Cliffhanger

Harper's Hill, Chapter 26: What We Owe To The Land. Content Warning.
Emily pulled up to her Dad's house. She parked in the driveway and got out of the car. She sighed as she walked towards the door, her stomach rumbling, hoping for food once she got inside. In a surprising turn of events, the past few months had changed Emily. Ever since living on the West side of Harper's Hill, she had seen more and more of her Dad. She had been going to his place regularly, sometimes sharing a meal and sometimes just hanging out.

Familiar Strangers - Chapter 9
Chapter 9 Andrea (POV) I still couldn't believe what had just happened between Cassey and me. The office was silent, thick with guilt pressing down on me. I was still in the same position Cassey had left me in, slumped over my desk, absently kicking at it. The moment we had shared was intense, consuming, and the way Cassey had kissed me... God, I still wanted her. I wanted her so bad it had physically hurt at the sound of my phone ringing.

Chapter 7 Cassey (P.O.V) "Do you like it?" Andrea asked again. I couldn't believe this was happening. Today's photo was more complex than the one from yesterday.

Familiar Stranger - Chapter 5
Chapter 5 Cassey (P.O.V) Days blurred into weeks. It was my fifth week as Andrea's assistant, and the surprising thing was, she never once mentioned our past. It was as if it had never happened. A strange mix of relief and disappointment settled within me. Relief that I didn't have to constantly navigate the minefield of our shared history, and disappointment that… well, I wasn't sure why. A part of me, a foolish, stubborn part, wanted Andrea to acknowledge it, to explain, to apologize. But she hadn't. We had fallen into a predictable boss-employee routine, a dance of polite interactions and unspoken tensions.

Mary had a little lamb . Content Warning.
The village had changed. The houses were still there, but the people were not. What remained wore their skins—smiling too wide, eyes too dull. They moved through rituals, living by the light of a sun that hadn’t risen in weeks.
