“Yeah, okay.”
Since Aurora had spoken, Craig naturally listened.
The tension between them lingered awkwardly, until Walter came rushing over. “Magnolia, you’re coming home with me—now!”
“I don’t want to! She just bullies Craig because he’s nice! Just because she’s the Lopez family’s golden girl—big deal! She got lucky at birth, that doesn’t mean she’s better than us. Who does she think she is, anyway?”
“At least I’d never fall for a married man.” Compared to Magnolia’s outburst, Aurora’s reply was as cool as ice. But every word hit home.
“You—!”
Walter’s face flushed, clearly embarrassed by his daughter. He quickly waved an apology to Craig and practically dragged Magnolia away.
Just like that, the drama fizzled out.
Aurora suddenly felt a strange sense of embarrassment, though she wasn’t sure why. She cleared her throat and fished around in the car for the stuff she’d just bought. “Well, I already got these, so you might as well have some.”
“I’m not hungry,” Craig replied quietly.
“Oh. Well, just keep them for later, alright? Eat when you feel like it. I’ll get going—”
“Aurora.” He stopped her, voice low and a little shaky, those blue eyes fixed on her. “Don’t go. Stay with me, please.”
“I know you’ve already moved on, and I’m the one stuck in the past. That’s my fault, not yours. Today… maybe I’m asking too much, but I just really want you to stay with me, just for today,” Craig said, pressing his lips together. “Just one day. Is that okay?”
How could Aurora say no to that? Besides, after all those years calling Amelie “Mom,” she knew, deep down, she ought to be here for Craig.
“Alright. I’ll help you take care of things today.”

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone?
