He couldn't shake off the memories of their previous fallout, the bitter arguments and broken trust that had once consumed their friendship. It had been months since they had last spoken, and now they found themselves face to face, forced to confront their differences.James, however, seemed unfazed by the tension, a disarming smile playing on his lips.

"Depends on what you're lookin' for," he replied gruffly, leaning back in his chair.Santos leaned forward,

Perry woke up to the sound of her phone buzzing on the nightstand. Rubbing her eyes, she reached for it and groaned inwardly when she saw Betty's name flashing on the screen. Memories of the past flooded her mind, the bitter taste of betrayal resurfacing. Betty had cremated her father's corpse to avoid a DNA test, denying Perry the closure she desperately sought. Reluctantly, she unlocked her phone and opened the message."Hey Perry, I need to talk to you. It's important. Can you come to the mansion this morning?"Perry sighed and stared at the message, her emotions conflicting within her.

As Perry and Alonso stood outside, wrapped in each other's embrace, a sense of calm washed over Perry. She realized that she couldn't let the actions of the past dictate her future, and no matter how she tried to let it go, the pain and betrayal would always be a part of her, but she had the power to shape her own path and find her own closure.Taking a deep, shuddering breath, Perry gently pulled away from Alonso's warm embrace, feeling the lingering comfort of his touch. Wiping away the tears that had escaped her eyes, she mustered the strength to look into his understanding gaze. With newfound determination in her voice, she spoke, the weight of her emotions evident in every word."You're right, Alonso," Perry began, her voice wavering slightly but growing stronger with each passing moment.
