Tanswered.

“Hello?”

“Lydia.”

His voice sounded amused.

“How do I remove blush from a child’s face?”

I blinked.

“What?”

“Miriam.”

I glanced at my kids in the back seat.

“She told me she doesn’t want to wash her face because she likes your lipstick.”

I laughed.

“It’s blush, Theo.”

“Whatever it is, it’s apparently precious.”

“It is.”

“I figured that out.”

I could hear the smile in his voice.

“She says she doesn’t want it to come off.”

“Use a wet wipe.”

“A wet wipe?”

“Yes. A normal baby wipe. Just gently clean her face.”

“Where do I find one?”

I laughed.

“Are you serious?”

“I’ve been informed that I’m apparently useless in this department.”

“You can find baby wipes in literally every supermarket.”

“Excellent.”

There was a brief pause.

Then I heard Miriam’s voice in the background.

“Daddy!”

What?”

“Can I live with Lydia?”

I froze.

Theo went completely silent.

Then Miriam continued, apparently unaware that she had just detonated a bomb.

“I want her to be my mom.”

I covered my mouth.

The car went strangely quiet.

Even Ava and Eli had stopped talking.

Theo cleared his throat.

“Miriam…”

“But I like her.”

“I know.”

“I want to live with her and the twins.”

I could practically feel Theo’s embarrassment through the phone.

“I’m sorry, Lydia.”

I laughed softly.

“It’s okay.”

“She doesn’t mean-”

“I know.”

I said to Miriam.

“Princess, you can always come visit me. And my babies would love having you around.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Can I?”

“Of course.”

She sounded delighted.

“Okay!”

I smiled.

Something warm moved through me.

en my brain, apparently desperate to ruin everything pleasant, supplied one very dangerous thought.

What would it be like?

Having another little girl running through my house.

Hearing another small voice call for me.

Having Miriam reach for my hand the way my children did.

I blinked.

No.

Absolutely not.

Back to earth, Lydia.

I had enough children.

I had enough responsibilities.

I had enough chaos.

And I certainly did not need to start imagining things that had no business being imagined.

By the time we arrived home, the children had already begun preparing for Dave’s arrival.

They were checking the clock.

Checking the door.

Checking the time again.

I watched them from the staircase with a smile.

They had missed their father.

That much was obvious.

Around five, the house became strangely quiet.

Then the doorbell rang.

I already knew who it was.

I walked toward the entrance and opened the door.

And there he was.

Casual enough to pretend it meant nothing.

Intentional enough that I knew it did.

“Thank you.”

He held my gaze for a moment longer than necessary.

Then the children started shouting again.

“Dad!”

He looked away.

“Coming”

I watched him disappear into the living room with them, their voices filling the house almost immediately.

I stood there for another second.

Then shook my head.

No.

Whatever strange energy had followed everyone into this house today, I was not participating.

And absolutely no time to be distracted by two attractive men appearing in my life within the same twenty-four hours.

I turned toward the kitchen.

“Back to reality.”

From the living room, Eli shouted,

“Mom! Dad says we’re ordering pizza!”

I stopped.

“Excuse me?”

Dave’s laughter followed.

Nosed my eyes.

“I’m going to regret today.”

And somehow…

I already knew I wouldn’t.

Ava immediately took over.

“There’s this new café that just opened downtown, and it has a bookstore inside, but not just a normal bookstore.. They have this immersive section where the ceiling has pink petals falling like rain.”

“Pink petals?

You told me about this earlier today” I repeated.

She nodded enthusiastically. “Yes! They make it look like it’s raining flowers. And there are these lights everywhere, so the whole place changes color depending on where you stand.”

Eli leaned forward. “And they have these huge glass bookshelves that go all the way up to the ceiling. There’s a reading area underneath them, and apparently there’s a room where the floor looks like it’s covered in clouds.”

Ava shot him a look. “That’s not the important part.”

“It is important.”

“It isn’t.”
