“Mhm, see anything you like?”
“Nope. Just something I love.”
My sawolkeh grins.
“Smooth. Any plans for tonight?”
You have no idea.
“Eh, just dinner with my favorite people.”
“Well, I’ve got that project you wanted me to start, so it might keep me a bit late tonight. Can you get Jake?”
“Sure, but do you need any help?”
She can’t work past seven, or it’ll mess up my plans for her this evening.
“No, I’m good, thanks.”
“Ok, but don’t work too late. Jake wanted to do something together as a family, remember?”
Wyn’s face scrunches up. “Erm, no. I must’ve forgotten. Don’t tell him, and I promise to not be late.”
But as it nears five o’clock, Wyn is still buried under a mountain of work.
Almost all the other employees are gone for the weekend, including Tara, leaving just Wyn and me.
With a water bottle in my hand, I tap on her door.
“I’m off to pick up Jake. We’re going to Coney Island for hot dogs and cotton candy. Meet us there?”
“Oh, uh, sure. That sounds amazing. Jake loves playing all the fair games.”
Breezing into her office, I kiss her forehead and give her the bottle of water because I know she probably hasn’t gotten up from her desk in over an hour.
“Drink up, deoring—I plan on dehydrating you later.”
Wyn blushes at the insinuation but grabs me for a quick kiss on the lips before shooing me away.
Traffic creeps, but it’s Friday. Finally, I get to Jake’s school where he’s waiting for me in the aftercare program.
My little man sits next to a friend, off in his own little world while they chat.
“Jake!” I call, waving.
“Dad!” he chirps, scrambling up to run into my arms.
“You ready for tonight?”
His grin is wide enough to split his face.
“Ready! I can’t wait. Will Tara and Grandpa be there too?”
“Not tonight. I want this to just be the three of us—you, your mom, and me.”
“Alright, but is Aunt Tara still coming this weekend?”
“Yep.”
