“I totally get it. I swear kids growing up are the reason I get half my business. Their interests change so often.”  

…

Roman nods his head, smiling lightly. It was heartwarming to him how attached his mom was to his son which was to be expected since it was one of her life’s dream to be a grandmother and she didn’t exactly think she would be getting any grandkids from Roman. His life was too wild and he never saw himself settling down somewhere long enough to start a family. It took him some time fighting against the whole idea of a suburban dad life, too scared of how that would affect him since he was used to the rush of racing, but that life was all he had now and he loved every second of it. He loved that he was able to be around his son and watch him grow. He loved being a suburban dad.

“Yeah, I was actually meaning to do that but the shop became too busy during the holidays and it kind of slipped away. He’s definitely the person I trust the most to watch over the shop when I’m not around, though.” Roman couldn’t agree more with the fact that Rio was a reliable guy and not only was he a great employee but he also was a great friend to Lili and helped her out when Roman wasn’t around. “Oh.” He says out of surprise when she invites him to stay for pizza. “I would love that, actually. Any chance to spend some more time with the little fella, of course.” He smiles lightly. “If that’s not a problem with you, of course.”

She had seen the past few years how much her ex wanted to prove himself as a good father for their son and maybe now was the time to fully appreciate that, after all he was close to losing his life. And if she was honest with herself, she never really wanted Javi to grow up without his father around him.

Roman knew that despite all his efforts in being the best father he could be, he still had a lot to make up for and not only to Javi but to Lili too. Those first two years after his son was born, he couldn’t have felt more insecure about himself and his ability to raise a child. If he was being truly honest with himself, having kids wasn’t even on his original plans — but then again, his original plan was racing until that’d end in some sort of tragedy. He liked how things were now better.

With loving eyes, he watches the interaction between the woman and their son. Despite all their problems and the fact their relationship was far from being healthy when they were still together, Roman couldn’t deny the fact she had been the only woman he had ever truly loved in that sense. And even after all those years, he still admired her the same and would always hold a special spot in his heart for her. Once Javi is inside, he crosses his arms over his chest and smiles at Lili. “She can’t help it, you know? I’m her only son and he’s her only grandchild. It’s only fair that she gets to spoil the heck out of him.” Roman chuckles, removing strands of his hair from his face. “Good too, busy with the shop but nothing out of the ordinary. I wish I could take some days off but I’m not sure I trust the boys to handle things non-car related yet. No offense to Rio, of course, he’s my most trusted employee.” He’s quick to say with a small smile on his face.

Like any other woman whose heart got broken, she had been almost a mess after they broke up despite the fact that it was mutual but when she found out that she was pregnant, it gave her reason to stay strong and not becoming a total crying wreck. After Javi’s birth, it wasn’t quite easy for her to date again, feeling that she had gone a bit rusty. But that didn’t really stopped her from continuing until she was (kinda) good at it again, feeling more confident and a little more daring as well.

51 / What makes them a hypocrite?

“Now that’s a pretty harsh accusation... but like every other person I have my flaws or do mistakes which I fully embrace and learn from. Also I’m being careful and think before of what I teach to Javi so he can grow up being his own person.“

52 / If your character was under quarantine, what type of quarantine person would they be? (Productive? Hobbyist? Lazy?)

“Probably.. a mix of being lazy, doing my hobbies and teaching Javi if he’s in the mood for it.“

53 / What does freedom mean to them?
