Hazel found him sitting casually with four girls, sipping tea as they chatted animatedly.
Around them were several large pieces of luggage, their placement and the lively conversation suggesting they were preparing to leave for a trip soon.
The cheerful buzz of the room came to an abrupt halt when Hazel and Althea stepped into the expansive living room, the attention of everyone shifting toward the newcomers.
"So, you must be Hazel—Althea's big sister. I'm April. I'm the one who answered your call earlier," April said, rising gracefully from her seat.
Her confident demeanor was evident as she approached Hazel and extended her hand.
"Hazel Quinn. Pleased to meet you, April," Hazel replied, shaking her hand firmly.
As she did, she couldn't help but notice how stunning April was, with her radiant features and polished presence.
In fact, all the girls in the room were breathtakingly beautiful, each exuding their own unique charm.
