Eleanor’s gaze softened the instant she saw them, a quiet, satisfied smile curving her lips. Charles lifted an amused brow, eyes sparkling with mischief, while Dahlia’s expression warmed with pride and affection. Dominic leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, letting out an approving hum as he studied them.
“Ah! The two lovebirds!” Charles exclaimed, clapping his hands together. “Come on, join us! Have a seat!”
Maya’s face brightened, and she offered a warm smile. “Good morning, everyone!”
Damien guided her toward a seat beside Jamie, across from Dahlia, and gently nudged the chair back so she could sit comfortably. His hand lingered behind her lower back for a fraction longer than necessary, a quiet, grounding presence.
“Thank you,” Maya murmured before turning to Jamie. “Hey, bud!”
