They were both unsure about their standing with joining the council and the feud was apparently life and well thanks to her mother.  Eve knew that Lauren Frost was not going to just drop this whole thing, it wasn't over just yet.<br/><br/>She pulled out a pair of chopsticks, rubbing the wood together to avoid splinters and began to eat what she had plated for herself.  "Hope, luck and a decent size trust fund that my mother has no control over.  I think we'll be okay.  I was close with my grandmother, that lake house was hers.  We've got enough to keep us afloat for a bit...Enough to figure out our lives, at least.  Maybe this week we just focus on getting through my mother's rage and your loss..."<br/><br/>They could conquer the world next week.  She actually did believe they would figure it out.  They were both capable, educated and skilled.  Those traits combined with their family names and their ability to honor their commitments had to mean something, right?<br/><br/>"My mother may come at you.  She may offer you money or threat you, she's not used to not getting her way."
