Kruz hung up the phone and, with a cautious tone, asked Connor and Flora, "Hey, bro, Flora, mom's wondering if you guys want to head back to the Falcone family."

Connor didn't answer right away. Instead, he glanced at Flora, seeking her input with just a look.

Kruz relayed Connor's decision, then hung up and sat up excitedly, grinning at Connor. "Looks like we're heading in the same direction now, bro!"
