Eric could guess that she was curious about his conversation with Pete, "Yeah. We were sitting next to each other on the plane. I even said I was going to invite him and Kathleen over for dinner only if it was okay with you," he said, turning to look at Kimberly.
Dinner? "Wasn't it awkward, since you know about us? What exactly did you both talk about? And why did you think of such a dinner invitation?" Kimberly asked as she shifted in her seat uncomfortably, making Eric smile at her fondly as he stopped in front of his gate and honked the car horn.
"You don't have to be uncomfortable talking about this with me. He apologized for taking advantage of you and said he owed you an apology too. I think he is a nice guy, and I wanted us to invite them over because of your friendship with Kathleen. She is a nice person and I like her."
"Yes, she is. I like her too, but I don't know if I can be comfortable around him," Kimberly confessed with a slight frown.
