She shifted closer to me and took my hand in hers. I squeezed her hand a little while my heart clenched a little in my chest.

"I have an idea of what you can do." She spoke up moments later and I perked up at once, eyes widening as I sat up straighter.

"What's that?" I asked and she tried suppressing her grin as she spoke next.

"How about you babysit people's kids?" She asked and my eyes widened even more, because for one, that was something I've never considered doing before.

"Me?" I breathed out and she nodded eagerly.
