Returning to Tyron's apartment, I couldn't help but smile. The conversation with Carmen had gone better than I'd hoped, and for the first time in a while, I felt a sense of control over my life. I knocked on the door, feeling a lightness in my step that had been missing for some time.
The door swung open, and Tyron stood there, his usual playful smirk already in place. "Well, well, look who's back and glowing. Did you and Ms. CEO plan your wedding already?" he teased, stepping aside to let me in.
"Shut up, Tyron," I laughed, nudging him lightly as I walked past him into the cozy living room. The familiar smell of his sandalwood incense filled the air, creating a welcoming atmosphere. His apartment was a blend of bohemian charm and modern chic, with vibrant tapestries hanging on the walls and sleek, minimalist furniture.
A soft, warm light from the table lamps bathed the room in a comforting glow, making it feel like a sanctuary.
