After breakfast, Jonathan headed to the office, while Estelle took Norah and Henson to play tennis.

Arriving at the gym, Norah's eyes lit up when she spotted Xavier lounging in the rest area. She whispered excitedly to Estelle, "Did you arrange for him to be here?"

Estelle gave her an encouraging look, signaling, "Seize the moment!"

Norah was so thrilled she almost hugged Estelle and lifted her off the ground. Henson frowned and advised, "Keep it cool, maintain some decorum!"

Norah took his advice to heart, albeit reluctantly, and managed to calm her excitement.

Without much ado, he held up his racquet, "Fancy a game?"

Henson quickly chimed in, "I'm teaming up with Ms. Macclain. She's got my back!"

Norah shot Henson a grateful look, thankful he hadn't called Estelle by her first name as he usually did. Today, probably mindful of her budding relationship with Xavier, he opted for a more formal address.

Xavier turned to Norah, "As long as you don't lose to Henson, I promise not to let Estelle win against us."
