“That’s why you all like me so much.” I bat my eyelashes playfully. “What are you getting Sammy?” I ask.
He studies the menu. “Chicken wings, maybe.”
“Hmm.” I nod. “Sounds great but we’ll have to make sure we ask for them plain, not spicy.”
“Yeah.” He shakes his little head. “Definitely not spicy.”
“Will, you getting the ribs with me?” I keep looking at the menu. “Oh, we have to get the Yam Taters.”
She concentrates as she reads the menu. “Yam Taters? This food is weird.”
“I know, it’s great isn’t it?” I smile. “What are you getting, Mr. Masters?”
He frowns as he peruses the menu. “Food poisoning, no doubt.”
I roll my eyes. "Will you stop being such a killjoy? Just pick something."
“Chilli Tex Mex.” He closes the menu.
I giggle. “Are you serious?”
“Yes, why?”
“You have no idea how hot that could be.”
He smirks. “My dear Miss Brielle. May I remind you that I like my life extra hot.” I smile down at the table. He’s being a bit flirty tonight.
“If y
ou have an upset stomach all night long, don’t be blaming or calling me,” I tease.
The children both laugh and Julian rolls his eyes.
"Oh, look, the horse." Sammy smiles excitedly as he looks out to the backyard.
“Do you want to go see?” Will asks.
“Can we?” Sam asks me.
“Of course.” I smile.
They both get up and disappear out the back, leaving Julian and I to watch them in silence for a while.
“Thanks for coming tonight,” Julian says. “I’m not sure how to handle this whole thing.”
“It’s okay. I’m not going to go out this weekend.” “Why not?”
“I want to stay with Will.”
“Oh, so you’ll stay home for her, not me?” he teases.
“That’s right.” I smile as I watch his eyes hold mine. He’s so lost in all this Will business, he has no idea what to do for the best. “I thought maybe we could do something fun, both on Saturday and Sunday. You know, to try and take her mind off it all.”
He nods as his eyes drop to the table.
“Did you think any more about getting them a kitten?” I ask hopefully.
His eyes snap up to mine. “I don’t want pets, Bree. We go away a lot. The children stay at mother’s every Thursday.” He frowns.
