He mirrored my expression and soon it gets replaced with a huge grin.
“Oh wow, Phoebe. It’s really you…” He trails off saying and rubs the back of his neck. A nervous habit he always had ever since he was a kid.
Darien was my neighbor back in New York when I still lived there. He also happened to be Nate’s best mate. The last time I saw him was the time when he left for Russia to manage his family business after his grandpa passed away from a heart attack.
He and I were not that close but we were sort of good friends.
“You look so different,” He says with wonder and I almost refrain from snorting.
“Different as in…?” I curiously ask him even though I had a feeling that I already knew the answer.
“I mean uh, like your hair and your style…Uh, how do I say it?” He mutters off and flushes with obvious dis

Phoebe’s POVI stare listlessly at the beautiful scenery in front of me whilst sitting on the window frame that overlooks the beautiful view of the castle’s garden.“Then she left the shop. Can you believe the nerve of that woman?” I focus my attention back on the phone when my mum finishes telling tales about some awful customer she encountered today.One of the many things that I inherited from my mother was the lack of patience towards the fowl-mouthed people. We just never had any patience for them.“Forget it, mom. Who cares what she thinks? Besides, did you try out the new recipe you were telling me about?” I ask her and look down at the green blissful scenery again that was now shrouded with the darkness of the night.Another one of the things we both love is nothing other than cooking.

The stunning visuals of the moonlight that was reflected against the surface of the lake almost reminding me of the painting inside Blaze’s study.I clutch Blaze's white shirt tighter around my body to protect it from the cool breeze of midnight. The stars twinkled and glowed bright and for a moment I wondered, how it would feel to lie down against the plush furry carpet that cocooned my feet in its warmth.The gentle breeze blew the strands of my messy hair away from my face with a faint smell of moss hinted at the promise of rain soon. Within a few seconds, the earthy smell gets replaced with the fresh smell of after wash that has been lately reeking off me due to a certain someone.I smile as soon as h

Phoebe’s POVAfter gaining a lot of courage, I turn my head and my eyes lock with brown orbs that screamed fury.“Ava…” I struggle to find words but my mouth gets clogged up with unfamiliar fear.“I can’t believe this Phoebe! How could you?! How could you not tell me?” She literally screams and for a moment my hands itch to muffle her screams with my hands.“For fuck’s sake Ava, stop screaming! You will wake people up with that tone” I implore her into understanding but she rises her hands to silenceme.“I had enough Phoebe. For years I stayed by your side and always tried my best to understand you and yet you do this.

Phoebe’s POV“You’re distracted” Ava states simply and I break out of my reverie to look at“What? No, I’m just...” I trail off not knowing what excuse to give and huff holding the golden retriever puppy closer to my chest. The furry creature whimpers and cuddles further into my embrace to seek warmth whilst I stroke his fur lovingly. I was more of a cat person than a dog but this puppy was beyond gorgeous and cute.
