The Runaway Groom

While Zachary watched Star and Lulu like it was perfectly normal, Ken was scowling impatiently for being treated like a phone stand.

"To the left, Ken. I can't see Star..."

When Ken did so, Zachary complained again. "That's too far left! A little to the right!"

Ken kept adjusting as Zachary complained, until he had enough. "I'm not a camera stand, Zachary Slate!"

Shoving the phone in Lulu's hand, Ken planted himself on a nearby couch, huffing.

Lulu held the phone, aiming the camera at Star.

The baby's little hands reached out toward the phone, and Zachary's heart could melt from the cuteness.

He would like to stay home and give her a bear hug, but work progress had been slow, and it was only today that they were starting to get things done. "Just wait for me, Star. Daddy will be home soon."

"You're returning already, Mr. Slate?" Lulu asked, exceedingly uncomfortable.

She would rather Zachary did not come back so soon since she was fine with spending time with Star like this.

Still, Zachary shook his head. "It would still take a while, but I'll make it fast."

So he was just sweet-talking his baby. Thank goodness it was not the case.
