BigDan's Playlist: Say My Name - Destiny's Child

Track 4 — Say My Name - Destiny's Child --- Nobody spoke for a moment. The café suddenly felt smaller, like the walls had moved closer just to watch what would happen next. The man beside her pulled a chair and sat down across from me. Calm. Too calm. Dolapo and Rylee watched from their table like spectators at a chess match. He leaned back slightly. “So Daniel… how long have you known her?” I shrugged. “Long enough.” He smiled faintly. “Funny.” “What is?” “Because it feels like you think you know her already.” The words hung in the air like smoke. Before I could respond, Dolapo’s voice cut through the tension. “Okay… this is getting uncomfortable.” She turned to the woman at the center of it all. “You might want to start explaining things.” Everyone looked at her. For the first time since I met her, she looked unsure. Not scared. Just… conflicted. Rylee leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. “So let’s make this simple,” he said casually. He gestured between the two of us. “You’ve got history with him.” Then he pointed at me. “And you’ve clearly got something starting here.” He sat back. “So the real question is…” Rylee paused dramatically. “Who exactly are you choosing?” The man beside her chuckled quietly. “You’re assuming she has to choose.” That statement hit harder than expected. I turned to her. “You don’t?” Her eyes met mine. For a moment, the entire room disappeared. Then she spoke. Softly. “Daniel...DDDan...BigDan, I have to...” She hesitated. That hesitation felt louder than anything she could have said. The other man leaned closer to her, his voice calm but firm. “Go on.” Then he added the one sentence that changed everything. “If what we had was real… say my name.” <blockquote>Dolapo hummed... "Say my name, say my name. If no one is around you, say, baby I love you."</blockquote> Rylee nudged her. The other man, still leaning forward, spoke softly... Yeah baby, be my Destiny's Child. Silence. The kind of silence that makes every heartbeat feel like a drum. She closed her eyes briefly. Then she spoke. But the name she said… Wasn’t his. --- <h3>Next On…</h3> The name she said tonight will start a chain reaction no one saw coming. Because tomorrow, the man she didn’t choose will reveal a truth about her past. And when that secret finally surfaces… Even I might question whether loving her was a mistake.
