“Do you know how to check?” | ask, bending to look under the sink again.
He looks up, our eyes meeting and | realise we're too close...
“It can’t be that hard,”
“Which means no.” | counter lightly tucking my hair behind my ear, only for it to fall forward once more.
“Do you think | can’t?” he asks challengingly.
“Of course, with your stubbornness, you will try to succeed.” | stand up, crossing
my arms.
“And if | do, then what will | get in return?”
| cock a brow. “Clean dishes,” | whisper cheekily.
He chuckles, “Hmm, givesomething more.” He counters.
“Ok fine, fix the sink and I'll give you one wish since it’s Christmas time.”
“Then you have yourself a deal, Ms Toussaint.” He replies as he grabs a pot and gets to work.
Ever the businessman.
Well, if he can fix it, I'll be happy, and | don’t think I'll mind whatever he asks.

| clear my throat, what is the matter withtoday?
| busy myself cleaning up the counters, only stopping when Sebastian
swears.
“So, seems like someone’s been busy.” He remarks, as | hear something pouring out of the pipe and it's

Standing up he washes his hands and | pass him a dish towel staring at the large bowl! of beads. He must have
squeezed them all in and they must have expanded in the bend.
Goddess, this child!
“So, looks like you oweone wish.” He remarks cockily, tossing the dishcloth down and crossing his arms.
“Although it was your son who was the cause of this,” | say,
“Are you trying to get out of it?”
“Not at all!” | deny it with a pout.
He smirks, not believing me. “Mhmm, good. So, what | want is...”
| look up at him, a thousand thoughts of what he might ask fromgoing through my head, but not one comes
close to what he asks for.
“A smile.”
“What?” | ask, confusion flitting through me...
“A smile. Givea smile that’s just for me,” he says quietly.

That's all? A smile?
A warmth washes over me, and a soft smile naturally crosses my face as | look into his eyes.

the kitchen.
“Daddy! Mommy, cplay a gwith us!” he says.
| step back smoothly and cock a brow. “Of course, but first, would you like to explain this?” | ask, pointing at the
bowl on the floor.

“Uh oh... Holy Guacamole!” he says, clapping a hand over his mouth before he turns and runs out of the kitchen
as fast as his little legs can possibly carry him. “Xander!” | shout, hurrying after him.
This boy!
