"So I'm allowed to go out after school with other friends?" Cara asked, making Al glance at Eric.
He didn't know if his cousin had plans and didn't want to force him to change his schedule.
"Don't worry, I don't have anywhere to go." Eric said as he smiled at his cousin. He knew that Al wanted to give Cara space to trust him and that he could only achieve that if he let Cara hangout with her other friends.
"Actually." Cara said tentatively as she looked down at her feet. "I was wondering if you would both come along."
Al raised an eyebrow.
He was shocked that Cara invited him. Was she really so quick to forgive him?
"Are you sure?" Al asked her as he waited for Cara to take back her offer.
Cara looked around, making sure that no one was nearby to hear their conversation.
