After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Nora hesitated as she read Cole’s message. Fireworks sounded nice, especially since Abby would be there, but the thought of standing together under the night sky, watching the bursts of color explode above them, felt… too intimate. Too much like something a family or a couple would do.

She had already seen how others mistook them for a family. The warmth in Abby’s eyes whenever she looked at her, the way Cole always made space for her in their little outings–it was too easy to fall into the illusion. And illusions were dangerous.

So, with steady fingers, she typed back:

**Nora:** *I can’t tonight. Already have plans with my family at Center Square.*

Cole’s response was immediate.

**Cole:** *Alright. Have fun.*

Simple. No pressure, no further questions.

Nora exhaled softly, relieved.

Abby’s eyes widened. “That’s so cute!” she giggled. “Thank you, Alex!”

Feeling playful, she lifted her own treasure–a delicate, handmade snowflake charm–and held it up to the camera. “Look! My aunt gave me this!”

The smile on Alex’s face wavered. He stared at the charm, a flicker of recognition in his gaze.

*That looks just like the ones I used to have…*
