Isabella’s POV

# 5 vouchers

After the chaos of work during the day, the evening in my apartment with Mateo taking a quick nap felt too quiet. The kind of quiet that didn’t soothe just gave your thoughts more space than they deserved.

I sat on the sofa, staring at a document I hadn’t actually read in the past ten minutes, my mind drifting back and forth between everything that had happened since yesterday.

The appointment. That tiny, fragile beginning on the screen. Dominic beside me. Alessia.

I exhaled slowly, pressing my fingers against my temple for a brief second. Dominic hadn’t tried to come see me or contact me since yesterday except for a few texts asking me to take care and such. For once, I was grateful for the distance. I didn’t want to deal with the chaos that came with him just then. Sighing, I reached for my phone, more out of habit than intention.
