A week had passed. Penelope was adjusting to life on the road and Sam was still adjusting to being a dad. He and Penelope were in the hotel room. Sam was going over his schedule. Penelope was sitting on the floor watching TV. She turned off the TV and sat down on the couch next to Sam.
"Sam." She said.
"What?"
"Tell me how you met mommy."
"Ok." "It was right after my divorce." "Do you know what divorce means?"
"It's when you break up with someone and you're not married anymore."
"Right." "Anyway I met her at one of my autograph signings." I asked her out to dinner after." "Then we went back to my hotel room and um, talked." "The next morning I asked if she wanted to come on the road with me and she said yes." "She was with me for three weeks but I was still sad over my divorce and she knew it." "We really liked each other but I wasn't ready for a girlfriend yet." "So she went home." "I wouldn't trade those three weeks for anything." "Especially since some time in those three weeks you were made."
"Were you happy when you found out about me?"
"I was surprised." "Now that you're with me I'm so glad." "I love you Penelope." She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
Later that night Sam was reading Penelope a bedtime story. He looked over and noticed she was asleep/ He covered her up, kissed her on the cheek and left the room
The following night Sam was in a bind. He couldn't find anyone to watch Penelope during his match. He and Penelope went up to the new make-up artist. She was twenty-nine with long light brown hair and light brown eyes.
"Excuse me." Sam said. "Can you watch my daughter for me during my match?" "I'll give you twenty dollars."
"Sure sir." She said.
"This is my daughter Penelope." "Penelope stay here with, um...
"Emily."
"Stay here with Emily and I'll back as soon as my match is over." He left.
"Hi Penelope." Emily said.
"Hi." "That's a pretty ring." She said pointing to the engagement ring on her finger.
"Thanks I got engaged two weeks ago."
"You're getting married?"
"Yes."
