Capítulo 115: The answer to everything

Nate called Lara that same evening. He had to make sure she accepted before letting his mind work on where to bring her after the party.

It was supposed to be an informal event, so they wouldn't be bothered by the press all the time. Also, cocktail parties were usually a calm environment where to introduce a girlfriend.

Oh, but could he even call her that? She did accept to date, but she never said anything more. They didn't go out just for fun yet: it had always happened by chance, with the pups, or because they needed to talk alone. Never once had he brought her to a nice place where they could be alone and enjoy some time together.

«Hello,» her voice greeted him. She didn't look angry or bothered. It meant he could hope she accepted, couldn't he?

He had messed up when he kept his identity hidden, for he really thought it wasn't all that relevant, but it all ended up ruining their growing relationship.
