Jacob was confident that tonight's dinner would go well. It had to go well. This had been the worst two months of his life but now it was all coming to a positive end.

Carina squeezed his hand and smiled. "Breathe", she said.

Jacob smiled back. "Of course everything will be fine", he thought to himself, "This dinner meeting between the two families is just what we need to break the tension and start over again."

Carina's father had pushed Beth's hand away.

Jacob whimpered.
