Eighty-Four

"Daddy!" shouted Gianna and Gavin with great delight.

Dennis smiled and lowered his head, grabbing Gianna. He kissed Gianna lightly on the cheek, causing the little girl to roll over to feel the brush of his coarse beard.

Dennis smiled broadly. He then turned to Aura who was looking at him with a dreamy gaze. Dennis knew Aura's mind was somewhere else.

"Aura." Said Dennis while sitting beside her. He put Gianna on his lap. One hand stroked Gavin's plump cheek.

Gavin smiled, making Dennis's heart tremble warmly. The fruit of his love for Aura is adorable. A handsome boy, and a beautiful girl.

"Come on Gi, you play with dolls, ya. I want to take over Gavin first." Said Dennis as he lowered the obedient Gianna.

"Den, tonight ..." Said Aura stopped.

Having not finished Aura's sentence, Dennis was already sighing heavily. He grabbed Gavin and ignored his wife's words the least.

"I asked permission to meet friends." Said Aura.
