Goodbyes

Chapter 22 in Cinder

You stirred awake. Two hours, maybe three at most, that was all you’d managed. But none of that mattered, because when you turned your head, she was there. Sydney. Curled close, cheek pressed against the pillow, blonde hair messy in every direction, lips parted just slightl...

Aftershocks

Chapter 21 in Cinder

Chapter 16 in Cinder

The weight of what had just happened crushed down on you, like the whole damn building had collapsed on your shoulders. You stood frozen in that sterile hallway, bouquet limp in your hand, heart hollowed out. Every warning siren you’d ignored now screamed back in your ears. The n...

A Bouquet for a Ghost

Chapter 15 in Cinder

The night had been endless, every twist of the sheets pulling your mind back to that one photo—her chest bared, nipples stiff under the glow of her lamp, that look daring you to do something about it. Her words had seared themselves into your brain: *fuck my tits.* You must’ve re...
