Little Aidan takes a nap on my lap and Adian contemplates the both of us. I try to avoid his gaze, but it is so intense and peaceful at the same time... We stare at each other and smile. Aidan has never been a shy guy, but right now I could bet the difference. He looks so vulnerable and curious sitting across from me in perfect, happy silence.
My mom left with Evelyn just a few minutes ago. They are going shopping. So it is just us three (the two Aidans and I). "I was thinking, since you wouldn't let me take you guys to a real arcade." "You can't go anywhere fun like that, you will only hurt yourself and you know it!" I tell Aidan, not giving him an opportunity to plan more crazy activities he can't perform.
