Kari quickly bounced.
Brittany tidied up some stuff, shut the studio's door, and headed over to Isaac, opening the car door.
"How long have you been waiting?"
"Just got here." Isaac pointed at the seat belt, "Buckle up, please."
"Thanks for picking me up." Brittany said softly, "How about we take Grandma out for dinner tonight?"
She wanted to use the opportunity of Grace's visit to treat her to some good meal.
"Grandma doesn't really dig eating out."
Brittany mistakenly thought that Grandma didn't like socializing or dining out.
Truth was, Grandma didn't want to be a burden to Isaac, so that was the excuse she used.
"There's a decent restaurant nearby, let's ask Grandma what she thinks."
Back at the apartment, Grace was all fired up about going out for dinner. She wanted Mexican food, changed her clothes, and was ready to go.
Isaac looked at her coldly, "Grandma, you can't eat spicy food."
Grace dramatically responded, "Fine, if you won't let me eat, I won't. I'll just watch Bri eat and starve!"
"Grandma, I'll order some non-spicy food for you to try."
Brittany consoled Grace, "The Mexican place downstairs is really good, let's go."
Grace gave Isaac a smug look, her eyes were full of gloating.
See that? My granddaughter-in-law is taking care of me!
Isaac reluctantly trailed behind.
The Mexican place wasn't big, but it was very clean and business was booming.
They picked a small table.
This seemed to be Isaac's first time at a place like this, a family owned small business. He frowned.
He wiped the chair and table with a napkin, trying to adjust to the environment, "Don't order too much food."
He wasn't into Mexican food.
Brittany, upon hearing this, ordered what she liked, and also got a plate of little desserts for Grace.
When all the dishes came, Brittany passed the fish tacos to Grace.
"Grandma, their tacos are really good, try it."
Isaac just pretended not to hear, and after he was full, he got up to pay.
They walked home, it was already dark, and the air was filled with a faint scent of flowers. The little shops on the side of the road were still open, with dim lights shining down.
Before heading home, they went to a mid-range clothing store.
Brittany picked out two sets of clothes for Grace. Elderly people's clothes should be of good quality, softer, and skin-friendly.
Grace was very cooperative, happily allowing Brittany to fuss over her.
Isaac stood to the side, playing the role of a helper. His extraordinary aura made the shopkeeper steal glances every now and then.
"Miss, is this gentleman your husband?"
"Yes."
Brittany was not shy at all, "Handsome, isn't he?"
"He is indeed very handsome."
The shopkeeper thought he was like the extraordinary character written in books, standing in her shop, as if the whole place had become high-end.
"We'll take these two."
Grace was very satisfied with Brittany's taste, and the shopkeeper was a straightforward person, "One set of clothes is seventy dollars, I'll give you a discount for two sets, a total of one hundred and thirty dollars."
