Chapter 17: A Date… A Family Date 

Are you ready?” Kaleb asked, thrilled for his very first date with Scarlett, 

“Umm.” Scarlett was standing at the door to her room, pursing her lips. She replied, “Yes, I am, but –” 

“Daddy! I’m ready too!” Liam‘s head popped out from behind Scarlett‘s frame, his smile reaching his ears,” I’m excited!”

‘Daddy, I’m ready too.’

‘Daddy, I’m ready too.‘ 

The words of Liam repeatedly rang in Kaleb‘s head, and it took several seconds for everything to register, His son was going with them on his very first date with Scarlett. 

“Sorry,” Scarlett softly said. “He was pretty insistent.” 

Earlier that morning, all Liam had to say to Scarlett was, “Do you love me or not? Then... you should bring me to your date with daddy. You can‘t leave me.” 

Scarlett just could not say no to him, and she could tell Kaleb was the same.

As Liam showed his enthusiasm, Kaleb eventually surrendered to the charms of his son, 

“I‘m excited, daddy!” Liam said, reaching for Kaleb‘s hand, 

“I can see that,” Kaleb said. He hissed, but he quickly recovered, scratching his head. “I guess it‘s going to be a family date, then.” 

A family date,‘ Scarlett repeated, her ears feeling warm at what Kaleb implied.
