After a bit of hesitation, she decided to ditch the idea altogether.

Eloise completed the discharge procedures, grabbed her luggage to head home first, and then planned to return to the Crescendo Sound Workshop later that afternoon to get back to work.

Eloise gave them a slight nod, ready to leave. Aliza stopped her, speaking kindly, "Eloise, I have something to tell you."

Olga tugged at Aliza's sleeve, whining, "Mom, Max already broke up with her! What's there to talk about?"
