He was obviously lying.
"Can you see this too?" I asked and leaned in close and kissed his lips briefly.
I could taste bacon.
"I couldn't see it at all… did something touch my lips?" he teased.
"You can't be helped," I got back on my toes and kissed him, a little deeper this time.
We let go of each other, and he put his glasses back on.
"What a way, to start the day," I said as I touched my lips, "with a bacon-flavored kiss."
"There's more of where that came from, ma'am," he said as he tipped an imaginary hat.
I had really gotten used to having both of them in my life. With just two days left, maybe I should take Ethan's advice and remain here in Richmond.
I wanted to tell him.

"There's something…"

"Daddy? Miss Olivia?" Chloe called breaking our conversation.
"Good morning, Chloe," I greeted but noticed she looked sad. "What's wrong?"
"I can't find my teddy. The one I went to the park with," she said while sniffling.
"Oh, I don't think I picked it up," I admitted as I tried hard to recall.
"I can get you another one," Ben suggested.
"Mmm… okay," she said, but she still seemed sad.
"I'll go look for it after work today, okay?" I promised her.
"Thank you!" She lightened up, "Did you make breakfast?"
"No, your dad did," I said.
"Last night, you just called him, Dad," she reminded me.
Chloe not in front of him!
"She did?" Ben had already heard it. "I guess that's the girl's talk that I'm being kept out of?"
"Oh hush," I blurted out and frowned.
He smiled at us and finished setting up our breakfast, "I've already eaten, I need to get to the hospital. I think I'm already late."
"I'll drop Chloe at her grandma's place then," I offered, "I'm leaving later."
