Rena was in a trance when her phone suddenly rang, pulling her back to reality. it was Waylen calling.

He must be on his way back home. Rena could hear the traffic sounds in the background as she answered his call. His voice was as soothing as always.

"Hey, | just got a call from Dad.

He mentioned that he already picked up Alexis and Marcus. Where are you right now? Let's head to the concert together.”

Rena spoke softly—so softly that it hid the almost imperceptible tremble in her voice.
