Leonel cleared his throat, inquiring, “How's your relationship with that young man?”
Alexis sidestepped the question, neither confirming nor denying anything.

Leonel hesitated, unsure of how to proceed.
He felt too embarrassed to press further; doing so would appear desperate.

alone together once more.
With a final look, he silently turned away and left.
As Alexis watched him go in silence, she leaned against the door, a serene smile playing on her Lips.
