Luci "Syd and Stormi want to take me to brunch, but the boys have hockey practice." I tell Easton as my phone goes off. I'm typing my refusal when he closes his hand over mine. "I asked them to take you shopping. Go with them. I got hockey practice, sweetness. You pick them up all week and take care of them while I practice. You need time to do something for you too." "I like hockey practice." I protest. He pushes my hair behind my ear. "I know. You're the best kind of mom. But humor me and go with them." "Ok." I type my acceptance and Sydney replies "Good because Stormi is turning in the gate now." I look up and laugh. "They are already here." "I know." He adds before I go grab my things. "Alright, you need something to wear on your date tonight. And it's colder than a polar bear'
