Sanders Mansion.
At midnight, the two brothers and Eliana sat on the balcony with cans of beer beside them.
"Ryan, do you really not have a girlfriend?" Eliana asked, as she opened another can of beer.
Ryan laughed and replied, "Does having a friend with benefits count?"
Zach chuckled and shook his head. "Just ensure she knows that she is nothing more than a friend with benefits."
"Why? Maybe they could fall in love," Eliana said.
Zach laughed and said, "Ryan's last friend with benefits ended up obsessing over him, and Mother had to take a drastic step to get her off his back."
"I love the way your mother is always available to clean up you guys mess," Eliana said, taking a sip of her beer.
"Yeah, she is a superwoman indeed," Ryan said with a sigh. He glanced briefly at Eliana, who was opening her fourth can of beer, and asked, "Any message from the surrogacy agency?"
