elliot had never been a fan of kids, the one exception being his kid sister. they were just too loud, needy and annoying for the most part. sometimes they were good for entertainment, since a lot of them lacked proper social filters and spewed out whatever came to their mind, but that was it. however, as he stood in the park, leaned up against his car and a cute little boy ran over to compliment his car and ask him questions about it, he couldnāt help but feel a little warm inside. he entertained him, answering all his questions, wondering in the back of his mind where on earth whoever was supposed to be looking after him was.Ā āmom look, this is the kind of car iām going to get when iām older!ā he said to a woman rushing towards them. well, there was the answer to that question.Ā āyou should keep better track of your kid.ā he said before doing a double take.Ā āwait a minuteā veronica?ā his eyes widened slightly. it was rare that he showed when something caught him off guard, since having a good poker face was an essential part of his job, but this was something he had not been prepared for whatsoever. he looked back at the little boy, suddenly seeing some of himself in his features.Ā āhow old did you say you were, buddy?ā he asked, doing the mental math as he tried to process the possibility that this could be his son. / @malcmenteā
