Kara’s words were reassuring, as was the soft kiss upon his face. She wasn’t mad at him like his mind had tried to make him believe and he hadn’t messed things up completely. The day was still salvageable. All he had to do now was get through lunch with her family.
Grabbing his cane, Kaiba followed after her and exited the limo to see Mokuba bounding over towards them.
“Hey!” The younger brother cheerfully greeted. “Is everything okay between you two now?”
“Of course,” Kaiba casually replied as he hobbled beside his girlfriend and lazily wrapped an arm around her. Eyeing his brother, he asked, “Why wouldn’t it be?”
Mokuba simply pursed his lips and said nothing in return. His brother was clearly saving face for whatever had happened between him and Kara before the ride there. Judging by the look on the redhead’s face though, they seemed to have sorted things… for now at least.
“So…” Mokuba rocked back on his heels as he diverted his attention to speak with Kara instead. “Your brother and the twins were a little confused by the sudden change of destination. I don’t suppose you know why we’re having the picnic here instead of at the park?”
At overhearing his brother’s query, Kaiba had to bite down on his tongue so as not to intervene and thus appear controlling of the situation. His girlfriend could handle this on her own. She wouldn’t let slip his predicament and fact he was the cause behind it all… Would she?
