As we got closer to the house, Alan suddenly said, “Hey, Ariana, do you mind helping me bring the Baby’s Delight package from Dalia Lou restaurant?”

I stared at the back of his head, confused because he hadn’t turned to look at me. Then I glanced at the back of Dana’s head, equally puzzled.

“I don’t understand,” I said. “You want me to go pick it up?”

“No,” he replied, still focused on the road. “I mean... the owner is kind of a friend, and he usually prepares this meal for me called Kid’s Delight for little Rosie. And since we’ve all had a long day, and we’ve been together, I thought.... why not have dinner together? I’m leaving tomorrow, and I’ve had such a great time... I just wanted to end it on a good note. Rosie loves it, don’t you?”

He turned slightly to look back at her.

Rosie beamed. “Yes! Kid’s Delight is my favourite!”

“I’d love to,” I said, “but I have to take care of Leon. I need to give him a bath, change him... You know, all the usual.”

Alan raised an eyebrow. “Don’t yo

    Alan grinned. "You called me Romeo? I think I’m not that far off."Maria sighed and turned to me. "Are we calling the police or not?""It’s fine, Maria," I said. "This is Dana’s brother. I don’t think you two have met yet but he is.....""We have actually," Maria cut in. "Yesterday, remember? When you were busy ogling him?""She was ogling me?" Alan asked, clearly amused."Shut it," Maria snapped. "If you’re not taking him to the police, I’m going back to bed."And with that, she disappeared into her room, muttering to herself.Alan and I stood there in the hallway, staring at each other."I am so fucking sorry," he whispered."It’s okay," I whispered back. "But what were you doing? Climbing into her window?""Well," he said, sheepishly, "I kind of asked Dana where your room was in the house. She didn’t want to tell me, so I just thought I’d let luck decide. And… I think I was unlucky with this one."Just then, his phone rang. He pulled it out, answered it quickly. "I’m on my way. I’m

    I sighed. “Okay, fine. I guess we’re going to the Muppets show.”“Yay!” Leon shouted, running into the house. “Maria! Maria! We’re going to the Muppets with Rosie!”I turned back toward Alan, who was still standing there looking smug.“Well... thanks for the tickets,” I said, “and for the invite. I guess we’ll see you in two hours.”“Great,” he said, and then he winked.God. He winked.I was going out of my mind. He turned and left, and I had no choice but to check him out again as he walked away.Dana, I’m so sorry. I swear I’m just looking. Just... watching.I turned to close the door and there was Maria, standing silently in the hallway with that all-knowing look, like a mother catching her child sneaking in after curfew.“What?” I snapped.“Be careful with that one,” she said coolly. Then she turned and headed back to the kitchen, humming to herself.Just great. Now Maria was my moral compass.So, we got ready. Leon insisted on wearing his Muppet t-shirt. I packed some extra snack

    After dinner, things settled into a quiet lull. It was clear Rosie and Leon were getting restless, both of them squirming and yawning. Rosie kept tugging on Alan’s ankle until he finally chuckled and said, “I would’ve loved to spend a few more minutes getting to know you, Ariana, but it looks like I’m on bath and bedtime duty tonight.”“Of course, that’s no problem. I live next door anyway,” I said, brushing it off casually.“Oh,” he replied, perking up with interest. “You live next door?”“Yes,” I confirmed with a small nod.He smiled, nodding like it was good news. “Then I guess I’ll be seeing you a lot more.” He paused, then added, “And just so I don’t get ahead of myself… you’re not married, are you? I didn’t see a ring, but is there maybe a boyfriend in the picture?”Before I could answer, Dana groaned. “Oh my God, Alan. Can you just act chill for once? You always do this!”“What?” Alan laughed, looking completely unbothered.“Every time you meet one of my friends, you flirt wit

    Anyway, so with my interaction with Dana, and with all this time and all this space and everything in between, I made a decision.I was going to go back to college l.I never got to go to college. I did go to college that first year, but then, as we know, I dropped out. But I wanted to go back again. I wanted to make something of myself. If I ever managed to run away or Asher got tired of me, then I should do something with that freedom.And I knew it couldn’t be anything high-profile, nothing that would make it hard for me to work or keep a low profile. That meant I couldn’t be a lawyer, or work in the media.... you know? I couldn’t do things like that. I couldn’t be a police officer.Anyway, you get what I’m saying.So what did I decide to go into?I looked at Dana, how happy she was being with her little daughter, the two of them together. I said to myself: I’m going to study education. I want to be a teacher.And that’s how I got myself to apply to a small college in the town wher

    Still, the silence between us lingered long enough for me to break it.“I’ve seen you around… You live next door, right?” I asked“Yup. That modern grey house that looks like it’s judging the rest of the street.”I chuckled. “It’s beautiful. Do they pay teachers that well here?”Dana burst out laughing. “God, no. If only.”“Oh... I just assumed, you know… that house...”“I don’t own it,” she said, waving her hand. “It’s my brother’s. He’s filthy rich and barely home. Works in the city comes by some weekends to show off his new car and judge my parenting.”I smiled, then caught myself.“Sorry if that’s too much,” she added, watching me closely. “I’m used to saying things out loud.”“No, it’s fine,” I said quickly. “I just… wasn’t sure if there was a husband in the picture.”She shook her head. “Nope. Single mom club. Official member. Just me and my girl. You?”I hesitated. “Same.”Because I was, wasn't I? Basically since Leon was just an embryo to now. His father has never acknowledged
