Max noticed Luke talking to Mathias.
"Dad," he called as he approached him.
Both men turned and saw Max and Mila walking toward them.
Max leaned closer to his father and lowered his voice. "Mila isn't feeling well. I'm taking her home. We came to say goodbye first."
Concern flickered across Luke's face as he looked at Mila. "What happened to her?"
"Pregnancy exhaustion," Max replied. "She just needs some rest."
"What is it, young man?" Mathias asked curiously. "Is everything alright?"
"Everything is fine," Luke answered before Max could speak. "He simply came to remind me of something."
"And what would that be?" Mathias asked, growing more intrigued.
"A big announcement."
Max and Mila exchanged puzzled glances.
Luke then turned toward Max. "I was planning to announce it tonight. Now seems like the perfect time."
Max immediately grabbed his father's arm and whispered urgently, "But we want to leave."
