Chapter 21 Selena

His presence had caught me off guard, but there was something about his genuine apology and easy charm that lingered in my thoughts. I couldn’t help but replay the moment in my mind as I drove, a smile tugging at my lips despite myself.
• When I got home, the sun was dipping below the horizon, casting a warm glow across the neighborhood. I parked my car in the driveway, gathered my books, and headed inside. The familiar scent of dinner wafted through the house, a comforting reminder of my daily routine.
• “Hey, Mom,” I called out as I entered the kitchen, dropping my bag on a chair.
