"I can’t believe you said that," she said again, her voice hoarse. Aiden shoved his hands into his pockets and tilted his head slightly, studying her reaction like it was some sort of entertainment.

"The thing is... I thought—"

"You thought?" she cut in, eyes wide. "Aiden, you told your grandmother we planned to make a baby like it’s just another item on a to-do list! "

"It was the only thing I could think of, alright?"

She let out a groan and covered her face with both hands. After a second, she peeked at him through her fingers. "This is not funny."

"Too bad. You’re turning pink,"

She blinked at him. Was he serious right now?

"I was traumatized a few seconds ago!" she snapped. "That’s why I’m turning pink!"

Aiden sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I was just trying to save us. Would you rather I tell her we’ve been lying to her?"

"Aiden..."

"She walked in asking questions, and I gave her an answer she wouldn’t question. You think she’d smile and walk away if I said, ‘We’

    Mandy and Alina walked out of the store and saw Gavin waiting in the car. As soon as he saw them, he stepped out.But instead of getting in, Alina turned to Mandy.“I’ll just take a cab from here,” she said with a small smile. “You can go ahead to your nail appointment.”Mandy pouted. “We could still drop you off.”“It’s fine. Thanks for the ride. I’ll visit home tomorrow… and I’ll make something for Grandma too.”Mandy nodded. “She’ll love that.”Just then, Gavin’s voice cut in. "So, you’re going to Aiden’s place?'Alina nodded without hesitation. "Yeah."“Alright, see you tomorrow,” Mandy said quickly. “Don’t forget to send me pictures of your food. I’m curious.”Alina laughed softly, gave a small wave, and flagged down a cab. One stopped shortly, and she got in, waving again before the cab drove off.Mandy smiled faintly and got into the car. Gavin followed and sat in the driver’s seat.As he started the engine, he turned to her with a frown. “Why is no one saying anything?”Mandy

    The moment Mandy walked past him without so much as a glance, Zayn turned sharply in her direction.She was smiling now, laughing even, with a girl he didn’t recognize. That expression… it didn’t belong to the Mandy he remembered. And the fact that she ignored him so effortlessly twisted something deep in his chest.No flip of her hair. No forced smile. No awkward attempt to catch his attention. Nothing. She just walked right past him like he was invisible.Seriously? Mandy… ignoring him? Unbelievable.And yet, the way she did it with complete ease bothered him more than he expected. Way more.He was supposed to be relieved. After all, hadn’t he always hated the way she used to be desperate to get his attention? The way she tried too hard to be near him? He should be glad she’d finally moved on.But watching her now, smiling like he didn’t exist... it unsettled him.He glanced her way one last time, jaw tightening, then turned and walked out of the store. Whatever he came to buy didn’

    Alina nodded shyly, brushing her fingers over her lap."He promised he’d eat anything I made," she murmured, almost like she didn’t believe it herself. "I’m not completely sure… but I’m hoping he won’t go back on his words."She let out a small laugh, but it sounded unsure and sad.Grandma Linda looked at her for a long moment. Her heart was full, tears gathering in her eyes. It wasn’t because she was sad, it was because of something else.This girl… so kind, gentle, and patient. How had someone like her come into their lives and changed her grandson so much?She had never seen Aiden this way. Not since he was a boy. There was warmth in him now, a softness he always hid and it was because of her, Alina."Come here," Grandma Lind said suddenly, opening her arms.Alina looked surprised but didn’t hesitate. She leaned in, resting her head gently on the old woman’s shoulder as the woman held her tightly."My dear child," Grandma whispered, her fingers stroking her hair, "You don’t know wh

    Gavin had just returned to the sitting room after leaving Alina by Grandma Linda’s door. He glanced around the room before heading to the couch. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard footsteps echoed from the hallway behind him.He looked up to see Mandy was approaching the staircase, moving slowly, clearly lost in thought until her eyes found his.“You didn’t go in after all?” she asked, stopping at the foot of the stairs and turning slightly to face him.Gavin gave a slight shrug as he sank into the couch. “Figured Alina might want some privacy with Grandma.”Mandy raised an eyebrow, head tilting in mild disbelief. “That’s new. Since when do you care about people’s privacy?”He didn’t answer. Just offered a small smile and leaned back, stretching out like he had all the time in the world.Mandy squinted at him, her eyes narrowing. “You’re acting weird.”He turned his head toward her, a brow raised. “Weird?”“Yeah,” she said, hands on her hips. “You’re not being your usual snobb

    Gavin had thought about her so many times since that brief moment they crossed paths.That strange night, when their eyes met on the road—he couldn’t forget it. She looked so broken, tears falling down her face under the dim streetlights. That image stayed with him. He wanted to know who she was, what had happened to her.But all he had was her name. Searching for her felt like searching for a needle in a desert.Eventually, he gave up… hoping that maybe, just maybe fate would lead her back to him somehow.And now, here she was. Right in front of him.In his family’s house."Alina…" he said quietly, almost in disbelief. The name sounded so familiar in his mouth. That night, her friend had called her that after she had fainted. and ever since, the name had stayed in his memory.Alina blinked in confusion. How did he know her name? She was sure they’d never met before. At least, she thought so.“I think we’ve met before,” Gavin said carefully.Mandy’s eyes widened slightly as she looked

    Aiden stared at her, momentarily stunned. Then the corners of his lips curved into a small smirk.Alina grinned, smoothing out her dress. Aiden reached out, helping her down from the desk gently, while still looking at her like he couldn’t quite believe her boldness.She turned toward Jesse, who had politely kept his back turned the whole time.“You can carry on now,” she said casually, brushing imaginary dust from her skirt. “I’m heading out.”Jesse turned back around, “Of course.”Just as Alina stepped toward the door, Aiden called out, “Wait.”He sifted through a few papers on his desk, flipping through them until he found the one he was looking for. Then he walked over and handed it to her.“I heard this design belongs to you,” he said.Alina took the paper and smiled as soon as she saw the sketch.“Oh! Yeah, that’s mine. Thanks,” she said, flashing him a bright smile. “See you tonight.”She gave a small wave to both men and walked out gracefully.Aiden stood there for a moment, a
