Still hesitant, Nadine glanced at Sean, who immediately jumped out of the car and grabbed her hand. He tugged her toward the vehicle. "Mommy, please just say yes! I haven't had tuna tartare in forever, and I really want to have it today!"
She looked at her son's cherubic face and nodded. She gently ruffled his hair and responded tenderly, "Alright, let's go."
Sean immediately clapped his hands. "Yay! You're the best, Mommy! Thank you!" He then wrapped his arms around her neck and kissed her cheek.
Brad got into the car after Nadine, closed the door, and told the driver to start the engine. A smile spread across his face as he watched the mother-son's exchange.
He was green with envy when he saw Sean kiss Nadine. He couldn't help but tease, "I'm the one who wanted to take you out. Why did you only kiss Mommy?"
The little one nimbly squeezed between the two adults, turned sideways, and wrapped his arms around Brad's neck, planting a kiss on his cheek as well. "How's that? Thank you, Daddy!"
Brad touched the spot where Sean had kissed him, feeling a whirlwind of emotions inside. This was the first time Sean had taken the initiative to kiss him, but it made him feel as though they were deeply connected.
For some reason, Brad felt as if something deep within him was awakening when Sean's lips touched his cheek.
