Chapter 35
Later the next evening Kel and I were watching a movie after I had tucked Evie to bed by reading her a bedtime story.
I and Kel's hands were intertwined and my head laid on his shoulder.
"Let's go out on a date tomorrow," he said looking up at me.
"I'd love to but I can't just leave my... " I stopped realising what I could have said, I nearly said, daughter. "I can't just leave Evie alone Kel."
"And who told you she'd be alone? I'd have someone watch over her."
"This place is foreign Kel, do you trust the person. I don't want anything to happen to her."
"I don't think you trust me if you'd ask that. I know she's important to you and that makes her important to me. Nothing will happen to her."
There was something about the way he said it with all sincerity that made me admire him more. I like the fact that he understood how important she is to me and cared without even knowing she's his, it made me smile.
