“I don’t understand what you are saying.” She blinked unable to believe his words were real. “ I need to explain, but you have to give me the time.” Lulu looked around. “I do not have any family members as long as I know.” “Listen, I know this might be crazy news, but your father was not your b
David looked at Lulu like she was crazy. “You believe him?” His voice was calm, but there was a sharpness to it, a mix of confusion and worry. He could tell from her little hesitation and then he frowned, “you do.” Lulu nodded, her hands twisting in her lap. “I do, David. I don’t know why, but so
Lulu’s heart skipped a beat, she thought she was hallucinating from how much she had been thinking about him. She gripped the phone tighter, her mind racing with a thousand questions. “Leo, why are you calling me? How did you get my number?” “I have my ways,” he replied, his voice steady. “But th

David mumbled something and buried his face deeper into the pillow, giving her the space she needed. Lulu walked into the kitchen, her heart pounding in her chest. She had to tell him, but how? How could she explain everything without breaking his heart? She leaned against the counter, staring
David didn’t return until later at night and he went straight to bed without saying a word. Lulu felt shattered but she knew he had every right to be upset. Lulu stood in front of the closet, hands trembling as she picked out a jacket. She was still trying to keep her thoughts in order, but ev
The park was quiet She stopped a few feet away, her throat dry. “Leo?” He turned slowly, his face unreadable in the dim light. “Lulu. You came.” “I said I would,” she replied, trying to keep her voice steady. “You said you had something to tell me.” “I do,” Leo said, taking a step closer. “But f
Lulu smiled at the sight of her two favorite people playing together. She joined them, helping Sage grab small handfuls of sand. “Look, Sage! We’re building a castle for you.” As they worked together, their laughter filled the air. It was a beautiful moment, one Lulu would always cherish. “Okay, S
After Tina and Steven left, David and Lulu lay on the couch, wrapped in each other’s arms. The afternoon sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow in the living room. Lulu sighed contentedly, resting her head on David’s chest. “I love days like this. Just you, me, and Sage.” “Me too,”
Lulu and David were still basking in the warmth of their reunion when there was a knock at the door. Lulu looked at David, her eyes bright with curiosity. “Who could that be?” she asked, glancing at the clock. It was still early in the afternoon. “I don’t know. Want me to check?” David replied, ge
Mirabel wiped at her eyes, her tears falling freely now. “I’m so sorry, David. I didn’t mean for it to go this far.” David shook his head, disgusted by her words. “Sorry isn’t enough, Mirabel. Not for what you did.” Mirabel looked up at him, desperation in her eyes. “Please, David. Don’t fire me.

They hadn’t slept like this in a long time, wrapped up in each other, the way they used to when everything felt right. For a moment, it felt like everything h
They sat there in silence for a while before David leaned in to plant a kiss on her lips, they stayed that way for a moment before he laid her on her back, slightly hovering above her. it was only a moment before they were both completely naked, panting hard as they both moaned desperately, wanting
Lulu stood there, her arms crossed, staring at David. The silence in the room was thick, and David could feel the tension radiating from her. Her lips quivered, her eyes sharp and filled with suspicion. “You could be lying to me,” she said suddenly, her voice low but filled with hurt. David’s hear
David parked the car in the driveway, stepping out quickly. He waited as Lulu pulled up behind him. She got out slowly, holding Sage close to her chest. Her face was pale, and she looked drained. David walked toward her, his eyes full of worry. “Lulu…” he began softly. Lulu looked at him, exhaus
Lulu stood frozen, staring at James. Her heart pounded in her chest as the shock of seeing him still lingered. “How did you…?” Lulu started, her voice shaky. “How did you get out of jail? You were in England. What are you doing here?” James glanced around nervously. “I can’t say too much,” he re
