“What did iniss?” Luke asked, smiling at the both of us.

“Oh, you missed a lot,” I answered.

As we moved on to another game, I watched Luke and Janice laugh and cheer, completely engrossed in their friendly competition. They looked great together. Maybe becoming a family wouldn’t be a bad idea for the three of us. I didn’t know why I wasn’t still settled on that.

Eventually, we made our way to the claw machine, where Janice begged Luke to try to win her a stuffed animal. Luke rolled his eyes playfully but couldn’t resist her puppy dog’s eyes. After a few tries, he finally managed to grab a stuffed unicorn, much to Janice’s delight.
