Emma, pretending to be surprised by the question, answered with a hint of humor, "Yes, girl. Home."

This response prompted laughter from Georgina, and she playfully shook her head. "You never cease to amaze me," she remarked.

Emma, always quick with a witty reply, grinned and said, "I know, girl," maintaining their light-hearted banter.

Georgina couldn't help but smile at Emma's playful response. It was moments like these that reminded her of the strong bond they shared. She sat up slowly, being careful not to disturb Sofia, who was still peacefully sleeping.

    As Georgina continued to gently rock Sofia in her arms to soothe her cries, she turned to Emma, seeking her thoughts on the situation. She asked, "What do you think will happen between Lorenzo and Agent Gabriel?"Emma, who was sitting beside her and sorting through some of Sofia's clothes, replied, "Lorenzo will confront Agent Gabriel for sure. If there's one thing I know about my brother, it's that he doesn't hide his feelings, and Agent Gabriel will get some of it."Georgina paused for a moment, reflecting on what Emma had just said about Lorenzo. Then she inquired further, "Do you think their clash will be something serious?"Emma, still focused on her task, replied reassuringly, "I hope not. Come on now, Georgina.

I understand you're worried, but you really need to trust and believe me, Georgina. You are safe here more than you even think."Georgina felt a hint of confusion. She wondered about Lorenzo's words, "You are safe here more than you even think." What did he mean by that?
