I was watching cartoons with Millie in the living room when the doorbell rang. I bet that's Marie. I look at Millie who was too focused on her show. I get up and head to the door.

I open the door to see Marie standing there with a plastic container in her hands. She smiles at me and I move aside to give her space to come inside.

She peaks me on the lips and smiles ,"Hello."

"Hi. What's that?" I ask gesturing to the box in her hand.

"Well I made Millie my famous chocolate chip cookies. I know how much she loves them." Marie smiles.

"Marie. You're spoiling her." I say.

"Says the guy who buys her everything she sets her eyes on." Marie shots back.

"That's not true. I'm pretty stern with her at times." I argue.

Marie rolls her eyes at me, "Yeah. Sure you are."

"I am sometimes. But I don't want you to make my daughter diabetic so no more sweets!" I say.

"Hey I'm not making any promises" Marie shrugs.
