Not expecting his question, I just stare.

Julia interrupts by asking, “Can I ride to the next driveway?”

Vince nods and says, “Be sure to stop,” as I continue staring at their interaction.

Then he focuses his beautiful eyes on me, and I’m still at a loss for words.

“Syd? Everything okay?”

Shaking my head and remembering I need to answer him in words, I say, “Yeah. I’ll be around.”

He points in the direction of his tiny tot trekking away. “I’d better catch up with her. I’ll give you a call later tonight.”

He leans in and kisses my cheek before running off in the direction of Julia.

All I can do is stare in their direction. I watch them until I can’t see them any longer as one thought runs through my mind on repeat.

Holy shit. Vince is a father.
