Luis felt elated the entire day after visiting with Sabrina's parents. Everyone got along broadly speaking and with a new camaraderie a mutual adoration emerged. Unexpectedly, however, upon returning to the suite everyone's bags sat packed and waiting.
"You're back." Jim declared as Caroline stared.
Luis grinned notwithstanding the surprise.
"What's going on?"
His father glared.
"We're leaving today or did you forget?"
His mother smirked.
"I've seen that look a thousand times..." she murmured. "What's on your mind?"
Luis sulked.
"I'm staying with Sabrina..." he insisted. "At least for now."
Caroline noted Jim's broad smile because he'd anticipated Luis's decision. Thus, his mother suddenly drew an envelope and gifted it to her son.
"We figured as much."
Luis was stunned by the gesture, but his parents adored Sabrina and knew he did too.
"Promise you'll call." His mother requested.
He hugged his parents.
"I promise and I can't thank you enough."
Jim arranged a hand on his shoulder.
"Above all else be careful."
Luis gazed upon a new return ticket.
"Sabrina will be thrilled."
Caroline gathered her belongings, but as everyone savored the moment Luis's phone reverberated. He initially thought it was Sabrina, but after rereading the message his attitude altered.
"Who is it?" Jim questioned.
Luis's eyes lifted.
"Jessica Solomon."
