Antonio was pleased over the fact that he had not only managed to get time off from work, but also persuaded his ex into letting him keep his son for an extra day as a result. He tried to make it sound as if her and her new boyfriend could benefit from it, while in reality, he was the one benefiting from it all. “Alright, be careful now, okay?” He shouted after the boy that ran as fast as he could on his tiny legs in the direction of the sandbox with his little bucket and shovel in hand. Antonio could not help but grin with pride, watching his little boy climb up into the box and immediately attempting at filling the bucket with sand, even though most of it kind of landed on the side of it. “Kids ey.. I like to think he hasn’t gotten his coordination from me, that much is for sure.” He said out loud to nobody in particular.

Working as Leanne’s assistant meant that Abigail got a lot of opportunities to volunteer around the city. People could spot her at most events and charities hosted by the city, usually with information pamphlets in hand. After what happened at the ball, the mayor decided it would be best to host a group therapy a couple of times a week and Abi offered her time to make sure the community came together again. “Oh hi! Actually the snacks are to your right. Yup! Through those doors.” The meeting was over which meant people would start to make their way to the free treats and drinks the committee promised. She was standing outside the main doors to help people find their way. 

“I didn’t dress up and come here looking this nice for no one to notice, damn.” AJ was late to the charity ball, but he rolled in with style. He handed one of the volunteers a check with a hefty contribution to the charities and greeted a couple of people with a smile before he walked to the bar and ordered himself a cuba libre. Everyone was dressed better than he ever saw them, they were smiling and dancing, happy as can be to celebrate the local fire department who had been through a lot for small town first respondents. “I was expected a country band, but I’m pleasantly surprised.” He said to the person next to him.
