Evelyn heard her mobile ring and she answered it when she saw it was Victoria calling her.
"Hi darling," Victoria greeted her best friend. "How's my mini-me?" She asked in reference to Evelyn's two year old.
"She's good," Evelyn smiled. "Spencer and Tori are at nursery school right now. How are yours?"
"Good, good. Still can't believe my Brooklyn has a girlfriend."
"I know," Evelyn gushed. "But they're just so cute. Is she going with you all on your family vacation next week?"
"She is," Victoria let out a sigh. "To be honest, I'm a wee bit nervous."
"Why?" Evelyn asked in concern.
"This is the first time one of his girlfriend's is coming with us. You know? They've always been just us."
"Well, I can't speak from experience seeing as my kids are all under the age of six. But I can imagine that she's just as nervous if not more so as you are."
"Really? What makes you say that?"
"Think about it. There's six of you and only one of her. Just try to make her feel welcome like I know you will."
"Thanks Evelyn," Victoria let out a sigh of relief. "You always know the right thing to say."
"Anything for you, love," Evelyn smiled even though the brunette couldn't see her.
"Whilst I have you on the mobile," Victoria began as she looked over at some of her Victoria Beckham Beauty products that were in a gift bag. "I'm coming out with some new skincare products that are going to be part of my line. I was wondering if you would like to try them before I release to the public?"
"Really?" Evelyn asked with excitement. "I would love that! D'you want to meet up somewhere or have me come by your place?"
"Come by my place! I have a facials here so she can demonstrate how they feel on you."
"Okay, I'll be there soon! See you in a few."
"Drive safe," Victoria told her and they hung up.

Victoria opened the door and greeted the duchess. Emma had done a quick look around the house to make sure it was safe and allowed the duchess to go in.
Whilst Evelyn had the morning off, William was at an engagement with the charity - BeatBullying.
"How is the Duchess doing?" A well-wisher asked the Prince as he shook her hand.
"She's doing much better, thank you," William smiled at her.
The president for the charity greeted the prince as she curtsied to him and they fell into a short conversation before he followed her in with his team.
