“Is this your baby?” the man asks. He doesn’t wait for a reply. “She’s adorable, just like her mom.” His smile is soft and boyish. It, like the sudden compliment, catches me off guard. Mia looks at the man curiously. The she looks at me and pats the side of my cheek. I’m pretty sure my mouth is
He still answers my question though. “That guy wasn’t right for you. Actually, you shouldn’t use any of my dating advice.” “What are you talking about?” Now that the shock has worn off, I start to smirk. I place my hand on my hip and ask, “I thought you were mister infallible when it came to picki

I have never eaten an ice cream so fast in my life. I practically inhale it, all while carefully avoiding looking at Beau. When I finally finish, I dart off of the park bench. “I have to use the bathroom,” I say over my shoulder as I hustle to the back of the banana-split shaped buildings to the
My face burns with fresh embarrassment. No way he just announced that to the entire place? I wash my hands in a hurry, make sure my clothes aren’t too wrinkled, and then exit the tiny room. “I wasn’t doing anything!” I demand, loud enough that anyone who might have heard him before would now
