"Are you going to see Jones?" Lisa's brow furrowed.
"Yes, I need to talk to him about something. He's back in the city, so I'm planning on heading there."
I didn't go into detail, but given Lisa's keen intuition, I was sure she grasped the gist of the situation.
She remained silent, her eyes reflecting a complex mixture of emotions.
After a moment, Lisa finally spoke again. "Well, I guess we should head out together then."
"What about Catherine?" I asked.
"She will go back for work. Leo's got school there," Lisa replied.
I nodded, relieved that Catherine wasn't going to the city. The last thing I wanted was her stirring up
trouble while I was trying to have a serious conversation with Jones.
Lisa and I each scooped up a child and left the room, notifying the hotel staff on our way out that we were checking out. Catherine and Leo were already waiting for us in the hotel lobby.
