"So, what would you like for dinner?" Kathleen asked loud enough for every one of her colleagues, who were on their way home, to hear.
Pete couldn't help wondering what had suddenly taken over Kathleen as they walked over to the car.
"Daddy, Kat promised to make something delicious. I want to learn how to cook, too. Can I cook with her?" Amanda asked excitedly, making Pete frown.
Was this a planned work? He knew his daughter well enough that he wouldn't put such a thing past her.
"I'd rather you surprise us," Pete said, deciding to play along with whatever Kathleen was up to.
Hopefully, that would prevent her from bringing up the issue of her stolen lunch.
He could see most of the staff whispering amongst themselves, and he didn't need to be an expert to know Kathleen was trying to give them something to talk about.
