Camila smiled and patted Erica’s thigh. “What time did you get here?”
“Got here at 1 AM last night. I wanted to come straight over, but Connor wouldn't let me. He said you'd finally fallen asleep and didn't want me disturbing you."
When Erica mentioned this. a look of helplessness mixed with understanding appeared on her face.
“He is really thoughtful and caring,” Camila chuckled softly. Her eyes were filled with tenderness. She thought about everything Connor had done for her, and it still moved her deeply.

‘I'll just grab something downstairs,” Cole shook his head.
“Come on, join us. Mrs. Emily prepared something for you too.” Camila insisted, opening up the grocery bag and placing it in front of him. Cole initially hesitated, but with Camila's enthusiasm and remembering it was Mrs. Emily’s kind gesture, he nodded, “Okay, thank you then.”
