Nyla glanced at the invitation in Gabriel's hand. She hadn't bought a birthday gift yet, so attending the jewelry auction could be a nice alternative. However, she didn't want to feel obligated to him.
"No, thanks. I'm not interested," she declined.
Gabriel looked a bit helpless. "Nyla, are you still upset about what happened with your dad?" Nyla met his gaze calmly. "This is betweenand him. It has nothing to do with you." Gabriel seemed hurt by her response. "But we're family!" "To your mom, I've never been considered part of the family. In her eyes, the three of you are the family," Nyla retorted.
"She's her, and I'm me! To me, you are family," Gabriel insisted, his expression earnest and passionate.
Nyla paused before replying, "But we're not destined to be a family." The hallway fell into a heavy silence, their breathing the only sound breaking it.
Gabriel's emotions flickered in his eyes. He seemed on the verge of saying something but then composed himself.

"Nyla, your brother gavetwo tickets to a jewelry auction this morning. Do you want to go with me?" Melody asked.
Nyla was surprised that Gabriel had actually done that. She shook her head. "No, I have other plans." "I haven't even told you the date yet. How do you know you have plans? You don't want to go with me, do you?" Melody pouted, clearly disappointed.
"No. It's just that you could use this opportunity to get closer to him. Don't you want to pursue him?" Nyla asked. "I do..." Melody murmured.
Conflict flashed in her eyes. Gabriel had mentioned earlier that morning that Nyla was feeling down and suggested she take Nyla to the auction to cheer her up. "But I still want to go with you. Men don't understand things like jewelry. Please cwith me!" Melody pleaded.
Nyla hesitated but ultimately refused, "Melody, let him accompany you. I really don't want to go." Seeing her firm stance, Melody knew she wouldn't change her mind. What Nyla had decided wouldn't change because of others.
"Okay, then," Melody relented.
