Be there soon

"Just tell him we're stuck in traffic and we'll be there as soon as we can," Nicole replies, her voice calm and patient.

Megan nods and sends the message, then hands the phone back to Nicole. "Done," she says, settling back into her seat.

Nicole smiles, appreciating her daughter's help.

As they continue to sit in traffic, Nicole looks over at Megan and notices that she seems more relaxed now. Megan catches her mother's gaze and gives her a small smile. "Thanks, Mom," she says, her voice soft.

Nicole reaches over and squeezes Megan's hand. "Of course, Megan. I'm always here for you," she replies, her voice reassuring.

The traffic finally starts to move, and Nicole puts the car into gear. They finally make it off the highway and she navigates through the winding roads of the gated community, and soon they arrive at Ricky's mansion. The massive house looms in front of them, its modern architecture and sleek design a stark contrast to the lush greenery surrounding it.

Nicole pulls up to the entrance and hands the keys to the valet. She takes a deep breath and turns to Megan. "Okay, here we are," she says.
