Gregory nodded seriously at the mouthed question, and then mouthed an apologetic, "I can't say no..!"

With a clear of his throat, he responded... By the way, his cheeks were getting a little red. "Ah, I'll have to call my father and ask... I should be able to, though. That'd be lovely, Tanaka-san." No it wouldn't! Well, it would, from what he had heard in the cafe she was a decent cook. The problem was the flirting, and he knew there would be a lot of it. Gregory was sixteen, for goodness' sake! And she was... Older. He wasn't about to ask the exact number, but she was definitely 'older'.

"I'll just... Call my father and ask, okay? If you don't hear back, it means he said yes."
