At Dave and Laurent's son's baby shower, the first to leave was Leonardo.
He claimed he had another shoot with his crew and slipped away early.
Vivian and Zoey Marylin stayed behind until the party was nearly over, then quietly went to the lounge to chat with Laurent. Frank left on his own too—he knew Vivian would be surrounded by her sisters, and honestly had no clue how long their conversation would last.
That left only Karl at the table. But Karl remained calm, sitting through until the very last guests had departed.
As for Mr. Mos and Linda, Dave had already arranged for the driver to take them home, so Karl stayed behind.
When Dave returned after dropping off the guests, he found Karl lingering outside Laurent's lounge, pacing slightly.
"Why haven't you left yet? Something else to do?" Dave asked, puzzled.
Karl didn't hide his intentions.
"Dave, can you do me a favor and call Marylin for me?"
