**Her Spark Ignites Tonight**
By J.S. Caldwell
**Chapter 344**
When Jayceon’s voice broke the silence again, it was a low murmur that seemed to resonate not just in the air between them, but within himself as well. “My shoulder is injured.” The words hung there, heavy with unspoken weight, as if he were confessing a secret not only to Arabella but also to his own troubled heart.
Their eyes met for a fleeting moment, the intensity palpable. Arabella, feeling the heat of his gaze like a spotlight, turned her attention to the world outside the window, seeking solace in the passing scenery.
Inside, her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. Once upon a time, the mere hint of Jayceon being unwell would have sent her spiraling into concern, her heart racing with worry. But now? Now, his injuries stirred nothing within her. The emotional connection that once bound them had frayed, unraveling into a silence that felt as vast as the ocean.
The remainder of their journey was steeped in an uncomfortable quiet, each lost in their own thoughts. The car rolled to a stop near a supermarket adjacent to the hospital. Arabella made her intentions clear, her voice steady. “I’m going to get out and buy something. I’ll walk back to the hospital in a bit.”
Before Jayceon could interject, she swung the car door open and stepped out, leaving him with his unspoken words and a sense of helplessness.
**Chapter 344**
Jayceon lowered the window, his gaze trailing Arabella as she crossed the street, a figure moving with purpose. The driver’s voice broke through his reverie, asking, “Mr. Melendez, should we head back to the office now?”
The question jolted Jayceon back to the present. His eyes fell upon the umbrella Arabella had inadvertently left behind. A spark of determination ignited within him. He snatched the umbrella from the seat and exited the car, his feet moving almost on instinct.
Inside the supermarket, Arabella navigated the aisles, her mind occupied with thoughts of the past. She found herself in the paper products section, where an unexpected sight caught her attention. An old classmate, accompanied by her boyfriend, was selecting sanitary pads. Arabella hesitated, not wanting to intrude on their intimate moment.
The girl’s laughter rang out, light and filled with affection. “Have you ever bought this stuff for another girl before?” she teased, her eyes sparkling.
The boyfriend, clearly flustered yet amused, replied, “Honey, what are you talking about? This is such a personal thing. How could I just buy it for anyone other than my own wife!”
