She couldn't resist the charming look in Charles's eyes.

So Nancy said, "Yes, we never fought. We're good. Very good!"

The two kids smiled contently and continued to eat.

"Are you still worried about him?" Charles asked.

Did something happen to him?

Charles was also curious in all honesty. Why hadn't he heard anything from him yet?

Was something really wrong?

Maybe he just fled the city?
