Nate Anderson was already dressed and eating breakfast when his father in a bathrobe enters the kitchen.
“Sleep well?” William asks, while gabbing a cup of coffee.
“As well as one can, when on the couch; William answers. “Despite the heavy rain last night, I still heard everything through the wall.”
“Oh,” William coughs; “Sorry. It’s not like we were trying to be loud and all.”
“No worries,” Nate answers. “Oh dad; before you go, just to let you know, I got plans later today and I’m going to need to borrow the tent.”
“Sure,” William answers; “does it have anything to do with our talk last night?”
Nate talked to his father regarding Kenya his were-panthress girlfriend. Detailing that she was a escort and was recently proposed to by a client.
“Yeah it does,” Nate answers; “but not with Kenya. I texted a message telling her it’s over and what not.” Nate continues, “Afterwards I texted this Were-feline I met a few days ago and we are going to meet up after school.”
“Ahhh,” William answers; “Oh but before you go, Eric texted us that he is at the Lawson’s can you drive up with a change of clothes for him? There is too much daylight for him to chance a run back here in has fursona without causing an ‘incident’.”
“Fine,” Nate answers.
William leaves the kitchen to head upstairs to get ready for a day of teaching at the college. Nate finishes his breakfast and heads to Nate’s room to grab some clothes. He grabs some garments when his phone buzzes with a message. Looking, he is pleased it is Liv.
‘Change of plans. Meet at the old mill in an hour. Everything else stands. you tent. me snacks and toys.’
Nate rushes with Eric’s cloths. Tossing them in his car, he rushes to the backyard shed and grabs the camping tent and tosses it in the back seat. Jumping in the car he races out of the driveway. Taking a slight detour to his new destination, Nate stops at the Lawson residence and honks his horn. Grabbing Eric’s clothes he heads to the door. Maggie Lawson opens it to great Nate.
“Hello Nate,” She states; “Give Eric and Spencer twenty minutes and they’ll be out.”
“Actually ma’am,” Nate responds; “I can’t wait. I have to meet up with a friend.”
“Friend,” Maggie arches her eyebrow; “anyone we know?”
“No,” Nate answers; “but if things work out with her, who knows.
Maggie took a second to process what Nate said and then understood; “Just don’t get caught with the truant officers.”
Nate just smiled as he headed back to his running car and took off. This time he is headed to the old mill on the edge of town. With a song in his heart and a slight tenting in his pants; Nate was about to play hooky with a possibly horny and kinky were-feline he met over last weekend.

William was just finishing getting dressed when Martha started to stir.
“Come back to bed William,” Martha pleaded.
“Can’t honey,” William answers just as he finishes with his tie; “Got a couple classes to teach at the college today.”
“Boo,” Martha responds; “Can’t you just call in sick?”
William chuckles, “no Martha I can’t. Besides, in between the clashes I have papers that need to be graded.” He gives Martha kiss and heads out.
Martha still lying in bed thinks of wanting more of William when he gets home. All of a sudden the phone rings. Picking up the receiver she answers; “Hello, who is this?”
“This is Amanda Knight;” from the other end of the call. “Would you be interested in meeting up for coffee?”
“Are you the same Amanda Knight that is mother to Frieda?” Martha asks.
“Yes, “ Amanda answers; “I just wanted to talk regarding what happened on Tuesday involving Julie Stovall.”
Martha was hesitant at first but decided; “would the café next to the bank at ten work for you?”
“Yes,” Amanda responds; “that will give me time to deal with an issue regarding my husband once he gets back from dropping Frieda off at school. I’ll see you then.”
Martha hangs up perplexed from the out of the blue call. After the texts Eric read from Frieda several nights ago; Martha was led to believe that Amanda and Benton were stuck up snobs that didn’t care for anybody not already in their social circle. Getting out of bed Martha heads to the bathroom to get ready for her talk with Amanda.
