"I plan to go to Lincoln for the New Year," Iris Harris said to him, "Nathan is home alone now, and Melody's school is on break, so I have to go accompany them."
Brandan Hyde, upon hearing this, was a bit displeased.
He had already booked the tickets for those days, and now Iris says she wants to go to Lincoln, doesn't that invalidate his travel plans?
Iris noticed his unhappiness, touched his face and appeased him: "Then why don't I ask them to come over and spend the New Year here? You can book a few more tickets, and we can all go out together."
Brandan still wasn't keen on the idea.
Why invite another one or two "third wheels" to intrude on their little world?
He even specially booked a couple's hotel, planning for some fun, who wants to share it with Nathan's two boys at a couple's hotel.
Ignoring him, Iris turned around and called Nathan, asking them to come to River City for New Year's.
