At Tyrone’s apartment, Alicia returned home to find him on the couch, phone pressed to his ear. When he saw her, he reached out, pulled her into his arms, and let her settle onto his lap before resuming his call.

Once the call ended, he kissed Alicia on the forehead, keeping her close. “Still mad at me?”
