Saint fought against the neverending, horrific school traffic. This was his very first time picking Sanai up from school dismissal– so he wasn't too familiar with the tactic of arriving early to get a parking space.
The tight parking lot was full of luxury vehicles, but some parents did drive minivans. Saint vowed to himself early in life he would never purchase one of those. If he had that many children there was a problem.
He continuously circled the parking lot searching for a free space. His worriedness started to increase as the students began to exit through their assigned doors. On cue, he saw a car with their reverse lights on preparing to exit the spot. Saint waited impatiently as the mother took her slow time reversing the vehicle.
"Man, come on." Saint mumbled under his breath. It seemed like everyone moved in slow motion when you had things to do and places to be.
After an eternity, Saint quickly drove into the spot then threw on a pair of sunglasses. It didn't do much to hide his appearance, but it was enough.
Saint walked along the sidewalk towards his daughter. He watched as she stood looking through the parking lot, he assumed she was searching for Celeste. Just as he reached her, he tapped her shoulder gaining her attention.
Sanai was confused for a moment, before she recognized who he was soon after. A smile graced her face as her arms motioned for her to be picked up. Saint moved on command and lifted her small body from the ground. He didn't fail to notice the lack of her front tooth, Celeste mentioned playing tooth fairy recently.
"Daddy, you're here!" Sanai said eagerly as she looked him directly in the face. Her little hand toyed with his locs– Saint noticed the girls enjoyed doing that.
After saying a farewell to her instructor, they returned back to the car. A few days ago Saint brought Sanai a booster seat for just his car. This way he and Celeste wouldn't have to swap, he could just distribute this one between his cars.
As he put the seatbelt on her, she asked him a question, "Do you like my hair? From one and ten." Sanai said while holding up all ten fingers.
Saint was amused at the sight, "I give it a ten, princess."
Sanai appeared pleasantly pleased with his answer, "Mommy did it today."
This made Saint think back to last night. Sanai's hair was covered in a messy ponytail when he left, but now her natural hair was braided to the back and placed into a small knot bun.
"She did?" He continued the conversation. She replied back, "Yes silly." Sanai giggled at her own response, before Saint shut her door.
Saint had nothing planned specifically, but he did need to stop by his parents house. His mother brought Sanai a few things, so he needed to pick that up.
During the drive there, a call from Celeste rang through. Her delicate voice spoke, "Hello?"
