A rare occurrence

He came by unexpectedly early, so they both decide to drop by for lunch. Parents, siblings and grandma are already stuffing pancakes down in Paddington's when she walks up with him. He sits down opposite the dad, she sit at the table end besides them both. Those are the only available places. Dad runs through the usual questions. He answers, smiles and laughs in the proper places. She smiles and laughs along, adding teasing comments to smooth things out. Lunch finishes, they both amble off together to chat over coffee in Starbucks. Almost two hours later, she has to go back to do some work so he offers to drop her back. But they stop by Carrefour for him to pick up a few items first. Back home, she makes some quick calls. Then they go for a walk with April down to the lake.

A leisurely, golden afternoon spent at The Curve and lakeside park makes for a great time together.

As for me? Well. I shopped there alone and then drove back. Two tops in pretty colours and a skirt.
Damage: $110. I'm very pleased with that accomplishment.
