#125 “We’ve Hit A Rough Patch Lately.”

In the morning, Sophia and Evelyn decided to switch things up and opted for breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Their morning feast was a culinary delight, and both reveled in the exquisite flavors that graced their plates.

As they were finishing their coffee, Sandro casually joined them. Sophia found his company pleasant, and she was genuinely enjoying the insights and guidance from a local to navigate the town.

Sandro inquired, “Does Kyle know you’re here?” addressing Evelyn.

“Nope, I haven’t told him.” Evelyn chuckled.

“I assumed so because otherwise he would have called me and warned me that you would be coming. I was going to arrange a proper welcome for you and…”

“You’ve already done more than enough for us. Thanks a lot,” Evelyn expressed her gratitude.

Sophia took a sip of her coffee, casting a thoughtful look at Evelyn. “Don’t you think it’s time to tell him? I know you two had a spat, but keeping this a secret might make things worse.”

Evelyn pondered for a moment before responding, “Maybe you’re right.”

“Tell him where you are; he has the right to know you met his cousin. Besides, you wouldn’t want to harbor more secrets between you two, would you?” Sophia suggested.

Evelyn nodded in agreement. Retrieving her phone from her purse, she dialed Kyle’s number, preparing to share the encounter with Sandro. The phone rang for a moment before Kyle’s voice came through.

“Hey, honey.”

“Hello, dear. I’m calling you because I wanted for us to talk.”

“Do you want to go out tonight? How about dinner and…”

“Actually, I can’t, and that’s why I’m calling you. I wanted to tell you that I am in Vegas with Sophia.”
