"Then I'll wear it tonight," Eileen said.
Leyla smiled warmly, her gaze affectionate. "You'll outshine even your mother," she said, patting Eileen's shoulder with tears in her eyes.
Eileen sought to steer Leyla away from growing too nostalgic, so she shifted the conversation. "Have you met Kinsey's wife yet?" she asked.
Leyla replied, "No, they're just putting on a show to affirm their loyalty so that I don't suspect Kinsey of marrying purely for business ties. His wife is merely a front-no need to do anything to her!" After a pause, she continued, "I've heard Kinsey will bring her here tonight. Don't be deceived; they have their motives for this banquet." Leyla's insights were sharper than Eileen's.
