Tom had a smile on his face as he woke up on Monday morning to kisses on his face. "What are you doing?" He asked Lucy as he tried to open his eyes but she kept kissing both eyes one after the other. "Waking you up," Lucy said as she pulled away from him and Tom chuckled. "You seem to have woken up with lots of energy," Tom observed as he looked into her smiling face. "Lots of love you mean," she corrected and Tom laughed as he glanced at the alarm clock by the bed. "It's not even six yet,"…-

After their date at the gallery, Lucy and Tom had decided to see a movie together at the cinema within the mall where the gallery was located, before going to have dinner. Seated in the cinema, the dim glow of the movie screen faded to black, and the credits rolled. As everyone trooped out, Lucy leaned against Tom's shoulder with one hand covering her face so that no one would see her. Tom chuckled, his hand finding hers under the armrest. The popcorn bucket sat between them, half-empty, a…

Jade was still seated in the dining with a frown etched between her brows as she tried to figure out what was up with Andy when Candace returned. "I'm back. I hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long," Candace announced as she took the seat opposite Jade. Jade glanced up at her, "You didn't. Is Andy okay? She didn't seem fine," Jade asked, concern coloring her tone. Candace nodded, a hint of worry in her eyes. "She's a bit tipsy. I guess she had a little too much to drink at her place," Candace…

As Harry and Jade lay on his bed seeing a movie, Harry's eyes drifted to the wall clock and when he saw that it was almost 4 PM, it occurred to him that Jade would be wanting to leave soon. She had said she would be going back to Tom's place by 5 PM, but he didn't want her to leave. He didn't want to spend a moment without her in the house with him. "I'm hungry. How about we go make lunch," he suggested, wanting to distract her so she wouldn't know what time it was until it would be too late for her…

Alone in her house, since Candace had dropped her off before going to visit Matt, Andy sat at the balcony, staring at the bottle of wine she had picked from the wine cellar and wondering if Cassidy had deliberately placed it there. She remembered the brand all so well. That had been the wine Cassidy had been drinking when she was led to him the very first night of their encounter. She still remembered how Jero had walked into the living room while she was seeing a soap opera with Candace and had…

After Mia returned from Lucy's apartment earlier, she had met Jeff waiting for her in the living room with his laptop which they were to use to play the game of Scrabble. Now as they played, a playful smirk tugged at her lips as she maneuvered the virtual tiles, forming a word that would earn her triple word score and likely leave Jeff scrambling, while Jeff's gaze lingered on the elegant way her delicate fingers moved. "You have really pretty hands," Jeff said and Mia flashed him a smile.…

Sunlight, filtered through the sheer curtains, danced across Jade's eyelids, coaxing them open. Fatigue clung to her limbs, a souvenir of the festivities of the last two nights. The wedding had been a whirlwind of laughter, dancing, and maybe a few too many celebratory drinks. Yet, amidst the exhaustion, a delightful aroma tickled her nose. Bacon? Pancakes? The scent of breakfast in bed was practically a love song on a Sunday morning. Jade propped herself up on her elbows, a smile already tugging…

Amy lay sprawled on Lucy's bed, her thoughts swirling in a murky haze of grief and numbness. The tears that had poured freely earlier had dried, leaving behind a dull ache, an emptiness that echoed with the absence of Miley's laughter. The world felt muted without her. A chime of the doorbell pierced the silence, jolting Amy from her grief-stricken reverie. For a brief moment, a spark of hope flickered in her chest, Maybe it was Lucas, coming to check on her, his comforting presence a balm to her raw…

A relentless thrumming bass line vibrated through Mia's skull, pulling her from the depths of sleep with a groan. Blinking away the last cobwebs of slumber, she focused on the swirling patterns of sunlight on her bedroom ceiling. The music, thundering from somewhere below, vibrated through the floorboards. Why was it so loud like she was at a club? She mused. Confused, Mia sat up, hair a tangled mess around her face. Her gaze shot to the source of the music – a portable speaker perched precariously…

811 We All Have Masks While Lucy and Lucas were busy conversing, Tom was also busy with Tyler at the balcony. Tom had a frown on his face as he looked at Tyler, "So, you're saying she visited the clinic three times a week, just to talk to your colleague?" "Yeah, that's what he said when I asked why she was always visiting him," Tyler confirmed, his brow furrowed in response to Tom's skeptical expression. "Apparently, they were close family friends." Tom's skepticism intensified. "Close family…
