David stood still, the phone pressed to his ear, his body tense. Steven’s voice was quiet but firm. “I’ve been digging into Mirabel’s life, like you asked,” Steven said, pausing for a moment. “And... there’s something you need to know. The kid, Isaac... there’s a chance he might be yours.” David’s
David slipped out of the room slowly, careful not to wake Lulu. The dim light from the hallway barely lit up the space, but he could see her chest rising and falling gently. She was finally asleep after a long day, and he didn’t want to disturb her. He grabbed his phone from the bedside table and st
Mirabel opened the door. David stood there, his face a mix of worry and confusion. Issac, lay limp in her arms, pale and weak. "Thank you for coming," Mirabel whispered. David glanced at Issac. "We need to get him to the hospital now." Mirabel nodded, her eyes filled with tears. She followed Davi
David stepped into the hospital room where Mirabel sat by Issac’s bed. Her eyes were tired, but there was a small glimmer of relief as she watched her son sleeping peacefully. The steady beeping of the heart monitor filled the room, calming the tense air. “David,” Mirabel whispered when she saw him
David stood frozen in the doorway, staring at Lulu. He could feel the weight of her gaze, and his mind raced for something to say. Anything. “David,” she said, her voice firmer this time. “Where were you?” He hesitated, his mouth dry. He didn’t want to tell her about Mirabel. He wasn’t sure how to
The next morning, he picked up his phone and dialed Mirabel’s number. He listened as it rang once, twice, and then heard her voice. “Hello?” Mirabel answered. “Hey, it’s me,” he said. “How’s Isaac doing?” “He’s fine,” she replied. “Fine?” he echoed. “That’s good.” “Yeah, he’s okay. Why, what’s
David stood by the door, looking at his watch. “I have to leave early today for work,” he said quickly, avoiding Lulu’s eyes. Lulu didn’t ask why. She didn’t even look up. “Okay,” she replied quietly, holding Sage in her arms. David paused for a second like he was going to say something more, the
Lulu lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. It had been a long day. Sage was finally asleep in her room, and Lulu felt the weight of the day pressing down on her. She just wanted to rest, to close her eyes and forget everything for a little while. She pulled the blanket up over her shoulders and close
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
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
