Avery met his eyes and asked, “Have you been waiting out here this entire time?”

Elliot had no comment.

If he were not waiting for her, he would have left a long time ago.

Elliot shot a look over to the parking lot, then said, “She‘s in the car.”

“I see... You two go ahead! My mom cooked, so we‘re going home for lunch,” Avery said, declining his offer without hesitation.
