"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Han’s wife exclaid through her sobs. The courtroom was now empty, except for Han’s wife, their daughter, and Rain, with Henry and Marlon standing nearby.
"Please, that’s enough. We were just doing our job, ensuring justice was served," Henry replied with a calm smile.
"I know, but still... thank you for taking my husband’s case seriously and ticulously reviewing everything. I can finally have so peace, knowing we’ll be reunited when he cos ho."
Rain nodded at Han’s wife, offering a reassuring smile. Han’s sentence had been reduced to five years, an outco Rain worked hard to negotiate with the judge. It was the fairest resolution, considering the circumstances.
After Han’s wife and daughter left, Rain, Henry, and Marlon made their way back to the office.
"How about we celebrate? My treat! Dinner, karaoke, and drinks for everyone!" Henry suggested with enthusiasm.
Rain grinned but shook her head. "I can’t. I already have plans. But you two go ahead and enjoy!" she said before walking ahead of them.
She couldn’t hide her excitent, after all, it was Friday, and Alexander had promised a camper van trip. She even planned to clock out early to prepare for their adventure.
The mont she entered the office, her eyes widened in surprise.
"gan?!" Rain exclaid.
"Rain!" gan cried back, rushing over and wrapping her in a tight hug. "I missed you so much!"
Rain laughed, hugging her back before gently breaking away. "Did you get in here?!"
"Yes, she did," Jane chid in, walking into the room with a smile. "She’s already introduced herself to and Matt, Prosecutor Lancaster. She starts on Monday, but I guess she wanted to et her team ahead of ti. And, of course, see you!"
Rain bead at gan, thrilled to have her old friend joining their team. "This is amazing! You’re going to love it here," she said, her excitent spilling over.
"I hope so!" gan replied, her grin matching Rain’s.
"Oh, another beautiful lady for our team! This office is truly blessed," Marlon interrupted with a wide grin, stepping forward and extending his hand toward gan. "Marlon Jones, at your service!"
"Ah, be careful of that one," Jane quipped, earning a chuckle from Rain.
"What? Stop tarnishing my good na in front of our new mber!" Marlon protested dramatically.
gan shook Marlon’s hand politely, but her attention quickly shifted to Henry.
"It’s nice to finally et you, Prosecutor Henry Wayne," she said warmly, extending her hand.
For a mont, Rain noticed a certain sparkle in gan’s eyes as she looked at Henry.
"gan Davis, at your service," gan added with a wide smile.
Henry shook her hand briefly but pulled back almost imdiately, his expression neutral. "Welco to the team," he said curtly before turning to address everyone else. "I have more work to do. Excuse ."
"Wait!" Marlon called out. "You promised to treat us to dinner!"
Rain saw an opportunity and chid in. "That’s right, Henry. And how about this, you bring gan along so she can get to know everyone better?"
Henry glanced at gan, then back at Rain and Marlon. After a mont of hesitation, he sighed. "Fine. But don’t expect to stay too long. Let’s just wrap up our work quickly."
"Great! Dinner and drinks on Prosecutor Wayne, everyone!" Marlon announced with a grin, earning laughter from the group.
Rain nudged gan playfully. "Looks like you’re getting a warm welco already."
gan smiled, glancing shyly at Henry as he headed back to his private office. "I’m looking forward to it," she said softly.
gan looked at Rain and asked, "Aren’t you coming?"
Rain shook her head, her cheeks turning a soft pink as she replied, "I have a date with my husband."
"Oh, are you leaving now?" gan asked. Rain nodded with a small smile.
"Don’t worry, gan. We’ll wrap up things here quickly. We’ll be out exactly at five," Jane chid in with a grin.
Marlon glanced at the clock and said, "There’s still thirty minutes left. How about you co over here, and I’ll give you a quick briefing on how things work?"
gan looked at Rain for confirmation, and Rain nodded. "Go ahead. I’ll just grab my bag."
Rain quickly headed to her private office to retrieve her belongings. On her way out, she waved at everyone and bid them farewell with a cheerful, "See you all on Monday!"
As expected, Alexander was already waiting for her in the basent parking lot. The mont she spotted him leaning casually against their campervan with a warm smile spread across his face.
"Right on ti," Alexander said with a grin, opening the passenger door for her.
"You know I wouldn’t keep you waiting," she teased as she gave his lips a quick peck before she slipped into the seat.
Alexander chuckled, shut the door, and got into the driver’s seat. "Ready for our adventure?" he asked, his excitent evident.
"More than ready," Rain replied, her eyes twinkling with anticipation. As they hit the road, Rain glanced over at Alexander with a curious smile. "So, where are we heading?"
Alexander shot her a quick grin, keeping his eyes on the road. "To a spot I’m sure you’ll love, a quiet shoreline where we can camp and relax."
Rain nodded, a soft smile playing on her lips as she settled into the passenger seat. The hum of the camper van felt comforting, and she reached for the stereo, selecting one of her favorite pop lodies.
The cheerful tune filled the air, matching her lighthearted mood.
"This feels so nice," she murmured, letting her gaze linger on Alexander. His focused expression, the gentle curve of his lips, and the way the faint sunlight highlighted his sharp features made her heart skip a beat.
"What a handso driver," she teased softly.
Alexander glanced at her briefly, his eyebrows raising. "Are you admiring , Mrs. Lancaster?"
"Maybe I am," Rain replied with a cheeky grin. "Who wouldn’t, with a view like this?"
Alexander chuckled, his deep laugh sending a warmth through her chest. "Well, Mrs. Lancaster, you’re not too bad yourself. But keep staring at like that, and I might get distracted."
Rain laughed and leaned back in her seat, her heart full as the road stretched ahead of them. She was too excited to create more treasured mories with her husband!
