The drive was smooth, the city outside the car window bustling with life as the afternoon sunlight danced across the streets. Edwards glanced over at Annabelle, his hand resting comfortably on the steering wheel. "Should we go get Karen at my mom's place or head home directly?" he asked, his tone casual but tinged with anticipation.
Annabelle leaned back in her seat, gazing out at the blur of passing trees. "Let's go home," she replied thoughtfully. "We should let Karen have some time with his grandparents. It's important for him to bond with them."
Edwards nodded, a small smile tugging at his lips. "You're right, babe. Besides, we have a lot of catching up to do ourselves." He glanced at her, his eyes glinting mischievously. "What do you say about going out tonight? We could meet up with my friends. It's been years since I've seen them."
