Chapter 42: They’re approaching
Tryson’s lips curled into a smile as he eagerly picked up the call, pressing the phone to his ear.
"Hey, Jude," he greeted, his voice brimming with excitement.
"So... how’s the moment going?" Jude teased, his tone laced with curiosity.
Tryson lowered his head, a wave of shyness washing over him. But he quickly shook it off, inhaling deeply before responding.
"I finally told her, Jude," he said with quiet confidence. "And now... all I want is to show her—prove to her—just how much I love her. So, I’ve planned a surprise."
"Wow, that’s amazing!" Jude exclaimed. "I bet she’s over the moon right now. Especially considering everything she’s been through... and with her health finally stable, you need to make sure she stays that way."
A silence settled between them.
Tryson leaned against the wall, folding his arms as his mind swirled with thoughts. The phone remained pressed against his ear, but he barely noticed.
"This is the only way," he murmured, almost to himself. "Angel is pregnant, and the only way to keep her safe is to get her out of the house." His voice dropped, laced with an unspoken urgency.
"Especially now... with everything going on. You know what I mean."
Jude’s breath hitched. "Tryson... don’t tell me they’re coming. Not now."
