Isaac frowned slightly as he replied, "We're outside."
"Where?" James pressed—there was no helping it, since Erin was complaining about being bored when they were supposed to spend the day together.
She then suggested visiting Irene and taking Tommy outside to play, only to arrive at their lodgings to find it empty.
Isaac asked in return, "You have a lot of free time today, huh?"
James was a little speechless—he should indeed be spending time together with his new bride.
He could not help sighed feebly as he glanced at Erin as she drove beside him, since she really preferred it lively.
"Pretty much," he chuckled.
Isaac gave him the address. "Come over. I happen to have something to tell you."
"Okay," James replied cheerfully.
As soon as he lowered his phone, Erin asked impatiently, "Where did they go? They should stay at home…"
James turned toward her. "What, are they supposed to wait there for you?"
Erin smiled—it was just bad phrasing.
Still, James told her where they went, after which she frowned and grumbled "What are they doing there out in the wild? I mean, I've been there myself, but there's just a lake and nothing else. And they even brought the kids there..."
While she was left perplexed, James told her, "Don't get distracted. Eyes on the road."
Erin pouted. "I'm riding shotgun once you're better."
"Fine," James chuckled.
With that, they drove steadily on and alighted as they arrived, when they smelled the scent of food even before they saw anyone.
"Why is there a smoky smell?" Erin asked, a little confused, though James had a hunch.
That was when Erin saw people behind the words and started to hurry when she remembered that James could not walk that well yet.
