Recap: Enoch's gonna sing. Sam Smith is alive in this time too! 😊
Disclaimer: I don't own the song. It belongs to Sam Smith.

Mi POV
I stood in the living room while all the kids put their dishes away and came to sit on the couch.

"Welcome one and all! To the most spectacular event in all of the history of our loop!" I shouted. "We have a special treat for you today! A bet!"

I paused as they applauded.

"Yes, yes! Today, you will vote by raising your hands. Enoch is going to sing a song. If he is good, I do his dishes. If he is bad, he does my dishes. So... The privilege of my freedom is in your hands! Uh... Yeah! Everyone, I present to you... DOLLBOY!"

"Excuse me?!"

"I present to you ENOCH!"

Everyone clapped and I sat down on the floor next to Claire.

Enoch went to the front of the room and cleared his throat.
"Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?"

What?????

Horace POV
Oh my gosh...

The button on my suit is loose.

I should sew it back later.

Emma POV
Holy-
I never knew Enoch could sing like that. Mi is screwed.

"Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me"

Abe POV

He's... Actually pretty good...

Claire POV

😊🔙👄

Enoch sings pretty.

Olive POV

I knew that he could do it!
...
I'm gonna ask Claire to play dolls with me later.

Millard POV

...

Fiona POV

I knew he had a hidden talent. He just needed motivation to let it shine through. Even if it's being taunted by Mi.

Hugh POV

I see Fiona watching him intently. Humph! Wait. The kid's only like 13 physically. I don't have to worry. I do have to admit though. He is pretty dang good.

"Why am I so emotional?
No, it's not a good look, gain some self-control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt"

Victor POV

Nice going, Enoch.

Enoch POV
I love proving people wrong.

Bronwyn POV
I'm surprised. Hopefully the little ones will learn not to make ridiculous bets.

"Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me"

Miss P POV

Splendid, Enoch. He keeps surprising me today.

"Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me"

Mi POV

"Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me"

I watched, wide eyed. Holy s-
I'm in deep doo doo.

Enoch POV
"Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me."

Everyone except Mi stood up and applauded. After a few seconds, Mi slowly got up and clapped with them. The look on her face is priceless! She came up and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Nice work, Enoch." She said. She stood in front of me and said, "Ok, everyone. It's obvious that Enoch won the bet. So congratulations!"

Everyone clapped. I took a bow.

"Starting tomorrow," said Mi. "I will be doing Enoch's dishes for a month. Good night!"

As I went to go to the basement, Miss P stopped me. "Mr. O'Connor, I had no idea you sang so well."

I shrugged.

"It's ok to be proud of yourself, you know."

She left and I went to the basement.

Mi POV

😰😫😩😣
