Night’s Embrace
Morning light streamed softly into the room, illuminating Kayla, weary but cradled in Breydan’s arms. Despite the distance that often defined their waking moments, the night had drawn them together, as if instinctively seeking solace in each other’s presence. It was a poignant reminder of their bond—profound yet fraught with tension. Kayla lingered there, her thoughts tangled in the complexity of their connection. Bound by shared history and raw emotion, they teetered on the edge of inevitable change.

Rushed Awakening
Kayla untangled herself from Breydan with an urgency that left no room for hesitation. Her movements were quick, deliberate, and decisive. The abrupt motion stirred him from sleep, his voice soft and laced with confusion as he called out to her. She didn’t pause, didn’t glance back. Her pulse quickened as she slipped into the bathroom, closing the door firmly behind her. The shower roared to life, its steady rhythm muffling the world beyond—a fleeting sanctuary as she braced herself for the day that lay ahead.
