Harry is happy. He can finally say it. His house is properly decorated, his kid is back. Everything is finally on track. He is so happy that he even adopted a kitten to keep him company while Milly was away. He hasn't given him a name yet because he knows Milly would feel betrayed when she finds out about him, he already feels bad that he rescued him without her but the poor thing was there lost in their backyard.

"Daddy, can we call him Blossom?"

They have just had a yoga session and are lying on the grass in their backyard, relaxing. Milly is with her head on Harry's belly and the kitten lying curled up in the crook of her neck.

"I think it's a cute name, Bubbles. It suits him."

He is a fluffy kitten with thick orange and white fur with yellow eyes.

"He's so furry. It tickles" Her laughter sends a vibration that makes Blossom wake up and go lie down on the grass.

"What do you think about going out for lunch? I miss having lunch with you" He pouts. "This house is nice but sucks without you.

"I'd be delighted" Her pleased expression makes Harry laugh.

"Look at you, using big words now" He teases.

"Precisely" She teases back.

He shakes his head and they go inside to get ready.

Before camp Harry was worried about Milly being there alone in a new town, but maybe that was exactly what she needed. It was good for her, she is much more outgoing and more vocal. He likes it.

"What are you going to wear, Dad?" She rubs her chin.

He rubs his chin too, he had no idea "I don't know yet, what do you suggest, Bubbles?"

"Let me see." She walks into Harry's room and goes to his closet. He is amused and curious to see what Milly has in her mind.

She picks up a vintage Chicago Cubs shirt and another printed one that he hasn't worn in a while, a pink velvet trouser and a pair of white sneakers. She has taste.

"Do you like it?"

"Yes ma'am" He says pretending to be studying the look.

"I'll be right back" She goes straight to her room.

As he finishes getting ready he hears a knock on his bedroom door.

"Come in."

She is perfect.

She is wearing a skirt in the same shade of Harry's trousers, a white shirt with bracelets that match the colors of his printed shirt and her white converses.

"How do I look?" She smooths down her skirt.

"Splendid." He takes her hand and spins her around.

"Can you do my hair now, please?" She asks.

"Sure, what do you want?"

"Two buns."

He fixes her hair and then his. Milly leaves some treats for Blossom and after a few minutes they leave.

Harry and Milly go to an Italian restaurant downtown, they were both craving pasta. Harry's been to this restaurant before when she was at camp and really wanted to take her there. The place is a bit crowded, has nice music playing in the background and only a few tables available. The friendly receptionist whose name tag says Sarah greets them and takes them inside. She puts them at the table next to a large glass window with an amazing view. She hands Harry the menu and lets them decide what they will eat.
