Scott and Cara met up at Krystal's after collecting their babies from the Miranda Centre.
Cara went to fetch their coffee's while Scott watched the kids. Holly was dozing in her buggy. Charlie was sitting up munching on a rusk watching Scott with eyes just like his mom; the same brown pupils and the same thick dark lashes.
Cara dropped the coffee down in front of Scott and took her seat.
"So are you going?" Cara asked taking a sip of her coffee.
"Erica's wedding? I'm still not sure…"
"You haven't got long to make up your mind. They wouldn't have invited you if they didn't want you to be there."
"Erica is only inviting me because of what she did to Madison. I'm not family. I hardly know her."
"And I do? I only got an invitation because my brother is dating Kendall."
"But Holly is so little. I'm not sure she old enough to take the flight, and I'll be away from Madison..."
"I'm not going to bring Charlie." said Cara. "And I'm not going for the full week. But it seems too good an opportunity to waste. An all expense paid trip to a tropical Island! Why would you say no. David's going be looking after Charlie while I'm away. I'm sure you could find someone to watch Holly for a few days. Marion and your dad; or Randi maybe."
"I don't know."
"Ryan is coming too with Emma…" said Cara
"But he is family. He was married to Jackson's daughter."
Cara reached across the table and grasped his hand.
"Don't get me wrong. I understand if you don't want to come but I think you could use the break. You're still looking stress. You've been through a lot lately. A week in the sun would do you the world of good."
Scott's eye drifted to Holly, still sleeping.
"I don't know." He said. "I'll think about it."
