Eileen said, "I see."
Hearing what Brandy had said, she became anxious and ate quickly.
Ruben noticed that and said, "Take it easy.
I will drive you home after dinner."
Eileen smiled and said to the small restaurant’s owner, "Hi, please wrap up one for me. I will take it to go. Don't cook it"
She was afraid that the spaghetti would stick together when she went back.
Ruben asked naturally, "Who do you wrap it up for?"
She said honestly, "My son."
Hearing that, Ruben opened his eyes wide i n surprise and asked, "Your son?"
Eileen said, "I have a son. I got married when I was twenty-two years old. My son i s eight years old now, but I have divorced his father. My son stays by his father's side.
Eileen was reluctant to hide it from others. She told him the truth calmly.
'If Ruben has a crush on me, he will give up after he knows about it."
Ruben closed his eyes and said, "Sorry, I don't mean to be offensive."
As for women, such a topic was private, and it might hurt them. Much of the time they would be reluctant to mention it.
Eileen said frankly, "It's OK. It's the truth. Whoever asks me, my answer will be the same. I don't think that it's offensive."
Ruben admired the straightforward Eileen very much.
Eileen didn’t waste any time. After dinner, she paid the bill, took the spaghetti and got in Ruben’s car. She said, "I'm sorry that you can't enjoy dinner at leisure tonight. I will buy your dinner next time."
Ruben teased her, "I expect it so much."
They arrived at Eileen's home. Eileen thought that it was impolite to let Ruben leave like that. She said, "Would you like to have a cup of coffee upstairs?"
Ruben agreed. They went upstairs.
However, except for Brad, Luke was in front of her door.
Eileen felt confused.
