At the penthouse, Devon’s eager to see the photos Noah took of Tessa. Noah’s not used to having to preview his art while in the middle of creating it. Devon would hate for him to waste time if it’s not what he’s looking for.

Chef Pamela’s going to make us one of everything on the menu, Abby chatters to Dominic. Chance? Is that really you? Mariah’s stunned (Tessa behind her)
Mariah didn’t expect Chance to be out so soon. He’s so sorry about her ordeal and that he wasn’t here to protect her. Abby and Chance express their appreciation. She’ll send over samples of the new menu (my treat) After the couples part ways, Mariah asks Tessa if Chance seemed a bit off.
