Whatever they once had was long over. She never owed him anything.

Even so, that night, no one could sleep.

Two days later, near sunset, Brad came to Aella’s office.

She poured him a glass of water and said flatly, “Brad, if you’re here to talk me into something, don’t bother.”

Brad sat on the couch, slowly turning the glass in his hand.

His sharp eyes studied her face for a long time before he finally spoke.

“If Raine hadn’t caught him, we’d all still be fooled,” Brad said helplessly. “He never really let go.”

Brad spoke in a careful, testing tone. “Aella, maybe for Virginia and Raine’s sake, could you talk to him? Just help him hang on a little longer.”

Aella sat across from him, her expression complicated.

“Funny,” she said quietly. “Weren’t you the one who supported my divorce in the first place?”

Brad set down his glass, walked around the coffee table, and sat beside her.

His face turned serious. “I did. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want you both to be okay.”

He continued gently, “Tyrone’s flying back tonight. I know you don’t want to meet him alone. I’ll

go

with you. I’ll do most of the talking; you just fill in when you need to. How about that?”

Aella lowered her head and stayed silent. Brad sighed, stood up, and said, “Alright, fine. If you don’t want to, I won’t force it.”

She walked him to the door.

As he reached the door, he suddenly flicked his fingers against her forehead.

“Ouch!” Aella yelped, covering the spot and glaring at him.

Brad crossed his arms, and his face turned stern. “You and Tyrone are just the same. Makes me want to knock some sense into both of you.”

Aella stood in the doorway, watching him leave, her heart a mess of mixed feelings.

Daniel walked up beside Aella and followed her gaze. “This city’s small,” he said. “You don’t have

to do it for him–just do it for the people who care. Sometimes it’s okay to step in, as long as you know where you stand.”

Aella shook her head. “Daniel, no one knows him better than I do.

Virginia finally snapped. She turned on Edwin and Ralph, shouting through tears, “Tyrone’s condition is because of both of you! After everything that’s happened, you still can’t admit your mistakes? Do you really want to drive him to his death?”

Tyrone’s face darkened.

He forced out each word slowly, his voice icy. “Grandpa, you’ll regret saying that.”

A sharp pain shot through his chest. He pressed a hand over his heart and turned away, heading quickly toward the bathroom.

After he left, Edwin muttered, “If I don’t push him, he’ll never listen.”

Virginia glared at him. “Edwin, can’t you tell? Tyrone still hasn’t let go of Aella!”

The living room was heavy with tension.

After a few minutes, Raine was the first to notice something was wrong. “Why isn’t Tyrone back yet?”

Everyone exchanged nervous looks before rushing toward the bathroom.

Ralph pushed the door open. Tyrone was standing at the sink, splashing water on his face.

When he saw them all staring at him from the doorway, he simply grabbed a paper towel, dried his face, and walked out, closing the door behind him without a word.
