"And your schedule for next week..." Aria listened as her assistant went over her modeling appointments for the upcoming week. They were in her living room, and she couldn't help but wonder why she had given her assistant a spare key in the first place. She wasn't excited about it at all. As she glanced at her assistant, who was still talking without pausing, she quietly muttered to herself, "I need a drink."

"Is there anything you want to say, Miss Aria?" her assistant asked.

With a forced smile, Aria replied, "No, not really. Is that everything?"

"Not quite; I still need to go over your company's schedule," the assistant continued. Aria's smile grew even more strained. Before the assistant could continue, Aria cut her off.

"Actually, let’s save this for another time. I'm feeling pretty tired, and I bet you are too, right?"

"But..."

"No buts—you’re dismissed." Without waiting for an answer, she stood up and headed to her room. Once inside, she turned on her phone and dialed Kae

    Eryn felt unsure about what to do. Even though those two people gave him hints about what they were saying, he still struggled to decide whether he could trust them. He sighed and ran his hand down his face. Just then, his phone lit up with a notification, so he picked it up and read the message. "Hi, it's Aria." He was puzzled about who it was until he remembered the girl from the club. He was surprised to see a message from her because he had completely forgotten about her, and only one person could have shared his number. "Andrew," he muttered under his breath. Another notification came in. "I know you read my message and ignoring it, but I will keep messaging you until you respond." Eryn rolled his eyes and blocked her. "I'm going to get him when he comes back." "Oh, he blocked me? I'll just have to try again," Aria said with a smile. "Miss Aria, are you listening?" her assistant asked. Aria looked up from her phone. "No, clear my schedule for this week and next week; I wo

    "Let me clarify this: you dreamt about him, can hear what people are thinking, and both of you see golden threads connecting you. Am I right?" Eryn asked. "Yes. I know it sounds unbelievable, but it really happened," Lyrra said, trying to convince him. "I understand," was all Eryn responded. "Do you actually believe us?" Kael inquired. "I do," Eryn answered. "Really?" Lyrra questioned, surprised that he would believe them so easily. "Aren't you a scientist? I thought people like you didn't believe in things like this," Kael said, but Lyrra nudged him with her elbow. "What's wrong with you?" she whispered to him before turning back to Eryn. "So, can you help us?" "Hmm, how can I be sure you're telling the truth?" Eryn asked. Lyrra thought for a moment and decided to try using her mind-reading skills. "Let me read your mind," she suggested. He stared at her for a bit. "Okay, go ahead," he replied. "I need to touch you; can you give me your hand?" she asked. Kael looked at th

    Lyrra sat in her office, and today there were no clients. She was waiting for Emily to finish up so they could talk. After a little while, Emily entered and took a seat across from Lyrra's desk. "You wanted to talk to me?" Emily asked while stretching. "Yeah, I need your help with something. You have a friend who knows a friend, who has a cousin that knows another friend who is a scientist, right?" "That's a lot of friends you just mentioned! But yes, I do know someone. What do you need?" "I actually need the scientist's help. Can you tell me how to reach him?" Lyrra said. "Sure! I have his number; I can just give it to you." "Really? Emily, you're amazing! I appreciate it so much!" Lyrra exclaimed happily. "Wow, you must really need his help if you're this excited and saying nice things to me! But what do you need his help for?" Emily asked with curiosity. "I'm not sure yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I find out," Lyrra promised. "Okay then." ------------------- Afte

    " Nice place," Lyrra remarked as she looked around. "That's not the reason you came here. It's a condo, not a house," Kael replied while sitting down on one of the couches. "Same difference. You live in a house, and you also live in a condo," Lyrra shot back. Kael shook his head and sighed. "Let's just talk about why you're here." "Why are you so eager?" Lyrra asked as she settled onto the couch opposite him. "What do you mean, why am I eager? Aren't you curious about what's happening between us? You said you daydream about me." "Excuse me, I do not daydream about you," Lyrra defended herself. "But that's what you told me," Kael smirked. "No, I said I saw you in my dreams; it's different." "You saw me in your dreams; that means you daydreamed about me. Either way, your mind was filled with thoughts of me," Kael said sarcastically. Lyrra tried to stay calm. "You're right. Let’s just get this over with. Do you know what's going on?" "Nope, that’s why you're here—to explain it

    Sophia stood in the lab, staring blankly ahead. She looked at the messy table and felt disheartened about what to do next. Eryn had been missing for two weeks since the incident; he left the hospital on his own, and no one had heard from him since. She wished she could have stopped his obsession with that book earlier. When a coworker walked in and saw her standing there, it made her feel sorry for Sophia. "Sophia, coming back here every single time won't bring him back," she said as she stood beside her and glanced at the messy lab, letting out a sigh. Sophia turned to her and replied, "So we aren’t going to do anything?" "The police are doing their best to find him. Just stay calm; they will locate him," her coworker encouraged. "And what if they don’t find him?" Sophia asked. "They will! Let’s be optimistic. Come on, let’s go grab something to eat," she said with a gentle smile. ------------------Eryn paced back and forth in his living room, whispering to himself, "What's hap
