Chapter 145

As Rayna drove through the gate of the estate where Evelyn's new home was located, she cruised down the road slowly so she could appreciate the serene and beautiful environment. As she parked her car outside Evelyn's new home, she smiled, impressed with Evelyn's choice. Grabbing the tray of appetizers and a box of desserts, she made her way to the door. Evelyn greeted her with a wide smile, opening the door before Rayna could knock. "Ray! You made it!" she exclaimed, pulling her into a warm hug.

"Of course I did! You know I wouldn't miss this for the world." Rayna stepped back, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "This neighborhood is amazing, by the way. You've really outdone yourself." Evelyn laughed, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "I'm just glad everything came together. I've been running around like crazy since we moved in, but it's finally starting to feel like home."

Rayna looked around as she stepped inside, admiring the high ceilings and the warm, inviting decor. "It's gorgeous, Evie. Truly. I love the open system kitchen," she said with approval. And here, I brought some sweet little treats," she said, and Evelyn grinned. "Thanks. Derek would certainly love these. Come on in," Evelyn said, and she took the box of desserts from her as they headed towards the kitchen.

"Where's Derek?" Rayna asked, glancing around as she set the tray of appetizers down on the dining.

"He's on his way. Got caught up with a meeting, but he should be here soon," Evelyn replied as she opened the box of desserts and set them on the counter.

"You've got enough food here to feed an army, Rayna!" Evelyn teased, eyeing the array of treats her friend had brought.

"Well, I figured you'd be too busy to bake anything," Rayna grinned. "Plus, it's your housewarming, so I had to go all out."

Evelyn shook her head with a chuckle. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Exactly as you did for six years without me," she said dryly, and Evelyn giggled.

"You're never going to let go of that, I suppose," Evelyn said, and Rayna nodded.
