Could we?

Laura giggles as Nate picks her up, and slings her arms around his neck. "I could never catch cold with you holding me."

Once they're up on the porch, she slides down but doesn't let him go inside yet. "Paula and I found this great new little diner in town... and they've got this huge Christmas tree that's just gorgeous... and it's just beautiful. I was hoping you and I could go eat lunch there? Paula said she'd watch Maggie..."

Laura's eyes plead with Nate's to say yes. "Alone time before family dinner? Could we?"
