A One Night Stand With My Boss

Erica's laughter slowly faded, her emotions settling like the calm after a storm. She flicked on the blinker and merged back onto the main road, the streetlights casting a patchwork of shadows through the car windows.

"Cami, you know what?" Erica suddenly said, her voice tinged with a bit of reflection. "Logan once told me that guys like Connor don't fall in love easily, but when they do, they go all in."

"Yeah, I know," Camila murmured, her eyelashes dipping as she spoke.

Erica sighed. They both took this relationship seriously, and she didn't want to see Camila get hurt.

Claire, Cole, and Craig were already seated, their faces lit up with happiness. Claire's smile widened even more when she saw Camila and Erica come in. They all stood up to greet them.

Claire looked stunning in an elegant red dress, and Cole was dapper in a sharp suit, looking more polished than usual.

"We've been waiting! Congratulations, Mom!" Camila exclaimed as she wrapped her mom in a hug, her face glowing with joy.
