Tyrone met Aella’s calm stare before finally letting go.

No wonder she hadn’t reacted when he hugged her earlier. She’d seen her father come in with a broom.
She just watched him get hit, completely unfazed.
Tyrone turned to Warren and Miriam. “Good afternoon, Warren, Miriam.”
Miriam didn’t answer. She just pulled Aella out of the bathroom.
Warren wasn’t having it. “Mr. Winter, don’t call us that. We don’t deserve this.”
He tossed the broom aside. Tyrone kept his head down and followed Warren into the living
room.
Aella knew her parents didn’t want to make things hard for Tyrone, but they also didn’t want to see him.
She told him, “Go wait in the car. I need a minute with my parents.”
Tyrone glanced at them. Both turned away, but he still said goodbye before leaving.
As soon as he stepped out, Miriam grabbed Aella’s hand, worried. “Aella, what’s going on with you two? Are you …”
Aella reassured them, “It’s his business what he does. I just brought him back to grab something. Don’t overthink it.”
Miriam still looked uneasy. “Tyrone grew up right under our noses. He’s stubborn and always has a plan. Zera has already been sentenced. I’m just scared he’ll mess with you again.”
Aella’s voice was firm. “Don’t worry. I remember everything he’s done to me. No matter what he does, I’m not going back.”
She paused, then added, “But you know Mrs. Winter and Raine have always been good to me. Tyrone and I share friends and connections. Even though they are divorced, it’s hard not to run into each other.
“But you really don’t have to worry. I know my
limits.”
Her
parents finally let it go.
As Aella headed out, Miriam ran after her with an umbrella. “Looks like rain this afternoon.

Aella got in the car and noticed the red mark on Tyrone’s white shirt. She quickly looked away.
Her father hadn’t held back for a while–he’d hit hard.
But compared to everything Tyrone had put her through, that was nothing.
The car started moving.
Aella asked, “I’m wearing the necklace now. Can you tell me what happened to Mr. Locke?”
They locked eyes. Tyrone asked, “When did Sayer move in next door to you?”
Aella frowned, her tone sharp. “Tyrone, I asked first.”
His gaze darkened as he looked at her.
He murmured, almost to himself, “My shoulder hurts.”
They held each other’s eyes for a moment.
Aella turned toward the window, staring outside.
She could feel Tyrone’s intense stare burning into her, but she didn’t flinch.
Back then, if he even coughed, she’d worry sick.
Now, nothing about him could make her feel anything.
They rode in silence.
When the car neared a supermarket by the hospital, Aella told the driver to stop.
“I’m going to grab a few things. I’ll walk back to the hospital,” she said to Tyrone,
Before he could respond, she opened the door and stepped out.
He rolled down the window, watching her cross the street, lost in thought.
“Mr. Winter, are we heading back to the office now?” the driver asked.
Tyrone snapped out of it, noticing the umbrella Aella had left behind.
He grabbed it and stepped out of the car.
Inside, Aella went down the tissue aisle and unexpectedly ran into an old classmate with her
