Chapter 3 .
Chapter 3 By the time Pax returned , the night was deep , and I had long since gone to bed .
He moved carefully , leaning down to press a featherlight kiss to my forehead .
For a long moment , he said nothing .
Then , in a voice so low I almost thought I imagined it , he whispered , Im sorry .
The words barely reached my ears , but they lingered , unsettling something in my chest .
He washed up quickly , the quiet rustling of water and fabric filling the tiny room .
Then , with the same cautiousness , he slipped into bed beside me .
Our bed was cheap and rickety just shifting slightly made the frame creak .
I turned onto my side , careful not to wake him .
Moonlight spilled in through the window , casting pale shadows across the walls .
I glanced up .
Pax was already asleep .
His face was calm , his features relaxed in a way they never were when he was awake .
I reached for his phone , my fingers moving instinctively over the familiar passcode .
It unlocked without hesitation .
Nina was back .
And the reason he had rushed out tonight was to pick her up .
In the group chat , his friends were already having their fun : Ninas back earlier than expected .
Lets see how Pax gets out of this one .
Tsk , so youre still going back to that shabby little apartment tonight ? You havent broken up with her yet ? Damn , dont tell me youre actually getting attached ? Paxs reply was simple .

Then , a message from Nina herself : I heard youve been seeing someone these past two years ? He had read it .
But he didnt reply .
Two years .
I hadnt even realized it had been that long .
For over seven hundred days and nights , Pax and I had shared this tiny , suffocating space .
We had worked endlessly , saving every penny , with nothing to rely on but each other .
We had nothing else .
I locked the phone and stared blankly at the ceiling .
In the silence , his steady breathing filled the room .
Then , somewhere between wakefulness and sleep , Pax shifted .
His arm draped over my waist , pulling me close .
Half conscious , voice slurred , he murmured against my ear.
I listened carefully , waiting for the words to form .
