After arriving home, Eliza parked the van and promptly headed to her office, instructing the girls to follow once they were ready. The girls filed in two by two, and as the final duo stepped into the grand, luxurious office, she instructed them to shut the door and take their seats.

"Ladies, please come in and take a seat. We will start organizing who will attend to whom during our visitors' stay," she announced. Erin raised her hand.

"Eliza, may I take Adam?" Laughter rippled around the table.

"What?!" she exclaimed. "I felt a connection with him at the arena; I like him." Another wave of laughter followed. Eliza shook her head, smiling at her sister.

"Erin, you're welcome to choose Adam but keep in mind that there are others to consider. Chance, Austin, Darren, and Luke also need our attention, not just Adam."

As soon as Darren's name was mentioned, Cecelia raised her hand to ask a question.

"Eliza, may I help Darren? Also, Morgan and Hardy will be arriving shortly."

"We'll see. It's your request after all, so anything could happen," Eliza remarked with a smile and a wink to her newest colleague.

"Now, for their accommodations. I'm considering placing him and Chance in the small lodge; they're said to be fond of fishing, which should delight them. Adam, Cerise, Rob, Tim, and Jenika could each occupy a lodge. Darren, Luke, and Nate would be suited for the three presidential suites, while Hardy has already been assigned his room here. These are my preliminary thoughts; I'll present the plan to everyone upon their arrival."

"Now, I think it's time we went and prepared the lodges and rooms for our guest," was the suggestion that received a loud response.

"YES BOSS!!!!" 

"Well, OK then, let's get to it," they said, and with that, they all departed from Eliza's office, fully cognizant of their tasks. Following the meeting, the girls dispersed to tackle their respective assignments.

Meanwhile, Eliza, Elena, and Erin stayed in the office to create an entertainment schedule designed to captivate the gentlemen during their visit.

"So, how long will they be staying with us?" asked Elena.

"If they're here for a while, perhaps they'd enjoy putting on a concert." Eliza nodded 

"But we'll need to wait and ask them how they feel about that, Erin."

"Yes, sis?"

"How is your song progressing, the one Hardy wrote? Do you believe Cece will perform it with him?"

"Do you mean 'Thank God'?" Erin replied.

"Yes, that one"

"Well Eliza, it's finished. I can ask her, and given Cece's nature, she would be happy to do it."

"I'll still ask her," said Elena. "Erin and I heard her sing; she's excellent."

"Now, we need to organize a mini concert for them and, hopefully," she interlaced her fingers tightly, 

"We can persuade the guys to play a few songs as well," she continued, clasping her hands even more firmly as she smiled brightly at her sisters.

"Erin," Eliza chuckled, the beginning of the statement echoing Elena's words from their journey to the arena.

"These gentlemen are exceptionally adaptable, and you're likely to be pleasantly surprised. Their producer, Darren Rust, is also a seasoned singer with over 30 years of experience."

Erin's expression became a vivid mosaic of emotions upon hearing those words.

"HOLD ON!!!!" Erin exclaimed, shaking her head and raising her right hand in protest. 

"Hold on, are you telling me that these Home Free guys are produced by another singer?" Eliza and Elena laughed.

"Then we should have Darren perform a few songs with the band. It would be great to hear how his voice harmonizes with theirs."
