The tension between Morgan and Casey was strong throughout the evening, but Taylor and Lily chose to ignore it entirely, focusing instead on enjoying their dinner. The subtle exchanges and sharp glances between the couple didn’t go unnoticed, but neither sibling made any comment. Instead, they kept the mood light, pretending everything was perfectly normal.

Morgan, desperate to steer the conversation in a more neutral direction, brought up an upcoming business project. However, both Taylor and Lily responded with little enthusiasm, their half–hearted answers doing nothing to mask their disinterest. Frustrated, Morgan clenched his fists under the table, masking his annoyance with a strained smile.

When the meal finally concluded, Lily rose gracefully and offered a bright smile. “This one’s on me,” she said, heading to the counter to settle the bill. Once outside the restaurant, she stopped abruptly, turning to her parents with an enigmatic expression.

*Father, Mother, I have a little surprise for you,” she announced, her tone laced with intrigue. Without waiting for a response, she reached out and gently took their hands, leading them toward a nearby hotel.

Morgan frowned, suspicion flickering in his eyes. “What is this about, Lily?” he asked cautiously.

“Just trust me,” she replied with a mysterious smile. “You’ll see soon enough.”

The couple exchanged puzzled glances but followed her nonetheless. Upon entering the hotel, the manager greeted them warmly, acknowledging their status as owners of the establishment. Lily nodded politely. The card?” she asked succinctly. The manager handed her the keycard without hesitation, bowing slightly as she accepted it.

Lily led her family to the elevator, her demeanor calm but charged with a subtle energy. Beside her, Taylor couldn’t hide his excitement. The younger sibling, always entertained by drama, seemed to relish the anticipation. He had missed her previous confrontations due to work and was eager to witness what promised to be an eventful evening.

“Should I have brought popcorn?” he quipped under his breath, earning a glare from his mother.

“Lily, what exactly is this surprise? Is it in the room?” Casey asked, her curiosity tinged with nervousness.

“Yes, Mother,” Lily said simply, offering no further explanation. Her cryptic behavior only heightened the

tension.

As the elevator doors opened, they stepped out and made their way down a quiet hallway. Reaching a specific door, Lily paused, turning back to her parents with a mischievous glint in her eyes. “It’s just through here,” she said, swiping the keycard and pushing the door open.

Morgan and Casey hesitated for a moment before stepping inside. The room appeared ordinary at first glance, with nothing out of the ordinary to suggest a “surprise.” They glanced at their daughter in confusion, but she simply gestured for them to follow her further in.

They came to another door within the suite. Lily’s expression shifted, her earlier playfulness giving way to something more serious. Morgan’s unease deepened. A sense of foreboding settled over him as he watched her reach for the handle.
