It was the first time Phoenix told Mia and Tiana about herself, her childhood and her sincere feelings towards them.
They knew it was an arduous task for Phoenix to bare her heart open like that.
Mia was happy that Phoenix seemed to truly accept her and Tiana as her friends. Don't get her wrong, they are friends, but the reservation that Phoenix put up sometimes could frustrate them.
Tiana and Mia release Phoenix after they have a friendly hug and attract weird gazes from other customers in the cafe.
"All right, Phoenix. Has Brother asked you to our family BBQ gathering this weekend at our house?" "Sis Tiana, you'll also be coming with Brother Ethan, right?" Mia inquired, turning to Tiana at her side.
Tiana bobbed her head while putting a spoonful of cake in her mouth.
