154: Calvin's Proposal

Calvin arrived at Emily's home with a determined expression, his eyes clouded with a mix of grief and boldness. Emily’s parents and sister were in the living room, speaking in hushed tones when he entered. The room fell silent as they noticed his presence.

"Calvin," Dolores greeted, her voice warm yet filled with curiosity. "Is everything alright?"

Calvin nodded curtly. "I need to speak with Emily alone, please. It's urgent and important."

The Walters exchanged glances before reluctantly agreeing. Dolores gave Emily a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder, and Smith patted Calvin on the back before they all exited the room, leaving the two alone.

Emily sat on the couch, her heart still heavy with sorrow. Calvin took a seat across from her, his face grave. For a moment, he said nothing, as if gathering his thoughts.

"I'm doing everything within my power to bring down Jacob McCall," he began, his voice low but intense. "He's the one who murdered Eric. He's also the one who took his body."
