"I'm sorry, we didn't get to stay longer," Kim says, with her hands wrapped around Miran's neck.

They stood in front of her apartment. With a small bag beside her.

"It's all good, I understand" he focused his gaze on her.

"Yeah, maybe I can drop by"

"You're more than welcome," he lowered his head, giving her a peck.

"More, I want more" she pulled him, placing her lips on his.

"You should head in," he says, letting go of her.

"Yeah, maybe I should..."

"Kim?" She paused, hearing a familiar voice call her, it didn't sound like Ava.

Kim turned over to the female voice that just called her.

"Mom?" She says, pulling away from Miran. Miran's gaze focused on Kim.

"Who's..." She bit the lower part of her lip.

"Mom! What are you in California?" She says, walking towards her.

"Kim?" She gripped her wrist.

"Who's that Kimimela?" She turned over to Miran, what was she supposed to introduce him as?
