Clarisse was completely stunned, unable to process his words. Did he just say... he wanted her and Agente to live with him in LA?
Such a dream was something she never dared to hope for during the four years he was in LA. She knew he didn't like her or their marriage, so she never imagined he would want her by his side.
She stood there staring at his calm face, taking a long time to recover from the shock. When she finally did, her first reaction was to bite her lip and ask,
"But what about Catherine?"
If she and Agente went to LA, what would happen to his first love, Catherine?
Jonathan knew what she wanted to say and cut her off gently before she could finish,
"You won't be put in a difficult position. I'll take care of everything."
No grand promises were needed; this assurance alone was enough to move Clarisse deeply. She chose to believe him, believing that if he said it, he would make it happen.
