#141 “Can you dance?”

As the routine airport checks winded down, Evelyn couldn’t stop yawning. The weariness from their eventful trip was catching up with her.

“God, I was dying to sleep,” she admitted, rubbing her eyes.

“On my plane, there’s a separate room where you can lie down and rest,” Alexander said, his voice offering a hint of comfort.

“Oh wow, we were going to be on your private jet?” Evelyn scowled.

“Why not? Having it, at least I could use it,” grinned Alexander, a touch of playful pride in his response.

“Sophia, keep this boy safe at all costs, “Evelyn teased, throwing a knowing glance at Sophia.

Sophia playfully poked her friend on the arm to silence her, and the three burst out laughing, the airport bustling around them.

During the final inspection, Sophia thought about something and frowned slightly.

“What’s wrong?” Alexander asked, recognizing the thoughtful expression on her face.

“What are we going to do with that selfie we took at Lisa’s restaurant? Megan is going to freak out,” Sophia said thoughtfully, her mind racing with considerations.

“I say we wait until we find information on Megan, and then I upload it,” Alexander suggested a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Sophia nodded, acknowledging the wisdom in his proposal, and proceeded through the metal detector. At that moment, Alexander’s phone beeped with a new message.

Alexander looked at the text and started laughing. He laughed so hard that Sophia turned to see what was going on.
