Lindsay entered and said, "Good work, Sam and Quinn."
Both of them looked at them at the same time, only seeing her just then since they were busy with work.
Sam was surprised. "When did you come by, Mom?"
"Your dad insisted on coming, so I came with him."
"Dad's here too?" Sam frowned.
"He was persistent and I couldn't stop him," Linda said with a smile. "I told him that he only gets two hours, though. He's leaving once the time is up."
"Is he feeling better?" Quinn asked in concern.
"The doctors said he's mostly fine, but I'm still worried given the precedent."
"Yeah, he should rest more." Quinn nodded and quickly asked, "Would you like a drink? I'll have my secretary bring it for you."
"No, I just came to check on you," Lindsay said mildly. "I won't impose either—you should get back to work."
When Quinn got up to walk with her, she stopped Quinn. "No, you can stay. I'm just sightseeing anyway. Also, you should come by tonight for dinner. It's Marvin's sixtieth birthday soon, and I'd like to make it a grander celebration to bring in more cheer, especially with your dad having a close shave recently."
"Yeah." Sam agreed.
Quinn nodded. "I'll have Sam leave work earlier too."
"Good. Don't forget about it now—I'll have Mrs. Watson cook a feast."
