“I don’t see why you keep on saying no, Ariel. Janice coming to my house is not actually a bad idea,” Luke vocalized.

“Oh really?” He raised an eyebrow.

“Yes,” I replied.

“Then tell me why you don’t want my daughter coming to our house.”

“Our daughter.”

“Still the same thing.”

“Nah, I remember you using that shit against me a couple of times.”

“Well, it’s terrible when you say it.”

“Oh, please, shut up.” I rolled my eyes.

“Hold on, you’re seriously taking her to your house?”

“Yeah, that’s what she wants. Who am I to say no?”

“Janice. You would want many toys, books, and other things.”

“I just want to spend time with my dad,” Janice told me.
