I should really get finished up here and start getting ready to leave for St. Augustine’s. I need to leave within the hour, and I still haven’t dried my hair from my shower, and I have every intention of doing that, really.

If I can manage to stop being distracted by Aiden’s texts.

My phone buzzes at the counter as if summoned, and I’m biting back a grin as I swipe it over to read what he’s sent.

There’s a picture attached of Aiden looking disgruntled as he attempts to step out of a giant inflatable rainbow tube—his big body obviously too much for the children’s attraction. I can’t help but wonder how he manages to still look so good when he’s frowning.

CASSIE

I’m assuming Sophie took this? You look like you’re really struggling.

AIDEN

I told her I was too big for it.

CASSIE

We wouldn’t want to stifle her inquisitive mind though.

AIDEN

Hilarious. Have you left for school? You’re not texting and driving are you?

I can’t help but roll my eyes at this. It’s such a dad thing to ask. Still, I won’t pretend there isn’t a little flutter in my stomach that he’s concerned about me.

CASSIE

No, Dad. I’m still at home. I’m leaving soon though.

AIDEN

I don’t know how I feel about you calling me dad.

CASSIE

Would you prefer Daddy?

AIDEN

You realize they will take me to prison if I get hard in a museum full of children right?

CASSIE

Lol good thing for you I don’t have a daddy kink, or I would totally have some fun with this.

AIDEN

You’re evil.

CASSIE

You’ll just have to pay me back later. ;)

AIDEN

Completely evil.
