Unable to escape the past.
"It's a little girl," Tobias smiles, ending the call. I suck in a breath before squealing loudly. I couldn't help myself, it's a girl thing.
"I knew it! I knew it would be a girl! Ahh, I'm so excited!" I squeal, clapping my hands together. I imagine dressing my best friends baby in little pink dresses, taking her to the park for picnics and buying her ice cream and sweets. A wide smile spreads across my face.
"I'm so happy for Emily," I say, continuing to help Tobias put the dishes away. He nods at me, looking deep in thought as he continues to pass me plates and cutlery.
"Do you ever want kids?" I ask him, wanting to get to know him better. He's always so mysterious, so closed off. Tobias pauses, thinking hard.
"I have no idea. I've never thought of it before."
He slowly turns towards me, a more playful smirk on his face. I suck in a breath, butterflies fluttering in my stomach from a simple look. It amazes me how much of an effect Tobias has on me.
