His next words made Eloise’s heart flutter with both hope and apprehension. “How about we tell them this week?” he suggested softly. While Eloise was touched by Kevin’s unwavering support, she couldn’t shake off her concerns about her father’s reaction. The thought of how to share this significant change in her life without jeopardizing their relationship weighed on her mind.
Eloise realized that confiding in her mother first was the best approach. She knew her mother had a unique understanding of her father’s temperament and might be able to help smooth the way for his approval. With this in mind, she arranged to meet her mother the morning after her engagement at her favorite quaint café, a perfect spot for intimate conversations over tea.
