Emery sounded worried.
"No need," Danielle replied casually. "It's a small matter."
"Alright, but stay sharp," Emery said, clearly still concerned.
"Okay," Danielle said. After hanging up, she turned and found David watching her intently. His intense gaze
caught her off guard, making her heart flutter like a calm lake disturbed by a sudden ripple.
Breaking the silence, she said, "I should head hnow."
David's lips twitched into a soft smile. His voice was low and gentle as he said, "I'll drive you."
In the car, the ride was quiet. As the smooth motion of the vehicle lulled her, Danielle's eyelids grew heavy.

The knocking startled Danielle awake. Groggy and disoriented, she blinked a few times, trying to gather her
thoughts.
David's gaze softened as he looked at her. A small smile played on his lips as he gently ruffled her hair.
"Finally awake?"
"Yeah," Danielle mumbled, her voice still thick with sleep.
Her brothers, impatient and eager, called out urgently, "Danielle, con, get out of the car!"
Turning toward the window, Danielle caught sight of their faces squished against the glass. She let out a sigh and
