I told myself I wouldn’t make a big deal about it, but when I saw him standing at the bottom of the stairs as Chloe and I walked down, I wished I was the girl that would be wrapped around his arm tonight.

“Mom, seriously,” Chloe cries.

“I will make sure to bring her back in time.” He smiled. He gave me a quick stare before ushering Chloe outside.
