Lily watched Aurora intently, her voice soft but sincere. “If it’s because of what I said earlier, let me clarify- I’m not forcing you to help me with my personal plans. I truly admire your talent, and it would be an honor if you’d consider singing my songs.”

Aurora shifted uncomfortably in her seat. She felt caught in an impossible situation. These strangers seemed genuine, but her past weighed heavily on her decision. Shaking her head, she finally said, “It’s not about that. It’s… personal. I’m sorry, but I can’t accept your offer.”

“Is it because of your child?” Lily asked gently, her tone careful not to offend.

Aurora hesitated, her fingers tightening around the edge of the table. “Not exactly,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. “I appreciate your kind words and the opportunity you’re offering me, but I have to decline.” Rising from her chair, she offered a polite nod. “Thank you again, but I really must go.”

Before Aurora could leave, Lily leaned forward, her voice firm yet kind. “Aurora, please, just hear me out before you go.”

If you let this opportunity slip away, you might regret it one day.”

Aurora blinked, taken aback by the conviction in Lily’s words.

Lily continued, her tone softening. “I’m not asking you to do this for me. Do it for yourself. Do it for your child. You deserve to give yourself–and him–a better future. Don’t let fear or the past hold you back.”

Ethan, who had been quiet until now, added, “And it’s not like this is the first time you’ve worked with me.”
