After enduring a gruelling night of intense questioning from Madison and Avery about why we cannot go back home, Zayn drops another bombshell: his mother wants to see us.
The request, delivered with a tone that suggested it is not optional, immediately sets me on edge.
I am tired and emotionally drained, I can only imagine what the matriarch of the Statham family might want after everything that has transpired.
With a deep sigh, I cancel all my meetings for the day, resigning myself to what I sarcastically deem an audience with the queen.
The thought alone of another encounter with her is exhausting. I'm mentally preparing for the meeting.
I can't help but roll my eyes, dreading yet another round of navigating the complex dynamics that always seemed to accompany any interaction with Zayn's family.
"For someone who doesn't like me , your mother likes having me around , it's weird."
"You know I got you baby , right?"
