Camila felt a warm glow in her heart as she watched the easy interaction between the two. Cole was always so considerate and warm-hearted, and she knew her mother was truly happy now.
The mother and daughter settled on the couch, and Camila asked, “Mom, how have you been feeling? Any aches or pains lately?”
Claire smiled and shook her head, “I’m perfectly fine, dear. No need to worry. But you, you’ve been working so hard, make sure you’re taking care of yourself too.”
Camila nodded. After a while of chatting, Craig walked in.
“Aunt Claire, Cami,” he greeted, holding out an iced coffee. “I heard you were coming home for dinner, so I grabbed this for you. It’s super popular right now, my colleague said it’s a hit with all the young ladies.”
Camila accepted the iced coffee with a smile, “Thanks, Craig.”
She popped in the straw and took a sip, her face lighting up. “Oh, this is really good!”
Then, with a playful grin, she teased, “Craig, you’re so good at knowing what girls like, do you have a girlfriend?”
Craig rubbed his short hair, smiling wryly, “Not yet. I’d love to be in a relationship, but I just haven’t met the right person.”
“Don’t worry, Craig, your time will come,” Claire said, patting his shoulder reassuringly. “You’re such a catch, so handsome. There’s bound to be a wonderful girl out there for you.”
Camila winked playfully, adding, “Yeah, who knows? Maybe she’ll show up when you least expect it. Stay confident!”
Craig laughed, scratching his head, “You two are just having fun at my expense.”
