«I'm not confident enough to go without you. What if something happens and I don't know what to do?»
Lara thought about Nate's words for a while. In the end, she would also worry if she stayed far from her cubs for two days.
«All right, I will come along,» she said. «But I don't want to be in the way... The kids are too attached to me, and I want them to feel freer and meet other people. It's for their future, right?»
«We'll figure out something,» Nate said.
He smiled, as content as he could be. He extorted a third date with his mate. Even though he wouldn't admit it for anything in the world, he was keeping count of how often they met.
Even if the kids were with them, he was happy to be able to see Lara, to talk with her...
If only he was allowed to touch her, he wouldn't mind keeping the pups at his side forever. If only he could bring up marriage again without making Lara cry like that time...
