Mila stepped back from Nathan's embrace. She felt awkward as she lowered her head.

Nathan's gaze was full of affection. He gently brushed the strands of hair on her cheek behind her ear.

Mila turned toward him happily. She asked, "Phoebe? Where is she?" Shortly after, Phoebe walked in. She respectfully nodded as she greeted, "Mr. Morrison. Mila."

Mila walked over and happily grabbed Phoebe's hand. She was pleased as she asked, "Phoebe, what are you doing here?"

Phoebe nodded, but her expression was slightly serious. She said to Nathan, "Mr. Morrison, I need to take Mila out for a bit."

"Bring Cole with you," Nathan said as he noticed Phoebe's grim expression. He was a bit worried.

Phoebe looked at Mila as if she was asking for her opinion.

Mila sensed Phoebe's dilemma, so she turned to Nathan and said, "Nate, we don't need Cole to protect us. I'm with Phoebe, we'll be safe.” Nathan knew Mila wouldn't budge, so even if he was worried, he didn't want to make things difficult for her.
