The table between us is ridiculously expensive, the fresh flowers, the baby in my lap since this place has no high chair so much for child friendly she eats from the bottle all too happy to be drinking from a pink sippy cup. I eat the bread by dipping it in olive oil and vinegar. He dosent touch the bread but I'm gonna enjoy it.

"So how did you meet my father?"
His lips part, his fingers tighten on the cloth. I watch his eyes trace around the empty room before they settle on me. When there's a live man playing the saxophone.

"He came to me with your baby picture." I bite my lip in the baby photo. I honestly barely had any.
"How did you know it was me?"
"The eyes and the stubbornly cute pout." He awnsers my cheeks warm when he calls me cute. I know he means baby cute.

"Can I see it when you have A chance I'm sure you don't have now-" he pulls it out of his coat pocket. I feel my heart do something ridiculously stupid.

I look at the picture and smile brightly until my eyelashes are taking up most of my vision picking up that photo "she looks like you Katerina." He nods to Emilia. I feel the warmness spread throughout my entire body looking at the photo.

My curly brown locks round baby face similar to Emilia's my tiny teeth filled with food I feel the tears burn my eyes I had no baby pictures and it's reminding me how sad I am my childhood was fucked. My nose scrunched up. My eyes are a little green, just barely . My nose is identical to Emilia's.Yeah okay she looks like me as a baby.

Hey he's in front of me on his knees and he's still cupping my face he's on his knees for me. Colten Everette. Emilianna's eyes start to water up .

I bite my lip "are you okay" he questions I nod my head Emilia looks at me "mommy don't cry." I wipe the tears "I'm fine" I exhale trying to keep it in. My throat starts to feel bigger to swallow. "I'm just a little bit."
"Keep holding me like that you might actually fool me into thinking you care."
His thumb wipes my cheek with tears I sniffle as the salty tears dissolve under his fingers.
"I wouldn't want anyone finding that out." He says softly as jokes. I hum nodding in his hands. I bring Emilia's hand up to my lips kissing her little fingers. I'm okay, I nod looking back down at her. Her bottom lip wobbled.

handing him the photo Ive become really sensitive since Emilia. He goes back to his seat and i'm off the entire night.

He takes us home Emilianna's asleep in my arms and curled up. He walks me all the way to my door.

I shift Emilia in my arm unlocking the door "come in." I nod my head "I don't think that's a good idea." he says "ah growth the old Colten wouldv'e had me pinned against the wall by now." I crack a joke and his lips thin out. which is surprisingly possible. "we're not gonna have sex" I say giggling as I enter my home, turning on the light in my living room. I drop my shoes at the door "we're gonna play a game of 20 questions. You ask me what you want about Emilia I hope and I'll ask you whatever I please."
"why strictly Emilia ." He mumbles
