David stood frozen in the middle of the living room. Where is she? Where’s Lulu? Where’s Sage? His heart pounded. His hands were shaking. He grabbed his phone, dialing as fast as he could. “Tina,” he muttered under his breath, pressing the call button. It rang only once before Tina picked up. “Dav
David’s hand shook as he stared at the unknown number flashing on his screen. His heart raced, pounding in his chest. He swallowed hard and pressed the answer button. “Hello?” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “David?” Lulu’s voice came through the line, shaky but clear. David’s knees al
As soon as David, Lulu, and Sage stepped into the house, David let out a deep sigh of relief. He closed the door behind them, locking it quickly. Lulu sat down on the couch, holding Sage close to her chest. She still looked shaken, her eyes tired. David pulled out his phone and quickly dialed Tina’
David walked into the office the next morning, his mind still heavy with thoughts of what had happened the day before. He hoped today would be quieter, that he could focus on work and not worry too much about Lulu’s fears. But as soon as he stepped inside, he froze. Isaac was sitting in one of the
Tina stood frozen in the hallway, her heart racing as she tried to process what she had just heard. She didn’t understand why Mirabel had said that. Why would Mirabel say Isaac is going to meet his father? Just as she was trying to make sense of it, she heard footsteps behind her. She quickly tur
Isaac looked up at Steven with wide eyes, his voice small. “Dad?” Mirabel quickly corrected him, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. “No, honey, that’s not him.” Isaac frowned, confused. “But he looks like you.” “Sweetie, it’s not him,” Mirabel reassured him, smiling softly at Isaac before gla
David stood frozen. “Wait, what did you say?” He was certain she didn’t just say that. Lulu’s eyes were sharp, full of hurt. “I heard you, David. Mirabel has a child. Is it true?” David swallowed hard, his heart skipping a bit. “How did you know? I was just about to tell you,” he stuttered, “how
“Why didn’t I just tell her?” he muttered to himself. “Why did I let it get this far?” He could hear Lulu crying softly through the door. It felt like daggers in his heart. He wanted to go to her, to hold her, but he knew she needed space. He didn’t want to push her away even more. “What have I do
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
