After breakfast, Jonathan headed to the office, while Estelle took Norah and Henson to play tennis.
Arriving at the gym, Norah's eyes lit up when she spotted Xavier lounging in the rest area. She whispered excitedly to Estelle, "Did you arrange for him to be here?"
Estelle gave her an encouraging look, signaling, "Seize the moment!"
Norah was so thrilled she almost hugged Estelle and lifted her off the ground.
Henson frowned and advised, "Keep it cool, maintain some decorum!"
It's no wonder people can read you so easily if you wear your heart on your sleeve like that!
Norah took his advice to heart, albeit reluctantly, and managed to calm her excitement.
Xavier approached them, having received a call from Estelle. It was only then he realized her intention in calling him.
Without much ado, he held up his racquet, "Fancy a game?"
Henson quickly chimed in, "I'm teaming up with Ms. Macclain. She's got my back!"
Norah shot Henson a grateful look, thankful he hadn't called Estelle by her first name as he usually did. Today, probably mindful of her budding relationship with Xavier, he opted for a more formal address.
Xavier turned to Norah, "As long as you don't lose to Henson, I promise not to let Estelle win against us."
Norah raised her hand for a high five, "Pleasure partnering with you!"
Their palms met in a crisp clap before they both headed to the court.
Henson raised an eyebrow at Estelle, "Ms. Macclain, the pressure's on you now!"
Estelle replied seriously, "For the sake of your sister's happiness, I might just throw the game a little."
Henson looked at her skeptically, "Or are you just afraid you can't beat Uncle Gonzalez and looking for an excuse?"
Estelle glared at him, "Since when have I ever backed down?"
Henson just chuckled and whispered, "I'll grab the racquets, you warm up!"
