The trio gathered in the cozy cabin nestled in the heart of the countryside.
Skyler led Cornelia and Hannah inside. "Nelly, doesn't this place give you a sense of déjà vu?"
Cornelia looked around, taking in the neatly organized and homey interior. "It's got a similar vibe to your chalet in Nice, right? Though this one's quite a bit more spacious."
Skyler nodded, a touch of pride in her voice. "Yeah, I sketched the blueprints myself and had the craftsmen build it to spec."
Cornelia took Skyler's hand and squeezed it tightly. "Skyler, I can't even begin to tell you how overjoyed I am to see you again."
Hannah chimed in, "Me too."d2
Skyler smiled warmly. "Seeing both of you again makes me very happy too."
Cornelia opened her mouth, intending to ask Skyler about the past years, but she found herself unable to voice her queries. As she looked at Skyler now, so peaceful and serene, she realized she didn’t need to after all.
"Take a seat, you two. I'll brew us some tea." After inviting Cornelia and Hannah to sit down, Skyler prepared two cups of tea with her own hands and handed them over. "This is a local blend. Tell me what you think."
Hannah lifted the cup to her nose, inhaling the aroma before taking a delicate sip. "Steven loves his tea. I've never been a fan. No matter how fine the tea, it all tastes the same to me."
Skyler turned to Cornelia, who took a gentle sip under their watchful eyes, and then another. "I can't really tell good tea from bad, but this tastes fresh and slightly sweet."
