“Did you have fun today, sweet boy?” Sebastian asked as the two of them walked back to the truck after the cave tour ended. 


Jaxsen smiled up at him, his face beaming with excitement. “Yes! That was so much fun, Daddy. Can we do it again next year?” He bounced a bit on his toes, turning toward Sebastian, that megawatt smile growing that much brighter. 


“If that’s what you want to do, Jack.” Sebastian unlocked the truck and opened the back door so Jaxsen could climb inside. “You want to stop and get some dinner on the way back to the hotel?” 


Jaxsen nodded. “Can we go eat at the tower?” he asked excitedly. Sebastian ruffled the boy’s hair and smiled. 


“How about we eat at the tower tomorrow before heading back? It can be our final meal before heading home. Deal?” 


Jaxsen nodded. “Okay, Daddy. Where are we gonna eat today, then?” 


Sebastian smiled, glad to see there wasn’t disappointment in his eyes. “How about Italian? I know a great little place.”
