It was early evening when Darrell and Serena finally arrived at the house. The sky was painted in hues of orange and pink, the last remnants of daylight fading into a soft twilight.
While Darrell wore a small, easygoing smile on his face, Serena was laughing heartily at something he had said, her laughter ringing out like music in the quiet evening air.
"I mean, ma'am, he will never have the courage to approach another woman in his life again. That was extremely embarrassing," Darrell said, stepping out of the car and moving swiftly to her side to open the door for her. Serena, still chuckling, grabbed the bags from the back seat.
"Of course, he will. He just needs someone to encourage him and maybe educate him a little," Serena commented, her laughter subsiding into a warm smile as she stepped out of the car.
