Michael led the way, followed by Wendy with Jake in tow. Todd, carrying Leah in his arms, walked behind Wendy.
Seeing that Michael had walked further ahead, Wendy slowed down her pace and moved closer to Todd, whispering, "Did he give you a hard time in the car?" Wendy had to ask, not sure if Michael would act up with Todd.
"No, he didn't. In fact, we had a pleasant chat." Todd replied.
Noticing that the footsteps behind him were getting fainter, Michael turned around instinctively. Seeing Wendy and Todd walking shoulder to shoulder and chatting, he scowled.
Retracing his footsteps, he looked first at Wendy before smiling at Todd, "This is a reputable restaurant in Lake City. Their signature dish, the roast duck, is sublime.
You must try it, Mr. Lewis."
"Sure!" Todd responded politely.
