Liora playfully nudged Evan with her head while he smiled, his gaze filled with adoration. “Sure, if you don’t want to go.”

Evan replied, “There’s a condition.”

“What is it?” Liora blinked. “Tell me.”

“Ah?” Vexed, Liora looked at Evan and hurriedly said, “No, Daddy. I won’t play at night again, and I’ll go to school.”
