Catherine found that strange and stuck her head out of the kitchen. "Camping? Where?"
Luke said, "The mountains close to grandpa's place. I want a bit of peace and quiet."
Catherine gave an "oh" of surprise. "Alright, you can take dinner with you."
Luke had often gone camping in middle school, but most of the time, that had been with Jimena. Now that Jimena was at college, the question was who Luke was going camping with.
But Catherine could ask that later; there was no need to immediately be a nag about it. She simply told Luke to be careful.
Accepting dinner from Catherine, Luke hugged her and said goodbye before he left in his car.
Standing in front of the house, Catherine watched his car disappear down the road.
She was about to go back inside, when a car drove up and a head stuck out. "Hello, Catherine. Is Luke here?"
Catherine smiled and shook her head. "Hello, Selina. He just left to go camping. He went in that direction."
