When they finally landed and rushed to Tina’s house, she was waiting for them, her face pale and drawn. “Thank God you’re here,” she said, pulling them into a tight hug. “I don’t know what to do, David. They’re saying Steven did all these terrible things, but I know he’s innocent.” “We’ll figure th
Lulu sat on the couch, her arm wrapped around Tina, who was hunched over, tears streaming down her face. Tina’s sobs had quieted, but she still shook with emotion, clutching a tissue in her hand as if it were the only thing keeping her grounded. “Tina, it’s going to be okay,” Lulu said softly, her
He stood in the doorway, a smug, twisted smile on his face. His eyes gleamed with a kind of cold, calculating malice that sent a shiver down Lulu’s spine. He looked different from the last time she’d seen him—more worn, but somehow more dangerous, like a cornered animal ready to strike. “Hello, Lu

Lulu woke up and rubbed her eyes. “Oh no,” she said softly, peeking around. “I’m on the couch. How did I get here?” She looked at her phone and saw the clock. It was past three. "What the fuck?" She widened her eyes in surprise. Lulu stood up and stretched her arms. She looked around the dark livi
Lulu sat on the edge of the couch, her hands twisting nervously in her lap. Tina tried not to show it but Lulu knew her friend was just as worried as she was. She kept thinking about Alex, about how he had shown up out of nowhere, and how she couldn’t shake the feeling that he might come back.
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.
David slowly opened his eyes, feeling the warmth of Lulu beside him. Her arm was draped over his chest, and he could hear her soft breathing. 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

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
