Your father is out of town for the next two days, and I have vanilla bean ice cream, super sweet strawberries, and homemade chocolate syrup. Who wants to watch The Wizard of Oz with me?
Lilah
Homemade as in you made it?
Dillan
That could legit be the deal-breaker, Mom.
Mom
Why?
Lilah
Let’s just say you should leave the baking to Amelia.
Mom
I can melt chocolate, Lilah.
Dillan
Can you though? I’m pretty sure you burned it last year.
Mom
That was one time, and your father distracted me. He won’t be here, but I’m hoping my daughters will be.
Dillan
I can come after work. Want me to pick up sandwiches from The Busy Bee?
Lilah
Ohh... yes! Can I have a chicken Caesar salad wrap with truffle fries and a strawberry shake?
Mom
Sweetie . . .
Lilah
I’m thirty-three weeks pregnant. Not a word.
Mom
I was just going to say that sounds great.
Dillan
Sure you were.
Mom
So you’ll both come?
Dillan
