Let Me Stay The Night

After hanging up the phone, Christina walked up to them and asked, “Camila, Lucas, Mommy is going to take you two to a different place first, okay?”

“What is that place?” Camila looked at Christina curiously with her eyes wide.

“Is it fun?” Lucas asked.

“Yeah. We’re going to meet a lady and have a little chat with her,” Christina said.

“Okay,” Lucas said on behalf of them both.

“All right.”
