Hey there, didn't expect to see you tonight. Everything alright?
repairmuse
yes! im watching your little munchkins for the night! just when you get off work!
Oh, thank you so much for doing that. I really appreciate it. How are they doing? Are they behaving themselves?
repairmuse
oh, theyre having a blast! being rambosquids kids theyre both super adventurous, especially Liam since he was an infant. he wanted to help me cook dinner. he made mac and cheese for himself and cassie but ate all of it.. wont let Cassie have any. i told him he needed to share and then proceeded to show him that being nice is awesome and he didnt want to be a grumpy pants anymore.
chuckles Sounds like Liam can be quite the character. Thank you for handling their antics. It means a lot to me. Is there anything I can do for you in return?
repairmuse
comes out the kitchen smiling
You've been so helpful tonight, I want to show my appreciation. How about I make us some dinner? What are you in the mood for?
repairmuse
i can cook! please dont worry about me, your kids already treated me to dinner and dessert rambosquid kids being already used to girls. only person they dont want around is Chrisean because they know Chrisean doesnt like boys. unless those have an amazing imagination. anywho back to you. how was work?
smiles Thank you for offering, but I insist. Work was busy as usual, but I'm grateful to have someone like you looking after my children.
repairmuse
nods while pulling out her phone. okay. if anything happens ill let you know! she contacts his job and reports everything thats happened today, proceeds to clean up the playroom and toys, then starts tidying up the rest of the house and cleaning.
sits down on the couch, sighs It's been a long day. Taking care of the kids on my own can be exhausting. Thank you for being here, repairmuse.
repairmuse
its no problem. anything else you need?
hesitates Actually, there is something else. Something personal. Can I trust you with a secret?
