"Thank you, but let's wait until after your competition is done," Nina replied graciously. She appreciated Jamie's kindness but was thoughtful enough to acknowledge Jamie's current commitments. By the time they left, the sun had set. Charlie was bursting with excitement on the ride home, chattering non-stop about everything that had happened that day.

"It sounds like you and Orion really hit it off. Should we come back more often?" Jamie asked, her tone lighthearted.

Jamie ruffled his hair affectionately, her heart full of warmth. "I'm glad you've found a good friend. I'll make sure we visit more often." She hoped Charlie's companionship would help Orion heal from his loss. When they arrived home, Ben was already waiting at the door.

"Waiting for what?" Jamie asked, stepping inside with him.

Ben chuckled softly. "To celebrate your win, of course."
