"Exactly one week, as promised." Al said as he smiled at Cara.
The corner of her lip twitched as if to smile, but she turned away.
"Cara, can we talk?" Al asked as he reached out and grabbed her by the arm, stopping Cara from walking away.
Cara looked at Al tentatively then at Eric, as if asking him if she needed to be wary of his cousin or not.
"It's fine, actually I think you'll be happy with what Al has to say." Eric assured Cara as he grinned at her. "Don't worry, if he does something stupid, I'll drag him right out of the room."
Cara nodded and waved for them to enter.
"Sit." She told Al as she gestured towards the couch across her. "So what did you want to talk about?"
"I've been trying to negotiate with my dad." Al began.
"I know, my dad let me know that you were constantly trying to get your dad to let me out." Cara said.
She didn't show any hint that she was happy about Al's actions.
