That’s Unfortunate

After spending some alone time together, Lucy and Tom drove over to Harry's place so they could see Aaron and Jamal.

As they walked into Harry's apartment, the sight that greeted them was far from welcoming.

A soft, heartbreaking wail echoed through the house as Jamal stood in the living room, his little face wet with tears.

Candace was crouched beside him, trying her best to comfort the distraught boy, but Jamal seemed inconsolable.

The moment Jamal spotted Lucy, he broke away from her and ran towards her, his small arms outstretched. "Lucy!" he cried, his voice trembling with sorrow.

Lucy knelt down, catching him in a tight embrace. "Oh, Jamal, what's wrong, sweetie?" she asked, her heart breaking at the sight of his tear-streaked face.

Candace sighed, standing up and brushing her hands on her jeans. "He's been crying ever since Andy told him he can no longer talk to Dawn."
