NovelEndEric asked, "When's the soonest you can go over to sign those comics?" Upon hearing this, I checked the ton my phone and realized I had to pick Willow up from school. I hesitated before asking, "I need to pick up Willow today. Can I go over tomorrow?" "Sure," Eric said obligingly, and I heaved a sigh of relief.
Zane was busy, and it took him an entire afternoon to clear his work for the day. He glanced atand asked, "Are you going to the printing house tomorrow?" I hummed in response as an odd feeling cover me. Zane and I had been inseparable since I moved in with him. The idea of spending taway from him madefeel hollow.

Zane seemed to sense my reluctance. He chuckled and said, "We won't miss each other as much once we're busy with work." I considered this and found myself agreeing with him. "True. Can I have the driver dropoff at the printing house tomorrow?" Zane wouldn't be free to chauffeuraround. He knew this too and said, "Sure." He held my hand and added tenderly, "We won't be spending much ttogether tomorrow, so we should make the best of today." I had already gotten over my disappointment after listening to his sage advice. Nonetheless, I couldn't help laughing at his remark as I pointed out, "We'll still see each other at hwhen we get off work in the evening." "True." As I stopped before the kindergarten entrance, I noticed that most of the children had gone hjust as class ended. When I spotted Willow, I waved at her and beckoned her over.
When she saw me, she bounded up tohappily and said, "Mommy, we're having a stage performance the day after tomorrow. Promiseyou'll cwatch me!" Her eyes gleamed expectantly.
This was the first tWillow was slated to perform in a public, large-scale production since I becher mother. She would be crestfallen if I failed to make it to her show. As such, I agreed without thinking, "I'll be there." "I knew you wouldn't say no, Mommy!" She threw her arms around me, beaming. As I stroked her hair gently, she glanced at Zane. "You have to come, too, Daddy." Zane couldn't bear seeing Willow upset, so he promised, "Countin." Only then did Willow releasefrom her embrace.
Meanwhile, Penelope wordlessly stared at us, and Suzy looked conflicted as well. Upon seeing this Zane suggested helpfully, "You could take a day off and show up for your daughter's performance, too Suzy's eyes widened in disbelief. "Can I really?" QUMS "Of course." Zane said mildly, "You're working to afford a better life for your daughter, right? What's the point of dedicating all your tand energy to your work when you can't even spare a single day for smother- daughter bonding time?" Suzy broke into a smile. "Thank you, Mr. Huxley." "Don't mention it," Zane replied pleasantly.

Suzy drove us hthat afternoon. On the way back, Penelope and Willow sat beforeand chatted, their childish voices filling the car. As I watched them, a loving smile curled my lips. Zane sat in the passenger seat and occasionally glanced over his shoulder to speak to the two little girls. There was no cozier moment than this, I presumed.
When we got home, we went out for a jog with Howard and later trained in martial arts, Once the basic lessons were over, Willow went upstairs to wash up.
Penelope stayed withand tugged on the hem of my shirt. "Msom Annalise I need to tell you something E about Willow."
