While Tara puts Lilia in her car seat, I stand in front of my car talking to Justin.

"Thank for coming. Tara was really excited to meet you."

"It was my pleasure. I had fun with you three."

"Good. Now we have to go back to work and you get to go do whatever you do during the day."

"I help my sister at Target, thank you very much."

"Well your job sounds fun. Wanna switch?"

"Definitely not. You'll be alright."

"No I won't. I wanna work at Target!"

"No you don't, trust me." We both laugh, then there's an awkward silence.

I move closer to Justin and plant a kiss on his cheek, leaving my lipstick right on his cheekbone.

"Oops. You got a little something right there." I giggle, using my thumb to wipe the lipstick away.

"Thanks."

"There. Now I have to go to work."

"Have fun. I'll see you later." Justin smiles, waving at me as he walks away and I go to get in the car.

"That was the cutest thing ever! Lilia did you see that? No, you didn't because you're facing the other way but seriously, you missed out!" Tara says as I get in.

"Tara, shut up." I start the car and exit the parking lot.

"But it was so beautiful and magical and majestic. You two were meant to be together!"

"Please, shut your face."

"I can't. I'm gonna be talking about this all day. It wasn't even a kiss on the lips and it was still the best thing to ever exist in the history of the entire world."

"Tara!" I whine.

"Okay, fine. I'll just think about it quietly in my head. I won't bother you with my amazing thoughts of you and your new boyfriend."

"He's not my boyfriend."

"Somebody who didn't know you two would think otherwise. Anyways, back to work, and back to daycare for you little miss." Tara looks back at Lilia, who giggles, kicking her feet.

"Back to nap time for her. She's tired." I say.

"I wish I had nap time. You're lucky Lilia."

"She is very lucky. And spoiled." I shake my head.

1:26 pm

"Ariana, your daughter is asleep."

"That's great. I just hope she stays asleep when I take her out of her car seat." I turn into the parking lot of our job and turn the car off.

"Back to work for us. We have four minutes." Tara says.

"Can you take my stuff upstairs while I take Lily to daycare?"

"Absolutely." Tara grabs my purse while I take Lilia out of her car seat.

She wakes up for a few seconds, fussing, so I rub her back to put her back to sleep.

I close the car door softly and lock the car before walking to the day care.

"We're back!" I say to Caitlyn.
