So yeah, i guess?" Still unaware of the full situation between his father and Doreen, Peter was simply thinking that it was getting late and he would've liked to at least hear from his dad. Giving it some extra thought... he jumped upwards and extended his hand to Ben so he could rise as well. "Wanna call them? I don't think aunt LaLa would mind."

Tons of lovely chatter later... the food was done, glasses of beverage almost empty... and chemistry flowing... The night was perfect. Erik stood from his chair and took Doreen's hand, pulling her gently towards the restaurant's windows above the water. Leaning forward on the windowsill, he kept his gaze fixed on Doreen.
