Serenity
The weight of the night still hung over me. I hadn’t expected it, but when I closed the door behind me earlier, I felt like I was leaving more than just the penthouse behind. It felt like I was leaving pieces of myself I had buried for so long—pieces I wasn’t sure I wanted to face again. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t push the memories, the emotions, the fear away.
Luca’s apology still echoed in my head, though I wasn’t sure if I believed it. I wasn’t sure I could believe anything he said anymore. Not when the walls between us seemed to grow taller, thicker, every day.
The silence between us had become suffocating. It wasn’t angry or cold anymore; it was just... uncertain. Like we were both waiting for something, but neither of us knew exactly what.
