Tara was working on responding to emails and had a few phone calls, notnoticing it's almost past midnight. Five minutes before she closes her laptop, a random email pops up, addressing it's from Yansen wanting to see her in the morning. She cannot help but respond to the message, hoping she will be given her freedom.

As she sees Jaime looking down at the hallways, she does not bother. understanding that she is checking up on her before she gets bed. Tara did not insist on making a move to Jaime ever since living in the house, like they started being strangers as good as a roommate in a boarding school. Waiting for Jaime to come to her is her wish fulfillment, granting her emotions to be seen. As Jaime's wishes boundaries, Tara is all in a promise to stay in the house and the baby.

Tara cannot help checking Jaime in the middle of the night. Mirroring each other’s behavior but too hesitant to do the move, except Tara is only waiting for Jaime to come on her and be near her. Chances are given that Tara cannot afford to screw it up; the baby is at stake, and she cannot handle the idea that the baby will be taken away from, and the worst is that Jaime will hide the baby away.

Tara brings food or coffee to Jaime on the third floor of the house. Tara allows it to create a working space. Being a sensible human being and giving sympathy to a person, love is the selfless thing to do. Jaime taught her too much how to deal with her emotions and how to address them, but sometimes her defense mechanisms will catch the best of Tara.

Jaime heals that side of her, the trauma and pain those trust issues, and most are anxious in situations or things that she cannot control. Jaime did not take advantage of her weaknesses, as she always explained. Tara knew Jaime loved her, and in that part, Tara is being so heartbroken knowing of what she did to the woman who helped her of what she became.

"I'm here; I didn't respond to the email last night. What is it now, Yansen?" Tara slightly shakes her head.

"Come on in," Yansen calmly invited Tara.

"I need you to sign these." She said that after the door closed, Tara took a glimpse at it.

"Your selling the house?" Tara replied after reading what was inside the envelope. Yansen placed a pen on the brown envelope.

"Yes, I no longer lived there; it feels so empty without you, Tara, so I guess it's better to sell," she said, closing the blinds on the hotel glass door. Tara follows around while sitting.

"There you have it; better to let go of those things," Tara said, placing the pen on top of the paper sitting next to her. Yansen places her hand on Tara’s legs while looking at her.

"What are you doing?"

"I just missed you. I bet you see me in Jaime."

’You two are cousins and shared several genes, and the good part is Jaime had a heart; she's a human who loves and understands well aside from being a witch, as she says,” Tara smirked at the thought.

"Clearly she makes you happy, Otara..never seen your smile like that for all those years; we have been together," Yansen said to her, pulling the collar off her shirt.

"Does she cook for you, clean the house, prepare your things, and most recently give you a baby? Jaime is being domestic,” Yansen added.

"You're jealous," Tara said, shaking her head and looking away.

‘Yes, I am jealous of her.’

"I found home with her Yansen; she's a good woman, and I broke her heart," Tara said, gritting her teeth like she never forgave herself.
