"Never heard your dad mention anything about it. Looks like he's finally given up for good this time." Karen's heart ached for her daughter, and after a pause, she softly called out, "Felicity..."

"Mom, I'm really okay, I'm doing fine! If Langston has truly given up, then I should be happy for him."

"He's hitting thirty, you know. Who knows, he might suddenly bring a girl home, get hitched in a heartbeat. Have you thought this through? No regrets?"

Even though she understood her daughter's decision, considering her friendship with Dorothy Sanchez, she knew it did indeed weigh on Langston.

Not having kids was a significant issue.

But as a mother, Karen felt the need to remind her one more time.

No matter what Felicity decided, she had her support.

"Why should I have any regrets? I don't." Felicity said with a laugh, then fell silent for a few seconds before adding, "But if he gets married, I'm never coming back home! It'd just be awkward for everyone." "Alright, honey. I understand."

After hanging up, Karen finished her nightly routine and climbed into bed to open her laptop.

While looking up some information, Felicity scrolled through old files on WhatsApp, filled out the rest, and then noticed a notification on Twitter.

Clicking on it, the most recent post was Aurora Lopez's wedding photos.
