Written in the Nightmares (Signed)

The body remembers what the mind tries to bury, and the nights refuse to stay silent. In the aftermath of Written in the Scars, Reagan finds herself pulled further inward, where memory sharpens instead of fades. The past presses close, relentless and intimate, surfacing in moments she cannot control. She is still fighting, but the battlefield has shifted. These wounds are quieter, more personal, and far more dangerous. Orion remains at her side, cast in the role of protector, offering devotion with almost reverent intensity. Yet Reagan is not searching for rescue. What draws her is heat, tension, the spark that burns rather than soothes. Beneath his composed exterior lies something raw and unrestrained, a presence that unsettles her as much as it attracts. It lives in his restraint, in the pauses he leaves unspoken, in the way their conflicts feel charged rather than resolved. But comfort and desire rarely walk the same path. As longing collides with hurt, Reagan must confront a question she has been avoiding. Is healing found in safety, or in surrendering to the pull of someone whose darkness mirrors her own? This provocative continuation blurs the line between devotion and fixation, where closeness cuts deep and truth surfaces after dark. One thing remains clear: the night never invents what the heart is trying to hide.
