Chapter 35

  He buckled his own seat belt, "Done! Let's blast off!"

  Miranda and I laughed together as I begin to drive our way to the hardware store.

  "I hope you're not nervous." I tell her.

  "I am but I'll try my best." She answers.

  "You can do this. And don't worry about Ben, I'll take care of him for the day."

  "YEY!" Ben chimes from the backseat. “Are we going to do a lot of things today Uncle Hugo?”

  “Of course we are!” I cheered him on and he seemed more excited.

  I smiled at myself feeling happy that I am going to spend time with Ben knowing that we both had a difficult start.

  "Thank you very much for this Hugo." Miranda says smilingly, winning a piece of me.

  "No need to thank me. It's nothing." I answered her as I smiled back.

  Finally I dropped her off the hardware store and she glares at it over her shoulders before she closes the passenger door as she steps out of the car. She looks nervous yet beautiful. She looks ready but unsure.
