"Umm, hey," Max said tentatively to Damian, who didn't immediately respond. Damian's eyes remained fixed on the hallways as if he were the sole person walking through them. Undeterred, Max pressed on, determined to address the issue at hand.
"Look, I'm sorry once again about my colleague," Max apologized sincerely, his voice tinged with regret. "He just seems to have a knack for saying the wrong things at the wrong time."
Damian suddenly came to a halt, turning to face Max directly. His gaze was intense, suggesting he was ready to respond, his gaze intense and serious. His silence lingered for a moment, creating an air of anticipation.
Lark lagged a mere couple of feet beh

Rose woke up early in the morning, her body burdened with an unusual weariness that weighed upon her. As she opened her eyes, she scanned the room and noticed a tray of breakfast delicately placed on the table beside her bed. Puzzled, she wondered who could have been so thoughtful as to bring her breakfast. Her mind was still clouded with the events from the previous day and the incessant presence of the press outside the hospital.Just as Rose was about to ponder further, Prisca, her best friend, walked into the room. Prisca's concerned gaze met Rose's, and she asked in a gentle tone, "Hey, Rose, how are you feeling this morning?"Caught off guard by Prisca's unexpected kindness, Rose couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Is Sebastian's condition really as critical as we suspected?"Gwen sighed, her voice heavy with disappointment. "No, Ivy. The hospital was swarming with cops. They were protecting Sebastian's privacy, and no one really knows the extent of his condition. I couldn't get any pictures."I

Max sat behind the wheel of the police car, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel as he observed Rose making her way towards the hospital entrance.

Should he seize this opportunity to apologize, to express his regrets for not saying anything that might have helped her remember him, so she doesn't think he was awkward?Lark, his cynical and mischievous partner, sat beside him, watching Rose's retreating figure with a smirk. "Well, well, Max. Look who decided to show up," Lark jeered, his tone laced with sarcasm. "You really think she wants to see you? Don't forget, she's married now, and way out of your league."Max shot Lark a stern glare, his jaw clenched tightly. "You don't understand, Lark. It's not about that.
