"Or you can just pout and be miserable the whole time." Therese teases. Celine rolls her eyes, but Therese continues. "I would be hurt if that was the case. Knowing you'd rather be somewhere else doing something else." "Maybe, mom. It's a big step and I don't know if we're ready for it." "I've seen how he looks at you. Trust me, he's ready." Celine tosses more food in the cart and shakes her head. Before she can finish shopping though, she gets a call from Rene on the cell phone her mother got her. It's a brick, a pain to carry around, but this makes it all worth it. "Hi Rene." "Celine!" His voice isn't half as sweet and loving as it normally is when he speaks to her."I have a favor to ask. Can you possibly get food for us? I'm at the office with Ann-Renee and the kids filling out college applications and none of us have eaten.""Sure." Celine blinks a few times. It's a weird request from him, but who is she to deny him. Plus, even if she'll have to behave, it's a chance to see him which she hasn't had in days. "I can grab some things and Mom and I will head over." After collecting everything they needed, they head over to the studio. Celine walks in andreminds herself that Anne-Renee doesn't know what's going on with her and Rene. Sure, Celine's family knows, but that's something entirely different than dealing with an ex wife and kids. She bites her lip and offers the food, smiling at Rene. "Looks like you guys are having a productive day."
