Nate was prompt, ready and waiting for Lorna at seven, at the parking lot of the ranch. He smiled as he waited for her, his bright green jeep of the eye searing color showing up well there. He smiled as he worked on some numbers for his new private venture. He had been working on patenting some things, and investing in some things, not much yet, and definitely not making money yet.
Lorna had a bag full of crochet project in hand as she walked out. The jeep was silly looking, and she laughed. She bounced over to him, smiling brightly. “Hey!”
“Hey! How are you?” He swept her into a hug and grinned. “How’s work and life treating you, groovy Auntie?” He smiled wider.
She hugged him back, laughing at him. “Good, except for the dreams. How about you, my darling nephew?”
Nate smiled at her. “Oh dream annoyance, terrorist annoyance, Wolverine annoyance. Same old same old.” He grinned wider. “Ready for first dinner?”
“Yeah.” Her expression fell and became moody when he mentioned the terrorists. “I’m ready for dinner.” She moved around to the passenger side of the jeep and got in.
Nate hugged her again, then slid around and slid in. “Come on, you.” He drove off, the car shimmering to a calm silver color and shape., and he drove quietly. “How have classes been?”
“Okay. The kids aren’t as enthusiastic about them as they were about the crochet classes, but they’re picking things up well enough. You’re starting college soon, aren’t you?”
“Oh yeah. Music and Art Double major. So far, things are good there. And starting a small business on the side…” He snapped his fingers. “Which reminds me. I have a question to ask.” He turned a corner and drove onward, knowing the restaurant was not far away.
“Are you interested in supporting charities and making a little money on the side?”
“Sounds like you’re busy. And obviously I’m interested in that, or I’d be working somewhere else.” Lorna said with a laugh. “Why?”
“We made a bunch of money for charities during our little tournament of oil wrestling, so we want to organize regular matches, both guy and girl leagues, and I want you to be part of it. “ He grinned at her.
Lorna giggled. “Sure. That sounds like fun. When did this happen?”
“We had a sort of spontaneous one a week or so ago, and now we want to organize, so… it is still happening ish in the future now.” He grinned at her. “If we can get enough people, and sponsors, we can make it a regular thing, with leagues.”
“That’ll be fun.” Lorna said with a snicker.
Nate grinned at her again as he parked outside the restaurant. “I think so.” He smirked. “Ready for some Greek fun?” Now he was really joking with her, knowingly.
Lorna made a face at him. “I think that’s still technically pseudo-incest.” She noted helpfully, before bouncing out of the car and toward the restaurant.
Nate snerked and walked with her, catching up and hugging her. “Details, details.” He smiled softly at her. She was the best.
… next to Cora, anyway.
He grinned as they went inside for first dinner!
