Ashley didn't want to face Lucas again, so she decided to leave the resort and head back to her hometown, where her mother lived. She needed some time to heal and process her emotions. However, she couldn't stay away for long, as she had to return to work.Meanwhile, Nicole went back to their apartment, feeling terrible about what had happened to her sister. She sat down on the couch, lost in thought, wondering how something as supposedly beautiful as love could cause so much pain.As she sat there, Nicole couldn't help but think about their mother's past. She had fallen deeply in love with their father, but it had ended in heartbreak. Their mother had been left alone to raise them, and the experience had left her scarred.Nicole's thoughts reinforced her own decision to avoid love at all costs. She had always believed that love was a myth, a fantasy that people created to make themselves feel better. But in reality, it was just a recipe for disaster.Looking at her sister's experienc

Nicole's fingers flew across the keyboard as she typed out Mr. Harrison's schedule for the day. She was so focused on her work that she didn't even notice her boss walking into the office until he cleared his throat to get her attention. She immediately stood up, a bright smile spreading across her face as she greeted him from behind her desk."Good morning, Mr. Harrison," she said, her voice cheerful and professional.Mr. Harrison stopped in front of her desk, his eyes scanning her face as if searching for something. "Ah, Nicole, how was your vacation?" he asked, his voice warm and friendly.Nicole's smile faltered for a moment, and she felt a faint blush rise to her cheeks. "It was great, thank you for asking," she replied, trying to sound nonchalant.Mr. Harrison's eyes twinkled with amusement. "Next time, when you plan to take more than two days off, please inform me in advance," he said, his voice firm but gentle. "You know how much I miss you when you're not here."Nicole's blus

Gage pushed open the heavy doors of the Eclipse club, the pulsating music and dim lighting enveloping him like a warm hug. He scanned the crowded room, his eyes adjusting to the darkness, and spotted Lucas sitting in their usual spot, a plush velvet couch tucked away in a quiet corner.Lucas was nursing a drink, his eyes fixed on the glass as he swirled the amber liquid around. Gage's gaze narrowed slightly as he watched his friend, sensing that something was off.He made his way through the crowd, nodding to familiar faces and exchanging brief greetings with acquaintances. As he approached the couch, Lucas looked up, his eyes locking onto Gage's.Gage slid onto the couch beside Lucas, his movements fluid and deliberate. "What's going on?" he asked, his voice low and even, as he signaled to the waitress for a drink.Lucas raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Just enjoying a drink," he replied, his tone light, but his eyes betraying a hint of tension.Gage's gaze

Just as Nicole and Gage were basking in the warmth of their intimate moment, Gage's phone suddenly rang, shrill and insistent. He hesitated for a moment, his eyes darting towards the phone, before he quickly grabbed it and got out of bed."I'll take this outside," he muttered, his voice low and apologetic, as he swiftly exited the room, leaving Nicole alone.Nicole watched him go, a faint furrow creasing her brow. She wondered who could be calling Gage at such an early hour, but she didn't have time to dwell on it. She had to get ready for work, and she couldn't afford to be late.With a quiet sigh, Nicole reached for her underwear, which was lying on the floor. She slipped on her panties and bra, the soft fabric gliding smoothly against her skin. Once she was dressed in her undergarments,She planted her feet firmly on the ground, feeling the soft carpet beneath her toes. She stood up, stretching her arms above her head, and arched her back, giving a good yawn to signal the start of

Gage walked into the cozy restaurant, scanning the room for his date. He spotted a woman sitting at a table by the window, sipping a glass of water and gazing out at the view. She looked stunning in a red dress, her long hair cascading down her back.As he approached her, she turned and smiled, her eyes sparkling with warmth. "Gage, hi," she said, standing up to greet him.Gage was taken aback, unsure of how she knew him. But before he could ask, she politely introduced herself."I'm Liz Brown, by the way. We've never actually met, but I've heard a lot about you."Gage's confusion cleared, and he smiled, feeling a spark of attraction. "Nice to meet you, Liz, what you do by the way?" he said, taking her hand and helping her sit back down.“I’m a Ceramicist.” She replied.As they perused the menu and ordered their food, "Oh! That’s..That’s great,”Gage couldn't help but notice the book peeking out of Liz's purse. “Um..You're a reader, I see," he said, nodding towards the book.Liz's fac
