“It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the theater. I don’t know Ris, it might be a little too weird for me.”
“No, I totally understand. Look, I’m not going to force anything, the choice is entirely yours… But I think that our son would totally love it.”
“Yeah,” she chuckles. “That’s true, I think he’d give me a run for my money as your biggest supporter.”
She tilts her head, her eyes smiling at me as a smirk comes across her face.
“Alright,” she agrees. “We’ll be there.”
“Trust me, you’re going to love it. I’ll meet you back at your home later after work, I’ll take you both to Le Lazurt then.”
“Wait, you said that was part of the reason you came here. What else was there?”
I wrap my arms around her waist, letting my hand come to rest on her buttcheek. I grip it lightly as I pull her in for a kiss, lasting a few seconds before separating.
“That’s the other reason,” I say, winking playfully at her. “I’ll catch you later.”
She wears a gorgeous smile as I walk backwards out of the store, blowing me a final kiss before I disappear back into the street.

“Okay,how does that feel Ezra? Is it comfortable?”
“Yeah!” he exclaims.
I take a few steps back, inspecting the new outfit that I’ve bought for my son’s attendance at tonight's show.
Ezra stands there, beaming with a huge smile on his face. He wears a navy waistcoat with three buttons and a chain. Under the waistcoat is a white shirt with large collars. They look slightly too big for him but it was too late to change it.
He wears matching suit trousers and black shoes. All in all, I decide the tailor did a grand job for him. I start to wonder what Sienna will think of her new dress.
Just then, the front door opens. Ezra runs past me, eager to show off his outfit to his mother. I grab her dress that hangs from a nearby hook before joining him.
“Wow!” she exclaims. “Look at you!”
“Handsome?” asks Ezra.
“Very handsome indeed,” beams Sienna before turning to me. Her eyes widen when she sees me holding the dress. “Ris, you didn’t have to…”
“I wanted to. I still remember all your measurements. What do you think?”
She takes it in her hands, running her fingers along the silky red fabric, cut with a low wavy hemline. Intricate floral designs hand around the neckline and continue down the bodice. The sleeves are cut just before they reach the elbow.
“This is beautiful.”
“Like you, now go get changed and let’s go!”
Just under half an hour later, we’re filing into a packed Le Lazurt. Sienna and I grip Ezra tightly by the hands as we make it through the entrance. There’s a full house tonight.
Even I feel slightly overwhelmed by the full attendance of people here. Cautious of Sienna’s comments earlier in the day, I check on her.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Oh I’m fine, so is Ezra. I just didn’t expect there to be this many people tonight.”
“I think this might be my biggest turnout yet,” I reply as I check the time. “Okay, it’s time for me to prepare. Here’s your seat number.”
I hand her the tickets and point to a pair of seats in the middle of the auditorium.
