I had just finished a long day at the hospital and was eagerly anticipating the comfort of my home. As I drove, the late afternoon sun cast a warm glow through the car windows. My eyes felt heavy, so I rubbed them briefly at a red light. That's when I noticed my phone on its clip by the dashboard—my husband was calling.

I pressed the answer button as the light turned green and continued to drive, chatting with him. "Hey, honey."

"Hi, honey," he replied, his voice full of warmth. "Calling from the office. Just wanted to say hello."

"That's sweet, baby," I said, stifling a yawn.

"Tired?" He chuckled softly.

"Yeah, busy day today. Morgan called off, so I took her shift. Three surgeries."

"Ouch, sounds tiring," he said sympathetically.

"Very," I agreed. "But I'm almost home. I'm going to change out of my scrubs and take a nice, long shower."

"Good, relax now, baby. I'm off in about an hour and I'll see you when I'm home."

I nodded even though he couldn't see me and noticed another call coming in. My heart skipped a beat when I saw Luther's name on the screen. It had been about three years since we last spoke—our lives had changed so much after losing our powers and Allison resetting the timeline. We had all gone our separate ways, and keeping in touch had become sporadic.

"Okay, honey, I have to go now. I'll see you at the house," I said, glancing at Luther's name, feeling a pang of guilt.

"Okay, love you," he said before I ended the call and hesitantly answered Luther's.

"Luther... hi," I said, trying to keep my voice steady.

"Y/n, hey... it's been a while," he said, his tone warm but tinged with awkwardness.

"Yeah, it has," I replied.

There was a brief silence on the line, and I could hear him shifting around. "Um, how have you been?"

"Been great. Just working," I said, trying to sound upbeat.

"That's amazing," he responded.

"Yup..." I said, trying to fill the silence.

"Well, I wanted to call to see if you're coming to Little Grace's birthday party," Luther said.

My heart sank as I remembered. Grace's birthday party—it had completely slipped my mind. I hesitated, unsure of what to say. Oh, shit! I forgot about that.
