“What’s that?” Shaun asked.
“A person who designs things and builds things,” Pat replied.
“Cool. I like that. Oh, and by the way, Monica made pancakes today. Said something about you dating for four months exactly.”
“That’s so nice of her,” Pat said. “Not even I knew that.”
“Me neither,” I said with a laugh. Monica was truly something out of a dream. Just then she popped her head in the door.
“Hurry up or you’ll all be late. I made almond meal pancakes and I’ve got lots of berries and fruits to go with them.”
“First you need to see my track,” Shaun demanded.
“Sure, kiddo,” I replied. “Show us the way to your creation, captain!”
“It’s actually very good,” Monica said. “He’s good with building things.”
“I am,” Shaun agreed. “It’s fun.”
As we all followed Shaun, Pat took my hand.
“Happy four-month anniversary,” she whispered.
“The best four months of my life,” I said. And I meant it. After all we’d both been through with our previous partners, this relationship was a dream that, thankfully, was real. “Tonight, we’ll celebrate,” I added.
“I think that sounds like a plan,” Pat agreed. “I could do with…visiting a waterfall…”
I laughed. I knew exactly what she had in mind.
“Waterfall it is! And now let’s go find that kid and his latest masterpiece.”
“Let’s,” Pat agreed. And with that, we set out together on another beautiful day in our lives.
