As they all arrived home, Marissa and Jasmine continued to shower Maiari with gratitude for her generosity during their shopping spree. They were genuinely thankful for her kindness.

Andrea, curious and eager to explore the capabilities of her mother's phone, asked if she could borrow it. Maiari, feeling the need to catch up with her friends and unwind, agreed, handing Andrea the phone with a loving smile.

Maiari settled on the living room sofa with her two closest friends, Marissa and Jasmine. The room was awash with the warm hues of late afternoon sunlight.

"Seriously, Mai, you're a lifesaver," Marissa exclaimed, sinking back into the plush sofa. "I can't believe you covered all our shopping today. That dress I got would have put a real dent in my wallet."

Jasmine chimed in, her face still glowing from their successful shopping spree. "Yeah, I mean, we've missed you so much, and you just sweep back into town and treat us like royalty. You're the best, Mai."

Maiari chuckled at her fr

    Maiari retraced her steps back to the living room where Aunt Daisy and Uncle Mike were seated. She felt a slight embarrassment as she asked them, "Do you happen to have a spare key for Andrea's room? I found her door locked, and she's not responding."Uncle Mike chuckled, shaking his head. "Maiari, you really need to duplicate that key. It's not the first time this has happened."Aunt Daisy nodded in agreement. "He's right, dear. You always forget. Maybe it's time you make that duplicate key."Maiari sighed, realizing that she had been procrastinating on this task for far too long. "I hope I remember to do it this time. I've just been so busy lately."With that, she excused herself once more and made her way back to Andrea's room. She hoped that her daughter was fine and that this little incident would remind her to prioritize making that spare key. Reaching the locked door, Maiari took a deep breath and used another key to open it, relieved to find Andrea inside, sleeping sound.She

    Maiari's voice quivered with suppressed anger as she began her inquiry. Her words flowed like a torrent from a dam that had held back her emotions for far too long. Her eyes bore into D'Andre's, demanding honesty."Why are you doing this? Just tell me the truth, D'Andre," she implored, her voice tinged with a mix of frustration and longing.D'Andre, head hung low, responded in a low, almost defeated tone. He seemed to struggle with his words, the weight of his actions weighing him down."Maiari, why did you even come back?

    After hours of driving, the coastal breeze, thick with the tang of salt, greeted them as they arrived at their destination. A jolt passed through Mr. Kendrick's aging body as the car came to a halt, signaling the end of their journey.

    "Maiari?" D'Andre stammered, finally finding his voice after being awestruck by the unexpected appearance of the young woman.Maiari strolled casually toward the man. "What brings you here?" D'Andre inquired."Ma'am Mai, you're already here. Sir has a concern and would like to speak with you," the woman who had been scolded by D'Andre earlier at the front desk explained."That's fine, I know her. I'll take care of it," Maiari replied before turning her gaze back to D'Andre. "So, Sir D'Andre, what's the matter?""Oh, it's nothing, really. Don't worry about it," D'Andre replied, stumbling over his words and hurrying to speak. Why did the atmosphere suddenly change?"Is there a problem with the room, the door perhaps?" Maiari asked, a sly smile playing on her lips."Wait, how did you know?" D'Andre furrowed his brow, puzzled as to how the young woman had found out, as he hadn't informed her, except for the staff at the front desk who had yet to contact Maiari about the issue before she a
