Skye Stark's Daughter (Stark's Daughter 3)

Chapter 15

Dad picks up Hope's old clothes and then Zeke takes Lucas to the park, leaving me and Hope alone. I pull her onto my lap as we watch her favourite programme, Spongebob.

"Mummy, can i have some popcorn please?" She asks.

"Of course you can." I stand up and put it in the microwave. Then it pops i bring some over to her and place the bowl in her lap. I then grab her duvet from her bedroom and drape it over as we snuggle up.

"What do you think of Lucas?" I ask her.

"He cries a lot." Hope points out and i laugh.

"You cried more when you were a baby. You wouldn't stop crying." I reply, tickling her and she bursts out laughing and kicking.

Zeke returns with a pizza and gives it to Hope to eat in her bedroom.

"what's the occasion?" I ask as she races past me and Zeke pulls out a bottle of wine from the shopping bag.

"Both of the kids are busy. I was going to make a romantic dinner on the night Hope was taken. So Im doing it now." He explains.

An hour later the kids are in bed and Zeke has made a delicious lasagna and red wine.

I smile at the big effort he's made.

"How's the band doing?" I ask.

"Great, actually that's what i want to talk to you about. We're doing a tour next year."

"Wow, that's amazing! Well done." I reply, holding his hands across the table.

"In the UK." He whispers.

"Oh." I say. The UK, where my mum died, where i found out who my dad is.

"We can make it a holiday. The band is so excited." His eyes glimmer with excitement.

"I bet Callum isn't if we're coming." I mumble.

"Callum wants you to come."

"Why? I thought he had a fiancee?"

"He did, until she dumped him."

"Wow, how did he take it?"

"Better then we thought." Zeke mutters.

"This dinner is delicious." I comment.

"We should do this more often." He suggests.

"Every Thursday?" I offer.

"Yeah."
