The rest of the morning, after the two of them fooled around, passed smoothly without Lucas doing anything too outrageous. Jen called and asked her mother if she would need a ride there, but Diane refused, saying that she couldn't make Lucas drive her to the restaurant they were going to meet.
Jen compromised and said that she would go with her but Diane still refused so she had to ask Lucas if he could arrange transport for her mother.
Lucas, of course, did not refuse and promptly arranged for someone to come and pick her up when the time came.
The two of them ate breakfast as Jen animatedly talked to him about the plans for the engagement party that was going to happen in two days Lucas had a faint smile as he watched her describe everything that was going to happen and asked himself why she did not want to have the wedding sooner if she was going to act excited about everything.
