Natalie stared at the big screen, but her mind wasn't on the movie at all. Suddenly, she said, "Olivia, let's go on a date tomorrow."

"I'm in!" Olivia agreed immediately. "My latest project just wrapped up, and my manager gave me a break. Mason was going to take me somewhere fun, but I figured I'd stay close and spend some time with my parents instead."

She suggested, "Nat, how about this-tomorrow, you bring Marcus, I'll bring Mason, and we'll all go fishing?"

"That sounds perfect!" Natalie chuckled. "Let's find somewhere scenic, set up tents, and bring all the gear for a cookout. We'll catch and toss the fish straight onto the grill-as fresh as it gets."

"Fresh is the name of the game," she added with a grin.

Olivia burst out laughing. "Those fish are gonna see you and think they've met the Grim Reaper. Before they even know what hit them, they'll be gutted and sizzling in hot oil."

Natalie laughed too, picturing the whole scene. "I mean, you're not wrong. But hey, fresh and tasty-that's the whole point, right?"

Olivia nodded. "No one's fresher than you, Nat. You're the queen of freshness. Alright, time to sleep!" Olivia grabbed the remote and switched off the TV.

Natalie teased, "Goodnight, future sister-in-law."

They did not say another word after that, and Natalie drifted off to sleep quickly. However, Olivia could not fall asleep. She picked up her phone, dimmed the screen, muted it, and started texting Mason.

Olivia: "Babe, are you still awake?"

Mason: "Yeah, just got chewed out. I need a hug from you."

Olivia: "What happened? Did you mess up after Nat and I left?"

Mason: "Not exactly. I just didn't tell them about us. My parents found out and gave me a whole lecture. Told me not to disappoint you, said I'd better graduate soon, build my career, and marry you already."

Mason: "My mom also warned me not to get you pregnant before marriage. Said you're a model, and your career's just taking off. I'm not allowed to mess up your future in any way."
