They both joined Crista and had some sandwiches to eat, during the time Crista couldn't stop smiling as she saw Craig joke and make both of them laugh. She sighed thinking what a nice guy he was, and how much she wished he would be younger to date her daughter. Maybe that way she wouldn't have to worry with whom she would be left once she was gone. She pushed those thoughts aside and tried to enjoy the moment, her daughter was going to turn 18 soon and she wanted her happy about it. "Are you going to be here for Bella's party tomorrow, Craig?" She asked him and he sighed.
"I just found out it is her birthday, I have to travel tomorrow back to Caleb and Meadow, they both need me, but I told Bella here, that I would compensate her for that, if it is ok with you of course..." He offered Crista a smile; Bella was blushing deeply.
