章 312: It Was Her Child

"You're leaving?" Eric commented as soon as he saw her climbing down the stairs, all dressed up and with her handbag in her hand.

"Ah, Yes," Natalie breathed, tugging her brunette hair behind her ear, the gesture catching his attention, "I need to look around the city. You know, get some air into my head and you know, it's been a long time since I was here. There's bound to be changes."

"Sure, there are," Eric confirmed her thoughts yet his gaze wouldn't leave her as he said, "Also, you look beautiful,"

"Thank you," Natalie smiled at him, color rushing to her face.

"Would you be free tonight?"

"Eh?"

"Since you wanted to look around, there are many pretty amazing places we could have dinner tonight. You're going to love it so please don't say no." He was hopeful.

Natalie pulsed her lips as if she was thinking over it and then nodded, "Sure, why not?" She gave in.
