Chapter 100 In-Laws

• And just like Clara’s team predicted, they finished their installation by lunchtime on Thursday. To celebrate their early finish date, Clara brought everyone to the street food market that Sebastian invited her to on their first date. She purchased food tickets so they could all go around and exchange them for any food or drink they wanted.
• She sat at the table to reserve it for the group. She observed as everybody got excited about getting their food. They had the same excitement she had the first time she was here, but she was tired. She talked to Celine way into the night, long after Baz had gone to sleep. The siblings kept whispering and giggling like little school girls, that they got scolded by Sebastian to go to bed. They moved to the sofa and fell asleep wrapped around each other like they never wanted to let go because if they did, the other would be gone in the morning.
• Celine begged to stay at the hotel until noon. She wanted to get more sleep, and now Clara wished she did the same. A day off would have been nice, but she had an appointment with Sebastian’s mom and dad to get their opinion about approaching her actual parents. The more she thought about it, the more nervous she got. Thinking that maybe her parents would get mad at her if they knew she was seeking other people’s help instead of telling them the truth herself outright. But she needed someone’s help to invite her parents over to ensure that she didn’t send them into a heart attack with her news.
