“Let’s go see her! Please!” Lexi pleaded. “I want to see Gigi.”
“Gigi is sleeping right now.” Maddox picked Lexi back up and swung her around again which sent her into another bout of giggles. He settled her on his hip and rested his forehead on hers. “But we’ll come back and see her soon.”
Lexi nodded and played with a chain that hung around Maddox’s neck. “Where’s Hannah?”
“What am I chopped liver?” he asked as if he was offended.
She giggled again. “Yes!”
“Fair enough. Hannah is with her mommy, but maybe I can see if we can go pick her up. Do you want to do that?”
“Yes!” Lexi nodded.
“And maybe we should get…pizza!”
“Yes!” She nodded. “Can Sadie come?”
“Of course, Sadie can come!”
“Oh no,” I shook my head. “That’s okay.”
“Please,” Lexi pleaded.
“It’s my treat.” Maddox offered.
I was shaking my head as my stomach growled loudly.
Maddox grinned a grin that I was sure had gotten him his way a time or two, or a thousand. “I think that’s a yes.”
“Sure,” I agreed.
I needed to eat. And there were worse things than eating dinner with a gorgeous man and an adorable little girl.
