He had a knack for managing his own study schedule, with absolutely no need for any intervention from his family or tutors.
"Go on with your game, Farley." Hannah told him, "I'm going to take a stroll."
"Alright, just be careful. Don't wander too far. Once the road opens up, we'd have to leave." Farley said.
Hannah responded with a guilty nod, quietly pocketing a pack of beef jerky and slipping on her sunglasses. She then stepped out of the vehicle, posing a brief walk around the area before finally approaching Steven's car. "You helped me out earlier, so consider this beef jerky a token of my gratitude." She told him, offering the pack.
Steven declined, "Can I choose my own thank you gift?"
"What do you want?" Hannah asked.d2
He patted the seat next to him, "Sit with me. Let's chat."
Hannah hesitated for a moment before sitting down, "What do you want to talk about?"
Before Steven could respond, a call came in on his phone. The screen displayed the name, "Zavier Rivera".
"I'll need to take this." He told her, reaching for his phone.
"I'll give you some privacy." Hannah said, rising from her seat.
"No need." Steven pulled her back, his arm naturally finding its way around her waist. His other hand swiped the screen to answer the call, "Zavier, what's up?"
Zavier's voice came through the phone, his usual cockiness tinged with a hint of resignation, "Aren't you in Harbor City?"
"No, I'm not." Steven replied.
"You're in Haines to see your ex-wife?" Zavier guessed.
