The Hitman’s Sunshine

Lily gulped, it's the 'devil'. She said in her mind with her hands still trembling. Raven picked the phone from the girl's hand, turning it off, he said, "You don't want to do that. Now run along and forget everything that happened here, little girl." His voice low and chilly to the bone. _ _ _ Sunshine Meets Grumpy He's a hitman, a hacker, a serpent slithering through the city's underbelly. Not a hero, not even close. The mafia's ghost in the machine, shadows his only companions. Then, there's her. Bookish, buried in debt and dreams, juggling endless shifts and late-night study sessions. Sunflower yellow amidst the grimy alleys, oblivious to the danger lurking beneath her hopeful smile. "Plain," they call her, "basic." But her light, it's undeniable. One fated night, a muttered curse, a stolen glance. Their worlds, oil and water, are destined to collide. Can sunshine melt the frost around a killer's heart? Or will their tangled destinies ignite a storm that consumes them both?

THE PARCEL

[Music Recommendation: Rise Up ~ Andra Day] or [Love In The Dark ~ Adele]

The next day, Maya woke up feeling refreshed and excited. She didn't know why, but she felt like the morning sun was shining brightly because it was smiling at her. She was the first to wake up in the house, and she went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone.

Old Bat woke up when she heard movement inside the kitchen. She entered the kitchen only to see Maya humming a song only she understood as she moved her waist happily getting breakfast ready.

"My favorite mama," Maya called out when she saw Old Bat, throwing her arms around the woman's neck. "Good morning."

Old Bat narrowed her eyes at the girl. It was the first time Maya had openly acknowledged her as a mother. When Maya moved away, Old Bat took a cup and poured herself some water, drinking while looking at Maya from the rim of the cup.
