Then, almost as an afterthought, Cesar added, "If you want to come along, that is. It's okay."
Sebastian nodded slowly. "Fine."
Everyone moved at once, Victor, Mom, and I headed toward the family room to figure out what we'd do next. Watch a movie, play a game, just chill...whatever.
Meanwhile, Cesar, Sebastian, and Leonard walked off toward Leonard's office.
As soon as the door clicked shut behind them, I turned toward my mom.
"What is it now?" I asked, irritation slipping into my voice. "Hasn't Leonard already talked to Sebastian? What more could he possibly want?"
My mom gave me that calm, motherly look, the one that tried to soothe me but only made me more anxious.
"Don't worry so much, honey," she said gently. "I'm sure Sebastian can take care of himself. They're not going to gang up and hit him or anything. Maybe just ask a few questions."
I narrowed my eyes. "You think Cesar's just curious about what Sebastian wants from me?"
