She folded her arms while he slid back the side door and climbed into the rear back seat. With three rows of seats, it was perfect for family outings. A pair of twins, grandparents, parents, and room for another person in the last row. And storage room in the trunk for whatever they needed.
He was sold on it. For the price, and it was red, he thought it was perfect. But when he saw her raised brows and folded arms, he figured Kayla wasn’t buying it.
He sighed, and they began to look at two-door coupes.
“These are cute,” she said, “but it would probably be more practical to have a four-door, or I wouldn’t be able to take all the ladies—Nicole, Roxie, your mother—to the tea shop.”
“I’m sure one of the other ladies would volunteer and you could have the sporty car for running around in.”
She smiled at him. “Let’s look at some of the four-door sedans.”
Then she and he began to check them out. While she was sitting in the driver’s seat of one of the red sedans, he glanced back at the Odyssey. He was thinking if he took his parents and his sister and brother-in-law and the babies and Kayla anywhere,hecould use the vehicle.
“Is that the one you like?” he asked Kayla as she checked out the trunk of the sedan.
“I want to look at the others too.”
“Even if they’re not red.”
She chuckled. “I will give up a red one if one of them has everything else I want.” Then she saw a Honda Civic on the showroom floor in red. “Let’s see that one.”
He smiled.
And it turned out to be just the one she wanted.
“Okay,” Nate said to the salesman. “How much will you take off of the price if we get both the Honda Civic and the Honda Odyssey?”
Kayla frowned at him, looking puzzled.
The salesman offered a reduced price but said he could go no lower than that.
“Ask the manager,” Nate said.
The salesman went off to speak with him while Kayla and Nate drank some complimentary bottled water in the office. “Why do you want the Odyssey?” Kayla asked Nate.
“With my sister having the twins, I could take the family places. I can’t now.”
She sighed. “You know if you get that van what will happen.”
“What?”
She took another swig of her water bottle. “Our families will think something else is going on.”
He had to admit when he’d asked Kayla to mate him and they were expecting their own babies, they’d need a van. But truly, he figured it would help out with his own family for now.
The salesman returned and made a counteroffer.
“Do you want to check out the Ford dealership?” Kayla asked Nate, rising from her chair. “We just started looking. There are three other dealerships in Green Valley.” She shrugged. “We can go to Denver after that. We’re in no rush.”
Nate stood, following Kayla’s lead. She was really good at this bargaining business.
“I’ll talk to the manager again,” the salesman said, and hurried out of the office.
“Damn, Kayla, I should have let you do all the bargaining.”
She laughed. “You got us down that far on the price. If we’re going to get two vehicles, they should give us a better discount than that. And I really am ready to check out the other places.”
Then the manager came back and met their offer.
