#Chapter 34 – The Date

“Victor!” I call, following my boys as they dash into his house.

“Papa!”

“Daddy, we’re here!” I raise my eyebrows, laughing. Perhaps we didn’t need to all shout at once.

Victor comes from around the corner, smiling. “Hey, boys!” He says, dropping to one knee so that he can wrap them both up in a hug together.

I smile at the three of them, tucking a strand of newly-shiny hair behind my ear. I worked for a whole hour, putting together my look tonight. Approximately 55 minutes longer than I usually spend, but the result, I think, has paid off.

Victor looks up at me, and I get confirmation of this via the surprise on his face. “Wow, Evie,” he says. “You look…” he clears his throat and looks away from me for a moment, standing up. “You look dressed up.”

“I am.” I say, dipping a tiny curtsy as a joke.

“She looks amaaaazing” Alvin says, with stars in his eyes.

“She looks like a princess!” Ian confirms, clinging to Victor’s leg and smiling at me. So nice, I think, to have my own little fan section to cheer me on. Victor laughs, probably glad for the distraction.

“What’s the occasion?” He asks.

“Just out for the night,” I say. “Thank you for agreeing to take the boys on short notice.”

“No problem,” Victor says. “I had no plans. And we’re going to learn to play football!” he cheers.

Ian makes a face. “Mommy says football is a game for people with no imagination.”

Victor narrows his eyes at Ian in mock fury. “That means mommy has no imagination.” Ian laughs.

“Mommy is lying to you, daddy,” Alvin says quietly, his own face very serious.

Victor looks between us, seeking the joke, but there is none. Alvin is dead serious. “She is?” Victor asks. “About what?”

“She is not going out for the night. She is going on a date.”
