"Ike, everyone's been treating me real nice, super friendly, no rejection at all. You can chill, I'm all good," Lucinda reassured Ike, then asked, "Ike, you taking a break today? No overtime?"

Lucinda chuckled, "Ike, drop by whenever you're free. I've decided to move back to the manor with Stefan."

Ike retorted, "That's way out in the sticks, it's gonna be a pain for you to commute."

Lucinda hummed in agreement and passed the phone to Stefan.

"Yeah."

"Well, don't go barfing all over the car."

"I don't get car sick."

Ike chuckled, "Just be careful, alright?" With that, he hung up.
