T20: Voicing Concerns.
The family sat at the table, their plates and glasses now empty, having eaten breakfast and drunken their orange juice. Cameron, Leo, Rocco had returned and were back in their chairs, dressed for outside, with Mickey lying down on the floor by his now empty dog-bowl, having eaten the rest of his bacon. Lulu and Dustin had left the dining-room after finishing their breakfast and had gone back upstairs to their rooms.
There was one funnel-cake left on a plate reserved for Lulu.
"Great breakfast, Grandma." Cameron said.
"Thanks, sweetie." Monica said.
"See you when we come in." Cameron said before he, Leo and Rocco got out of their chairs and ran out of the dining-room, heading for the backyard, with Mickey getting to his feet and following after them.
"What a beautiful day." Said Lulu as she came back into the dining-room, wearing orange lipstick, orange eyeshadow, a short orange quarter-length-sleeve sequin dress with orange sequin high heel shoes.
"Hello, again, Lulu. I saved the last of your favorite dessert for you: Funnel-cake." Monica said.
"Oh, thanks you, Monica, but i'm trying to stay thin. I'll just grab an apple from the kitchen. I'm watching my figure these days." Lulu said.
"What are you all dressed up for?" Alice asked.
"Nothing, Alice. Just a day out on the town with Dustin. Sight-seeing around Tofte for four hours, listening to music on the radio and talking to each other." Lulu said.
"Mm-hm." Brooklyn said.
"When you use to go on sight-seeings here with Dante, you always wore regular out-door clothes." Olivia said.
"Well, Dustin has made me realize that everyone should always look their best." Lulu said.
"Oh, i'm sure Dustin always looks his best." Sky said.
"Yeah. And he's such good company too. We have so much in common." Lulu said.
"Like what?" Bill asked.
"Well, we're both into physical fitness." Lulu answered.
"Does Rocco like him?" Ned asked.
"Oh, he loves him. He's a great friend to have around this Thanksgiving." Lulu said.
"Oh, we realized how friendly he was the minute Rocco started talking about the two of you yesterday." Brooklyn said.
"Brooklyn, that was an uncalled-for remark. Just because a guy happens to be good-looking does not mean that he can't be friends with a married woman." Lulu said.
"So, you've noticed he's good-looking?" Tracy said.
"It's kind of hard to miss. Also, i'm a reporter. We're trained to notice everything." Lulu said.
"Quit it, you guys. I'm happy that Lulu has a good friend relationship with Dustin." Olivia said.
"Thank you, Olivia." Lulu said. "Dustin and i are just two people, hanging out with each other. When i took at him, all i see is a friend. The way i feel about Dustin is pure friendship. Does this dress make me look thinner?"
"Yeah. I can hardly see you." Olivia said.
"Thanks. Bye." Said Lulu before turning and exiting the dining-room.
Brooklyn and Sky then looked at Olivia.
"What?" Olivia asked.
"Oh, nothing. I mean...just because Lulu is gonna be spending all that time riding around town with that handsomer, younger man...there's no reason for you to worry." Brooklyn said.
"I'm not worried." Olivia said.
"Of course not, why should you be? I mean, for any normal woman, this would be an incredibley hard thing to resist. Fortunately, we're talking about Lulu." Brooklyn said.
"Thank goodness there were no guy-friends in my life when my husband, Tom, was living." Sky said.
"Sky?" Olivia said.
"Hm?" Sky said.
"I trust Lulu." Olivia said.
"Sure yoy do. I trusted my husband, Tom, with other women, he was a good man. And Lulu's a good woman. But we don't know anything about Dustin. He may be a love-crazed maniac." Sky said.
