Ten minutes later, Estelle and Jonathan arrived at Carson's villa. It wasn't just the two of them-Magdalen, Morrison, and Josiah were there too.

What had been a quiet evening quickly buzzed to life again.

Estelle and Magdalen high-fived over their seamless coordination, with Magdalen lavishing praise on Marina for thoughtfully preparing late-night snacks for everyone. Morrison and Jonathan exchanged a look, a kind of "sorrow" only men could understand twinkling in their eyes.

Carson laughed, "You all should thank me; I went through a lot of trouble to get all this stuff!"

Josiah chimed in with a laugh, "My brother said he's not coming because Kya fell asleep, but he wants ten scallops and a lobster to take back to him later."

"And what about your Goddess Amiee?" Carson asked.

"She's out with her team; I'll just take a portion back for her," Josiah replied, chuckling.

Carson facepalmed, "Looks like I'll be grilling till sunrise!"

Laughter filled the air as everyone gathered around, the feast and drinks ready, marking the start of the late-night feast.

Charlie had just put Kya to sleep and was waiting in the upstairs lounge for Emily to finish her shower. Taking her hand as she came out, he asked softly, "What was the deal with Susanna today?"
