“Leonel, could you get me some juice?”
Tears filled his eyes, a mix of regret and realization.

Alexis, maintaining her composure, acknowledged and later contacted Leonel.
Their conversation was strictly professional, discussing a five-day business trip to Czanch.
Alexis, ever separating her personal and professional life, confirmed her availability for the following Monday.

Waylen jovially responded that her presence was the best gift but also playfully warned her against too much celebrity mingling.
Alexis offered a gentle smile.

She then retrieved a large bouquet of roses from her sports car’s trunk.
“A gift for my dearest Mom and Dad!”
Waylen chuckled. “You always know the perfect gift, especially one to brighten Mom’s day!”
