After Henry and Diana had freshened up in the morning, ready to go to the dining for breakfast, Diana perched on the edge of the luxurious four-poster bed, watching him as he pulled out a suit from his closet. "Are you going somewhere today?" She asked, since he had not mentioned any meeting to him and it was Sunday. Henry turned to her, a rare, almost tender smile playing on his lips. "Diana, my dear," he began, his voice smooth and authoritative, "I have a surprise for you." Diana's eyes…-

As Amy saw a movie on her laptop, her eyes kept moving from the screen to her phone, wondering why Lucas had not responded to her texts or called since they last spoke. Was he mad at her? She mused, wondering why he would be mad when she had only been joking to see his reaction, and he had not even shown the least interest. She had waited for his call in the morning and when he didn't call, she had called but he had not even bothered taking her call or returning it all day. After thinking for a…

Jade was in a much better mood by the time her cab pulled up in front of Tom's gate later in the evening. She walked down the distance from the gate to the house, and as she drew closer, her heart skipped a beat, when she saw one of Harry's cars parked in front of the house. What was he doing here? Was he here to see Tom? She mused. Deciding not to let his presence affect her mood or composure, she headed inside, prepared to go directly to her bedroom so she wouldn't cross paths with him. It…

Harry woke up that morning with a sense of purpose. He knew he had to make things right with Jade and he had to do it immediately. Ordinarily he would have called her first so they could talk over the phone, but he figured that going over to see her was best. That way he could apologize in person and they could discuss how to work on everything else. After a quick shower, he dressed up, picked up the engagement ring box and headed out to buy a bouquet of her favorite flowers— sunflowers. They…

It was barely five in the morning when Jade roused from her restless sleep the next day. She woke up with a heavy heart and a deep feeling of emptiness. She missed Harry. She missed him very much and she missed waking up next to him. Although she was thankful for the support she was receiving from her family and friends, they weren't the ones she wanted. It wasn't their support she desperately needed. It was Harry's, and it hurt that the one person she needed most wasn't willing to be there for her.…

Lucas woke up to the gentle light of the morning sun streaming through his curtains. He was feeling more rested than he had in a long time, and his eyes adjusted to the light, his first thought was of Amy. The conversation with Amy had left him with a warm feeling, and he found himself looking forward to their next chat. He grabbed his phone from the nightstand and unlocked it, eager to see if she had sent him the pictures she promised. A grin spread across his face as he saw her name at the top of…

As the day turned into night, Harry found himself sitting on the couch, a statue sculpted from worry. If the misunderstanding hadn't happened yesterday, by now they would have been busy celebrating their engagement, Harry thought as he stared at his phone. He wanted to call Jade, to reassure her that they would get through this. And he yearned to hear her voice, the melody that had become the soundtrack of his life, but logic reminded him that space was needed to prevent further damage to their…

The flight back to Ludus was uneventful, but it felt like the longest flight of Harry's life. Every time he glanced at Jade, she was either looking out the window or had her eyes closed, her face set in an expression of quiet determination. When they finally landed and disembarked, Harry felt a sense of relief mixed with sadness since this wasn't the way he had envisioned their return to be. They collected their bags and as they made their way to the exit, Jade sighted Tom and Bryan, and she couldn't…

The soft glow of the television cast flickering shadows across the room as Tyler and Lucas sat side by side, the sound of their favorite series, House MD, filling the comfortable silence. Tyler, with his legs stretched out on the ottoman, glanced sideways at Lucas, and his lips curled into an amused smile when he noticed that Lucas was once again glancing at the wall clock and his phone as though he was waiting for something. Or rather someone. "Are you going somewhere?" Tyler asked with mock…

Lucy eyes fluttered open to the soft morning light filtering through the bedroom curtains. She smiled when she felt Tom's arms wrapped around her waist and she turned to look at him. She smiled at the peaceful expression on his face, his tousled hair and the gentle rise and fall of his chest. She felt a surge of affection for him and decided that this was the perfect moment to start their day with some light-hearted fun. She leaned over and began showering Tom's face with soft kisses, starting from…
