Kelly instinctively reached out, gripping Zev's arm as frustration crept into her voice. "Your leg is still healing-you shouldn't be squatting like that."

"Is Gary completely useless?" Zev muttered bitterly, irritation flashing in his eyes. He couldn't understand how Gary had failed to protect his wife.

Seeing Zev's concern, Kelly couldn't help but smile slightly, amused despite herself. "I'm fine. I just burned myself a little while having fondue. Melody and Darren were with me-it's really nothing serious.”

Zev narrowed his eyes, unconvinced. "Are you sure?"

Kelly nodded without hesitation. She didn't want to worry him any more than necessary. The less he knew, the less anxious he'd be.

"Let's get you inside," Zev said, his voice softer now. He instinctively moved to lift her but hesitated, reminded of his own injuries. Instead, he took her hand in his, adjusting his grip on his crutch as they slowly limped toward the house together.

As they made their way side by side, Kelly let out a quiet laugh. Her eyes glistened slightly, though she quickly blinked back the moisture. "Zev... the way we're walking now, doesn't it feel like we're already growing old together?"

It was a small moment, but the thought lingered. Walking together, supporting each other-it felt like a glimpse into the future.

Before Zev could respond, a small, trembling voice called out. "Kelly!"

Kelly stopped in her tracks and turned around. Standing at the gate was Faye, her tear-streaked face pale, a hearing aid visible in one ear.

Kelly frowned, her eyes scanning the area. Eric was nowhere in sight. Did she come here alone?

"How did you get here?" Kelly asked, suspicion creeping into her voice.

Faye shouldn't have known where Kelly lived.
