As Christian walks back to his suite room at the hotel, his mind swirls with thoughts from the day's unexpected reunion with Alex. The cool evening air soothes his senses, but his thoughts are interrupted by the buzzing of his phone. Glancing at the screen, he sees Andrea's name flashing.
For a moment, Christian hesitates, his finger hovering over the accept call button. Memories of their tumultuous relationship flood his mind, and he feels a pang of uncertainty. Despite the passage of time, Andrea still has a way of stirring up old emotions within him.
With a sigh, Christian decides to send the call straight to voicemail. He's not ready to reopen old wounds or revisit the past, especially not tonight. Instead, he focuses on the rhythmic sound of his footsteps echoing against the tiled floor as he makes his way down the hallway.
