Laughter fades and the evening cools as Mom's voice, gentle but firm, cuts through the post-dinner tranquility. "It's getting late, kids. You all have work tomorrow." Her reminder sends a collective groan around the room, but we know she's right. We stand, stretching limbs stiff from hours of sitting, and start our goodbyes.

Jacob and I make our way to the driveway, the gravel crunching underfoot. He claps a hand on my shoulder with an appreciative squeeze. "Thanks for looking after Dad, Mike."

"Of course," I reply. "No problem at all."

He hesitates, eyeing me with a look I can't quite read before speaking again. "Listen, take care of Anna for me, will you?" His request throws me off balance, and heat creeps up my neck. How does he...?

Jacob chuckles at my expression, a low, knowing sound. "I've seen the way you look at her, kiddo." My heart skips a beat, but before I can stammer out a response, he continues, "I think you should move in with her. The property's too big for her alone."

The idea hangs between us like a dare. Move in with Anna? Does he mean renting a room in her house, which I’ve been considering? No it doesn’t sound the same. My brain starts racing through the possibilities, each more intimidating than the last. "I'll... think about it," I manage to get out, still reeling from his perceptiveness.

"Good man," Jacob says, giving me another pat before heading to his car.

Shaking off the disorientation, I find Ashley and Anna by Anna's chic vehicle, their heads close together in conversation. Anna's laughter rings clear in the cool night air, a sound that always seems to send my thoughts into overdrive. I approach them, trying to steady my nerves.

"Ready to hit the road?" My voice sounds more casual than I feel.

Ashley turns to me, her eyes sparkling with something mischievous. "Actually, I'm not headed home yet. Anna's invited me over for a drink."

"Really?" I blurt out, unable to hide my surprise—or is it disappointment? She's spending more time with Anna?

"Mike, you should come too," Anna suggests, her gaze flicking to mine with an encouraging tilt of her head. "We were going to talk about a possible ad for Power Fitness."

"Besides," Ashley chimes in, her tone light but insistent, "you're pretty much co-owner of the gym now. It's like a mini celebration."

A mini celebration. The words echo in my mind, stirring a mix of anticipation and anxiety. "Sounds great," I say, doing my best to match their enthusiasm. "But if you're riding together..."

"Follow us in your car," Anna offers with a smile that's too contagious to resist.

"Okay then." I nod, the prospect of the night's unforeseen adventure sparking a thrill in my chest.

I watch the two of them slip into Anna's car, the engine purring to life. I turn back to my own, an older model that suddenly feels starkly plain compared to Anna's elegant lines. Sliding behind the wheel, I give myself a moment. What’s gonna happen? I have a feeling this isn’t just a business meeting or a celebration of my ownership of the gym.
