Yerick thought for a moment and said, "I noticed a Toscanian restaurant nearby that looks pretty good. Let's give it a try." Rosalie agreed. "Sure, let's go. My treat." With that, Rosalie carried Steve and went to the restaurant with Yerick. Despite his slim build, Yerick had a surprisingly big appetite.
"Rose, since you're divorced from Sebastian and single again, does that mean I can pursue you now?" Rosalie was caught off guard by Yerick's sudden question and felt a headache coming on. "You're just a kid. Pursue me?" "I'm 19, and I'm a PhD student. Why can't I pursue you?" "Yerick, don't joke around. I've been divorced twice. Why would a kid like you want to pursue me?" "I'm not a kid," Yerick said with frustration. "Rose, I'm an adult now. I'm 19, and 20 in a few months. You're only three years older than me. I think I'm a good match for you." He lowered his head, muttering under his breath, looking like he was wronged.

Yerick dropped the subject and focused on his food.
After dinner, they walked back. Yerick carried Steve for Rosalie on the way.
"He's so well-behaved, not fussy at all," Yerick commented.
Rosalie smiled. "He's calm now, but when he was just a newborn, he cried all the time." "That must have been exhausting for you." Yerick's words brought Sebastian to Rosalie's mind. He had always helped her care for Steve, so her struggles hadn't felt too overwhelming.
"Not really," she replied.

"You should head upstairs. I'll get going now," Yerick said.
Rosalie nodded. "Alright, be careful on your way home. Make sure to textonce you get back." "I will." Yerick took a few steps before turning back. "Rose, I'm serious. Can I pursue you?

"If you meet someone else you like, you should pursue them." "No way, Rose! I'll wait for you. If you're ready someday, I'll pursue you. If not, I'll still wait. I don't mind." Rosalie sighed inwardly. Another admirer-this one a young one.
"Alright, Yerick. Head hnow. Be careful on the way." Yerick simply said goodbye, then turned and left.
Rosalie carried Steve upstairs. Once back in her apartment, she placed Steve on the bed and let out a soft sigh.
"Baby, don't worry. For now, Mom ne just wants to live a good life with you. If I ever do find someone, it will be someone who respects me, doesn't lie to me, and stays devoted.
