The car rolled into the Sunset Ridge Community, coming to a gentle stop in front of the apartment complex. Carrying a hefty load, Charles and Gilbert made their way together.

Sophia greeted them at the door, "Mr. Johnson, what brings you here...?"

"Sophia." Gilbert offered a smile, setting down the bags he carried. "Just dropping off some treats for Jenna."

"That's quite a bit."

"Well..." Gilbert seemed distracted, his gaze wandering past Sophia.

Noticing his demeanor, Sophia said, "Jenna's mom is giving her a bath right now. They just started, and it might take a while. Jenna loves her bath time." "I see..."

Disappointment washed over Gilbert, realizing he wouldn't get to see the mother and daughter.

"I'll just leave these here then, and be on my way."

"Alright, take care on your way out."

After closing the door, Sophia headed back to the bathroom.

"It was Mr. Johnson," Sophia replied, "brought over a bunch of goodies."
