Jessica and Lilian were already daydreaming about the future
Jessica s smile could light up the room
This is amazing I can twa it for Wendy to perform my surgery she said her voice full of excitement
Stanley stood alone in the corridor not leaving right away Instead he lingered standing there in silence
The light in the hospital corridor was dim casting a soft glow on his broad shoulders enveloping him in a faint shadow
Just then Z ayn approached Mr Hawk are we heading back to the company tonight or to Royale Residences Stanley barely moved his lips curling slightly You head back first
Alright Mr Hawk Z ayn responded then turned and left
Stanley walked over to the window His mind echoed with the memory of Wendy and Samuel s phone call Wendy had said she didn t want to stay in Hove n dale anymore She was leaving and Samuel would take her away
She was carrying Samuel s child They would be happy together wouldn t they
On the other hand he had Jessica She was his responsibility and in the future he would marry her
It seemed like the right thing A clean break each of them moving on to separate lives It was for the best
It really was for the best
Stanley told himself with all his strength and reason that this was the best arrangement for both him and Wendy
Yet his heartache d Deep inside it felt like something was slowly slipping away
No matter how hard he tried that thing kept drifting further from him
The loss was unbearable
Yet there was nothing he could do about it
Once Wendy had fallen asleep Halsey quietly slipped out of the room As she walked down the corridor she spotted Dwight
He hadn t left yet Dressed in all black he s at on the bench his sharp cool features barely softened by the dim lighting
Halsey rushed up to him Dwight thanks so much If it weren t for you we wouldn t have been able to save Wendy in time
Dwight stood up his expression neutral as cold as always Is everything taken care of
Halseynodded.”Yeah.”

Her soft delicate hand slipped into his and for a moment wight hesitated He turned to look at her He t small oval face was tilted up her eyes filled with a bright dazzling smile lighting up the dull corridor
Shesmiledathim.
Dwight tried to pull his hand away but Halsey anticipated is move She gripped his hand tightly I m heading home too Can you give meat ide
Dwight opened his mouth about to say something but Halsey quickly added It s really late and it s dangerous for a girl like me to be out alone You wouldn t want me to be in danger would you
Hefellsilent.
His silence was his consent Halsey felt a rust r of happiness Have you ever had other girls ride on your bike
She wanted to know if she was the only one who had ever been on his bike
Dwightnodded.”Yeah.”
