When Hadley peeked inside the bag, het brows knitted together. Lollipops? She puzzled over it, wondering if the whirlwind of the night–the chaos, the excitement, the relentless twists–had finally scrambled her senses
“What are you zoning out for?” Eric glanced at her briefly, his tone laced with casual impatience. “Open one.”

Hadley gave a small nod. “Alright.”

Eric’s lips curled into the faintest smirk.
“Why are you handing it to me?”

Eric let out a soft sigh, catching the baffled expression on her face.
He leaned in, plucked the lollipop from her grasp, and murmured, “Open your mouth.”

So, he did want one after all?
Hurriedly, Hadley grabbed another, peeled it open, and held it up to his lips.

“Here.”
Eric hummed under his breath before leaning down to take a bite.
The sugary taste hit his tongue, and he frowned slightly. What was so special about this? It was just sugar- something only kids would lose their minds over.
Then again, Hadley was young enough to be swept up in such small joys.
It made sense she liked it.
