Lunch went well, with all of them joking and laughing with each other. Cass was glad that they were outside, getting fresh air, and that everyone else seemed so relaxed as well. Even when they bickered, it never felt serious.
The heat had been taken out of their words and Cass was just happy that he got to experience it.
He was, however, anxious to get back to his work. For completely selfish reasons. He needed to see how the convincing was going, check in with Christopher and see how in danger he was from his grandfather, and from that window see if he could do anything with the boys before they left.
A quick date would be nice, something short and sweet, but he needed to be able to fit three dates into that timeline, and they needed to be appropriate to the men themselves. Cass was taking this very seriously, maybe too seriously because he got another warning nibble on his ear from Lucy.
