Damian mused that encountering someone you genuinely adore was a blessing from the heavens. Yet,
even Cupid, in all his wisdom, sometimes misfired his love arrows, as was the case with him and
Norah.
Norah was young, sheltered, and naive to the workings of the world, mistaking novelty for love and
often diving in headfirst without a second thought.

Otherwise, he would have a hard time explaining it to Estelle!
Xavier put down his phone and lit up a cigarette, inhaling the smoke deeply to numb his restless
emotions.
C City
There were no dazzling city lights in the mountains, making the moon appear even brighter.
The round moon hung between the mountains and the treetops, its soft glow, like silver light,
illuminating the entire courtyard.

festive spirit was even more palpable.

Jarvis. Estelle and Emily sat under the porch
chatting, while Kya scampered around the yard, her clear laughter melting hearts.
Wade had the kitchen warm up some apple cider, and a variety of seafood dishes were prepared. This

He heard a child’s laughter in the background and asked, smiling, “Is that Kya?”
At his words, Charlie, who had been looking at his phone behind Carson, immediately looked up.
Jonathan responded, “Yes, Emily and Kya came along”
“I thought so!” Carson, phone in hand, walked over to Charlie, “Charlie, Kya’s here!
Charlie looked indifferent, his gaze falling on the video showing the quaint courtyard where Emily and
Estelle could be vaguely seen sitting and chatting under the wooden porch.
Emily didn’t go home for the holiday, but why was she in C City?

the frame, her rosy cheeks appearing on the video. and she called out in her childish voice, “Uncle
Charlie!”
Charlie’s hardened heart softened in an instant, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face. “Kya!”
“I’m here at Mr. Jarvis’ house for the holiday with Mommy. Are you coming?” Kya innocently asked. “It’s
