, Carson. I know how to fake emotions. That's kinda one of the reasons out of  many I got selected to join the agency.

Revelations and Regrets

Carson's Point of View.Charmaine entered the office, her hands wrapped around herself, her face was stained with tears and her nose was pink. Morris stood immediately, momentarily forgetting his own problem. She offered him a sad smile and shook her head."Don't worry. If you're worried that tears will fall, you have nothing to worry about. I think I've cried enough for one day." She carefully sat down in the chair that was behind her."Are you alright?""I'm okay. Everyone says that, don't they?" She asked, her face still holding on to that smile that I was sure hurt like hell. "Even when they are not.""You're scaring me. Say something. Has something happened?&nbs

Love in the Shadows

Katy's Point of ViewMy eyes were shut but I wanted to look. I hated blindfolds. I had this strange feeling that I might be nudged off a cliff. Maybe it was the tedious training I had partaken in for months, but leaving my free will to someone like that bugged me. Was I being too much? I didn't think so."We have been walking for hours now, you're sure we are headed to an area in this house? You're making me all nervous with all this walking." I complained and he chuckled softly. He didn't stop walking though."Most girls are delighted with the idea of being blindfolded. It usually comes with a surprise. You know that, don't you?" He sounded amused."Well, I&

Whispers Under

Katy's Point of View I smiled and nodded. I knew it wasn't what he wanted to say. But I was safe. I was saved from lying to him again and again. Saved from my own deception against the protests of my heart."I would love nothing more. It's not quite dark yet." I pointed out and he wrapped his hands around me, bringing us both down safely."Well... We'll have that crazy talk until we can see the moon. If that's okay with you.""I'd love nothing more," I said, trying not to sound as giddy as I felt. I was also trying not to bury my face on his shoulder. I loved his lavender perfume."Tell me about your family." He said after a long comfortable silence. Um... Did&nb

Deal of the Century

Morris's Point of View Everything was blank. After the rough questioning session I'd had with Adelaide, everything seemed a little bit blurry. I made my way outside, a can of water in my hand. I had stayed inside for too long. And staying in here just reminded me more that my cousin was out there somewhere with Josie. And I was here, holding on to the regret I got hard and strong. I wished that I had been brave enough to just tell her how I felt instead of making her feel uncomfortable through my questioning. I knew she had a twin sister. I knew her twin sister was very daring, so why would I think it was her? I wished I could erase the last five hours. I wish

A Taste of Apology

Morris's POVShe was there. Standing at her kitchen, her back to me, her have moving as she stirred stew. It smelt lovely in there. My heart thudded though. And my stomach grumbled loudly in fear. I wasn't sure I had ever felt that way since my first mission as a spy."Hey." I said and she whirled around, her hand on her chest. Oh, look, I'd startled her. I reprimanded myself mentally, tempted to slap myself silly."For crying out loud, you startled me, Morris." She sounded... Confused. Maybe, confused to see me there."I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I just... Well, nevermind..." I said and she stared at me closely, then went back to her stew. She was mad. She was definitely mad at me. And who could blame her. I had called her a liar and had let my anxiety and curiosity get the best of me. I hadn't intended to but I still did. How on Earth was I supposed to fix this?"If you're looking for Josie, she's not here." I thought

Thin Line Between Secrets and Lies

Katy's POVI didn't want the evening to end, but it was late and to be honest, my bag was beginning to ache from laying down at the ground for a long time. It had been six hours."You're okay?" Carson asked as he neatly folded the blanket."Yes. I'm fine. After a night here with you, why wouldn't I be? It's just that... Well, like anyone in the right state if mind, after a beautiful date like this, I really don't want it to end. If turning the clock backwards was a thing, I would do just that." I said and immediately felt my cheeks redden. "I couldn't believe I just said that to you.""Hey, we've been here all evening talking about our lives honestly, you think they tops the list?" He asked with laughing voice. I chuckled."Well, not exactly.""Glad you think so.""Do you think we can continue like this? Like, do you think we could really pull this off? I know it sounds crazy of me to think that but I'm curious and I

Confessions, Choices, and Crossroads

Katy's POV"Okay, so... What is it you wanted to ask about?" I asked and he inhaled deeply."Look, I don't... I don't want it to seem like I don't have any respect for things that I care about or is supposed to be committed to but I want to talk to someone. I hope you don't judge me for choosing you to talk to. You're not going to do that, are you?""No, no I won't. Morris everyone has problems and if you're willing to share it with me then I feel honored. I like that you're talking to me about it. I like to think that we're friends. And this is what friends do, right?""Right, sure.""Then, tell me already. What's the problem?""Carson is not my boss." He said. Wait. What did they even mean? Did this mean there was someone else Carson was working for? You know what? On a second thought, I was actually happy that Adelaide was inside the bathroom. She could see for herself how unready we were."Okay, so what is he to y

A Chance at Redemption

Jackson's POVWhen I heard her come into the room, I made no move to look at her. I wasn't sure if it was anger I felt or just uncertainty that I would hate her. I didn't want to hate her. During the hard days, it was the hope that I could love her that kept me going and I was going to when I quit, that is if she hadn't moved on, that kept me going. But now? I wasn't so sure."It was you that left the note to come out here and talk, was it not?" She asked quietly. From her voice, I could tell she was cold. She sounded like she had been shuddering. I finally turned around. If she was cold, then she had to be sick. Because she was wearing a very thick coat, there was no way she was cold in that. I nodded. Was I supposed to be nervous that she showed? Or was I supposed to be happy? I had no idea."I wrote the note. I'm happy that you showed up. I was afraid you wouldn't show. With everything that has happened—""You don't know me anymo
