The drive home felt unusually short. Liam couldn't stop tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, a nervous energy coursing through him. He found Maya in the garden, tending to her roses. The setting sun cast long shadows, painting the scene in warm hues.

"Hey," he said, trying to sound casual.

Maya looked up, a small smile playing on her lips. "你好，亲爱的。今天过得怎么样?" Her Mandarin was still imperfect, but it was there. It was real.

Liam let out a whoop of laughter, the sound echoing in the tranquil garden. He rushed towards her, pulling her into a tight hug.
