Barrett and Diana reached them, and Barrett couldn't help but tease, "So, Chloe and Connor, you two hit it off as well, huh?"

Chloe replied with a touch of nonchalance, "It's just the prize for winning the cooking contest on the show."

Diana felt a wave of relief wash over her. She had been regretting her decision ever since she got on the plane with Barrett. She had never gone against Connor's wishes before and knew he was only looking out for her. She couldn't help but wonder if Connor would stop caring about her now.
