“I brought some really good wine!” Grayson said.

“Who’s going to drink your stuff?” Keegan scoffed. “Noey wouldn’t touch that.”

“Exactly,” Maverick chimed in. “If Noey drinks, it’s gotta be the best. I’ve got a few rare bottles. I’ll bring them later.”

Waylen leaned in close to Noelle, lowering his voice like he was sharing a secret. “Noey, I’ve got a surprise for you. You’ll see when the time comes. Can’t tell you now. It won’t be a surprise anymore!”

Noelle looked at them, a faint smile on her face.

She didn’t say anything.

She just took it all in, quietly, storing the moment in her heart.

When everyone finally left, Alina walked over.

“You te leaving, aren’t you?”

Noelle turned to her.

Alina’s eyes were bright—too bright.

Not the usual kind of light. It was the kind that came from holding something back, from forcing herself to stay strong.

“I can tell,” Alina said softly. “The way you looked at Grandpa today, it wasn’t the same.”

Noelle was silent for a few seconds.

Then she nodded.

“I’ll go with you,” Alina said right away.

Noelle shook her head.

“Alina,” she said gently, her voice as soft as falling snow, “you owe me a lot.”

Alina’s face went pale for a moment.

“Then carry that with you,” Noelle said, looking at her. “And take good care of our family.”

She paused. Something in her gaze softened.

“Keep being the heiress everyone in Kingstown admires. When I come back, I want to see the same strong family.”

Alina looked at her, her eyes slowly turning red.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

After a long while, she finally asked, her voice hoarse, “When are you leaving?”

‘Five days.”

Five days…

That meant she wouldn’t be staying for the holidays.

Do you want to go see her before you leave?”

he didn’t say the name.

But Noelle knew who she meant.

Joelle glanced toward the stairs.

hey were empty.

She stayed upstairs today,” Alina said softly. “She didn’t want to upset you.”

Joelle followed her gaze.

The staircase stretched long, the corner hidden in shadow.

There was a time she had wanted a mother’s love so badly. She had wanted Mary’s care more than anything.

But now, she didn’t feel it anymore.

She looked away and smiled.

‘he smile was faint but real.

t was the kind of smile that came after letting go.

I won’t see her.”

Vinter.

inow fell thick and steady, covering everything in white.

it the harbor, a ship waited quietly.

t rocked gently with the waves, ropes pulled tight.

Noelle stood in the snow and looked back at the city one last time.

Snow and mist blurred the tall buildings. The lights glowed softly, like they were behind a veil.

Lucas stood beside her, bundled in a thick coat, looking puffed up like a marshmallow.

He breathed out white clouds, rubbing his hands together as he turned to her.

“Noey, let’s go. If we stand here any longer, the snow’s going to bury you.”

Jasper was already on the ship, checking the equipment.

His voice drifted out from the cabin now and then as he spoke with the crew.

Noelle looked away.

She turned and stepped onto the gangway.

The ship slowly pulled away from the dock.

The snow fell harder, quickly hiding the path behind them.

The lights, the buildings, the people she had just left. One by one, they disappeared into the white.

At sea.

The sky was gray. The ocean was gray.

Where they met, you couldn’t tell where one ended and the other began.

It felt like the whole world had been sealed inside a gray box. Only the sound of waves remained, crashing again and again against the ship.

They had been sailing for three days.

The wind was strong. The waves were rough. The ship rocked hard.

Lucas leaned over the railing, face pale, lips white, looking like a fish dragged onto land.

“Ugh-” he groaned weakly. “How much longer? I think I’m dying.”

Jasper sat at the bow and glanced at him. “Almost there.”

Lucas groaned louder. “You said that half an hour ago!”

Jasper shrugged. “This time I mean it.”

“I don’t believe you!” Lucas wailed and then threw up again. “Noey! I think Jasper’s trying to kill me!”

Noelle stepped out of the cabin and paused.

Idiot!

She walked over, trying not to laugh. She handed him some water, then opened her small medical kit. She took out a little jar of balm, dipped her finger in, and gently rubbed some under his nose.

A cool, minty smell spread in the air.

“It helps clear your head,” she said softly. “Hang in there. We’re almost there.”

Lucas sniffed. The nausea eased almost right away.

His eyes lit up. It was like he came back to life. He straightened up, suddenly full of energy.

Then he lifted his chin and shot Jasper a smug look.

“See? Noey treats me the best! She gives me all the good stuff!” he said loudly on purpose. “Unlike some people, sitting there like a statue, just throwing shade. Noey, you and I are a team. Let’s ignore him!”
