«That's why we should know each other better,» Nate said, leaning back on his chair. He smiled at Lara, trying to look reassuring.
«We should discuss what to do next,» she said. «But we can't be family just like this.»
«I agree. As a starter, we should discuss. What do you think about tomorrow? At dinner.»
«Yes, sure,» she sighed, already wondering how much meat she should be buying. She was currently jobless, and that man, inviting himself over, wasn't helping.
Her finances weren't as bad; she would have been able to afford another dinner or two. But then she would need to find a job.
«You can come to my place. Or we can go out to a restaurant,» Nate added, making it clear he wasn't leeching off.
«Scarlet and Jaden aren't ready to eat out,» she said.
«Then let's go alone, you and me.»
«And what should I do with them? Leave them alone?»
It was one thing if she went to work. It couldn't be helped. But she wouldn't start leaving her cubs defenceless to go out and have fun.
