Lucas lowered the phone, his eyes landed on Linda's flushed face and reddened eyes. A nice scent wafted in the air, coming from her. It was the smell of the body wash provided by the hotel.

Lucas pursed his lips. Pushing the chair backward, he rose to his feet while saying, "Let me brew some tea and get some snacks. Wait here."

Kevin glanced at his elder brother, conveying his thanks through his eyes. Lucas just shrugged before disappearing back into the hotel room.
