"Why are you sorry? You didn't order them. I did. I must have had a sticky key."

Nathalie nodded slowly. “I… I emailed you the monthly bill report.”

"Good news or bad?"

“Good,” she said with a nod. Her voice sounded tired.

"Well, you better go home and pack," Henry said. "So should we."

Nathalie nodded, taking it as her dismissal. She left and but went back to her desk first. There was a few things she had to wrap up if she was going on vacation!

(do you want to do a time skip?
If so, tell me where)

"Bags?" Henry asked.
"Check." Jace answered.
"Tickets?"
"Check."
"Brain?"
"Che-hey!"

Nathalie appeared, bringing only a small suitcase and a purse with her.

"That's are you're bringing?" Henry asked. "We're gone for 3 weeks."

"I am aware, sir. I have enough," she replied steadily. "Can I help you carry anything?"

"Nope," Henry replied, bags under arms.

"Are… Are you sure?" she replied skeptically. He had quite an armful of baggage.

Henry nodded and smiled. He started walking towards the car.

Nathalie carried her own bag. She couldn't deny herself - she rushed forward, putting down her own bag, and taking two of Mr. Manchester's bags.

"I don't need your help, Nathalie. Do you see these muscles? They're well earned."

She blushed. "Yes… I just wanted to…"

Jace pushed past his father and Nathalie. "Open the boot, dad."

Nathalie stumbled over her heels and nearly tripped as Jace pushed past her. She managed to straighten herself before Mr. Manchester could glance over at her.

"Why do I have to do it? You're younger."
"Because I'm lazy and disgusted."
