Maiari's heart ached at his endearment. She had always been a sucker for his sweet words, his charming gestures. But tonight was different. She couldn't bear to look into his eyes, to confront the lies that lay beneath the surface. "I'm okay," she replied tersely, offering no further explanation. Without another word, she turned and made her way upstairs to their bedroom.

D'Andre watched her retreating figure, a knot of unease settling in the pit of his stomach. He knew he had some explaining to do, but he needed a moment to gather his thoughts. "I'll follow," he finally said, offering a feeble excuse about needing a shower.

Alone in the bedroom, Maiari couldn't contain the tears any longer. They flowed freely, her body shaking with the weight of her emotions. She had trusted D'Andre with her heart, had believed in their love, and yet he had betrayed her trust once again. The pain was unbearable, the feeling of betrayal like a dagger through her chest.

    As the final bell chimed, signaling the end of another long day at Summerfield University, D'Andre couldn't help but feel a gnawing unease in the pit of his stomach. Maiari occupied his thoughts, her absence from his life casting a shadow that he couldn't ignore.Exiting the university grounds, he climbed into his car, a sleek black sedan that usually filled him with a sense of pride. Today, however, the vehicle's plush leather seats and polished interior felt empty, devoid of the laughter and conversations that usually accompanied his drives.Traffic in the bustling city was its usual chaotic self, a seemingly endless sea of vehicles inching forward in an elaborate dance of impatience. D'Andre sighed and leaned back in his seat, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel to the rhythm of a song playing softly on the radio.

    Aunt Daisy, yes, it’s her, she’s calling.D'Andre remained in the dimly lit car, the silence on the other end of the phone echoing in his ears. He couldn't quite believe what happened to Maiari.

    “Wow! A meeting!” D'Andre couldn't help but roll his eyes at the cruel timing. His voice, laced with frustration, betrayed his exasperation. "Seriously, Dad? Right now?" he retorted in full dismay.In the digital silence that followed, a parade of city sounds serenaded D'Andre's ears—the loud sound of car horns, the distant hum of sirens, and the occasional chattering of pedestrians on the bustling sidewalks. The city itself seemed indifferent to his internal turmoil.Mr. Kendrick's response, when it came, was measured and brimming with paternal wisdom. "Sometimes, son, we need to give Maiari space to unwind and think things through. Pressuring her won't help, and you might risk complicating things for our future grandchild. Let her cool down, and I promise you, her anger will fade. You don't want to jeopardize our grandchild's well-being by stressing her out."D'Andre's grip tightened on the steering wheel, his knuckles white with tension.
