BETWEEN TWO HEARTS (LINGORM)

Chapter 8

Reese and Lyn's relationship continued to flourish, each day blending seamlessly into the next. They made it a habit to exchange sweet messages throughout the day, sharing little updates about their lives, random thoughts, or just checking in on each other.

Reese would often find herself smiling at her phone, reading Lyn's good morning texts that always seemed to brighten her mood. Lyn, despite her busy schedule, always found time to reach out, sending pictures of her ereands or a quick "I miss you" during her meetings.

During lunch breaks, Lyn would occasionally drop by Reese's school, bringing her favorite food or coffee just to spend a little more time together. Their moments were simple but always filled with affection - like holding hands in the car or stealing quick kisses when no one was looking.

However, Reese's work at school often became overwhelming. There were times when she would get so caught up in her errands, paperwork, and dealing with students that she'd miss replying to Lyn's messages on time. She'd look at her phone hours later and feel a pang of guilt at the missed notifications.

Reese is at her desk, buried in papers and lesson plans when she finally checks her phone. A line of unread messages from Lyn greets her, making her sigh softly.

Lyn messages:
"Hey, babe, hope you're doing okay today. Miss you. Don't skip lunch kasi i can't bring you today, alright? 😊"

"Just finished a meeting, and it was such a drag. Can't wait to see you later!"

"I know you're busy, just checking in. Message me when you can. 💕"

Reese quickly types a reply, her fingers moving swiftly over the screen.

Reese reply:
"Sorry, love! I got caught up with so many things today. I just read your messages now. I miss you too! Can't wait to see you later. 😘"

Reese leans back in her chair, feeling a mix of exhaustion and relief. Despite the craziness of her day, she's grateful to have someone like Lyn, who understands her busy life without getting upset.

Lyn's Office - Afternoon

Lyn is at her desk when she reads Reese's reply. She smiles to herself, appreciating Reese's effort to keep up despite her hectic schedule.

Lyn replying
"No worries, babe. I know you're working hard. I'm proud of you. Let me know if you need anything, okay?"

As the workday ends, they continue their routine of meeting up, whether for a quick dinner or a quiet evening at Lyn's condo. Despite their busy schedules, they always found solace in each other's company, the moments they shared becoming the best part of their day.

Reese smiling as she sits beside Lyn in the car "Thanks for being so patient with me, Lyn. I know I get so caught up sometimes."

Lyn squeezing Reese's hand "Hey, I understand. I'm just happy you're here with me. You're doing great, Reese, and I'm always gonna be here to support you, no matter what."

They share a tender moment, a quiet reminder of the love and understanding that deepened their relationship. The days may be busy, but with every shared lunch, every exchanged message, and every touch, they find comfort in knowing they're navigating it all together.

Despite the happiness Reese felt with Lyn, she didn't expect the storm that was about to hit her career - one that would test not only her professional life but also her relationship with Lyn. It started as a quiet whisper among the school halls, slowly growing louder until it became an unavoidable problem.

Reese walked into the faculty room, feeling the usual hustle and bustle around her. But today, there was something off - colleagues were giving her strange looks, and she could hear hushed conversation, ignoring it, she settled at her desk, trying to focus on her lesson plans.
