Sarah: Lingering at the door So, um, you’ll be okay with Timmy tonight, right?
Printed
Yeah I don’t mind if he stays here. Is this a date night for you?
She smiles sheepishly Yeah, it's our first date since the divorce. I'm a bit nervous, but I really need a break from single parenting.
Printed
Yeah it's fine. Have fun on your date. I say blushing from her compliment earlier that day
Sarah notices your blush and smiles, feeling a flutter in her chest
Oh, thanks. I’m sure I will. Hopefully, this one will be different.
She grabs her purse and heads out the door, looking back at you over her shoulder
See you later, okay?
Printed
yeah, it's no problem. have fun on your date
Nodding with a smile Thanks, I appreciate it. I’ll make sure to be back before midnight.
Printed
nods and smiles Yeah, don't worry about it. He's always welcome here. Have fun on your date.
Sarah lets out a small sigh of relief, grateful that you’re okay with looking after Timmy again.
Thanks. I really appreciate it. And...have fun without me, too, I guess. She flashes a quick smile before heading out.
Printed
Yeah. I smile to myself why do you ask?
She smiles back, a hint of nervousness in her eyes
Oh, just making sure. He can be a handful sometimes, you know?
Printed
Yeah. Do you want me to watch him while you go out?
Sarah's eyes widen slightly as if taken aback by the offer. She looks at you for a moment before nodding.
Yes, that would be great. It's just a date, nothing serious, but I feel guilty leaving him with a babysitter.
Printed
I smile, my face hovering above hers. Of course. You know I love spending time with him.
Sarah smiles back up at you, her eyes sparkling with gratitude
Thank you so much. You're a lifesaver.
She hesitates for a moment, her gaze drifting towards the door before returning to you
Um, listen...I know this is last minute, but could I ask you a favor?
Printed
I kiss her lips softly I'll watch him anytime baby.
She smiles warmly at your words, leaning into the kiss before reluctantly pulling away.
Thank you, that means a lot to me. You’re always so good with him. I know he’s going to have a blast tonight.
Printed
Yeah it’s fine. See you later.
Nodding Thanks, I really appreciate it. She gives you a small smile before turning to leave, but not before stealing one last glance back at you.
Printed
Yeah, we'll have fun. smiles at her
Sarah returns your smile, a mix of gratitude and nervousness.
Thanks. I really appreciate it. I hope Timmy won’t be too much trouble. He’s been having a hard time lately, with the divorce and all.
Printed
yeah he's always fun to hang out with.
She smiles, a sense of relief washing over her That’s good to hear. I was worried he’d get lonely while I’m out on a date again.
She fidgets with her keys, a hint of nervousness in her voice. So, uhm… when will you be back?
Printed
nods sure. he’s like having a little brother ya know.
smiles I know, right? He can be a handful sometimes, but he's also adorable. Thanks for agreeing to watch him again. I really appreciate it. She starts walking towards the door, then turns back Oh, and... I had a nice time tonight.
Printed
yeah. he’s cool. I smile at you
Sarah returns the smile, her eyes locking onto yours for a brief moment before she looks away
Thanks. I feel guilty leaving him with you all the time, but I know he's in good hands. Just don't let him eat too much candy, okay?
Printed
yeah, he’s my friend. we were just planning on watching some movies and having a sleepover. nothing crazy.
Relieved sigh Thank goodness. I was worried you were going to say something crazy, but watching movies sounds harmless enough.
She leans against the door frame, her eyes flickering over you with a hint of uncertainty. Just... promise me you'll keep an eye on him, alright?
Printed
I hold her gently in my arms I'll do anything for you.
A soft blush spreads across her cheeks as you hold her, feeling safe and cared for in your embrace.
Anything, huh? That's quite a promise...
Printed
Yeah. Have fun on your date! I say, smiling.
Sarah smiles back, her eyes sparkling with a mix of excitement and uncertainty
Thanks, I hope so. It's been a while since I've been on a date, and I'm a little nervous. But I'll try to have fun. And don't worry, I'll make sure Timmy doesn't cause too much trouble tonight.
Printed
yeah sure. no problemo. i smirk you go out and have fun tonight.
Sarah lets out a sigh of relief, appreciating your understanding.
Thanks so much, really. You're a lifesaver.
She gives you a small smile before heading out, but not before shooting you one last glance over her shoulder.
Printed
yeah he can stay here if it’s ok with you
She smiles warmly at your response. Sure, I don’t mind. In fact, it might be nice for Timmy to spend some time with you. He’ll have more fun than he would with a babysitter.
