After an hour of discussion, Rudy and Eric left the house and got out of the forest safely.
"Where are you going now?" Eric asked with a curious look on his face, but he was focused on checking the time on his watch.
"Home," Rudy shrugged. "It's getting late and I don't want mom to worry about me."
"I was thinking maybe we could eat out together. I am going to the next city to review one of the construction sites. Mom asked me to make sure that it's closed properly since the investors are going to visit later this week," Eric explained his situation casually.
"Do you want to join me?" he added.
"Umm… I can… or I would have if you had asked me earlier. That way, I would have informed mom beforehand so she wouldn't have made dinner for me." Rudy looked up at the sky to check the time and said, "Wait a minute."
He took out his phone and called Rebecca.
"I will just ask her if she's done making dinner or not. If not, then I will ask her not to make mine."
