In the end, Ethan went back to the master bedroom alone.

The next morning, Alice straightened Caroline out and got ready to leave the house. Ethan said he would be staying at home with Caroline today, so she wanted to go out to avoid him.

In the bedroom, Ethan looked at Caroline. “So, who do you want to be with today? Me or Mommy?”

“I want both of you to be with me.” Caroline didn’t even hesitate when she answered him.

“Well… I am amenable to that arrangement, but you’d have to come up with a plan to execute it,” Ethan said calmly. He didn’t look upset or anything.

Caroline blinked and broke into a smile. “I know what you mean. I’ll try to keep her around.”

She’s smart. Ethan smiled happily.

The girl hopped and skipped to Alice’s room, but then she stopped in front of Alice’s door and turned to look at Ethan. “Were you forcing yourself to do this, Daddy? Mommy said I shouldn’t force anyone to do anything they don’t like. Are you feeling upset because you had to play with me, or because of Mommy? You don’t have to do this. I’m fine with just Mommy,” said the girl without stopping, not giving Ethan a chance to respond.
