"That's very girl math of you," she teased, more thankful than ever for the change in conversation to something far less anxiety-inducing and equally less doom and gloom. Traffic slowed in front of them, Kaden waiting until it came to a rolling stop before she quickly leaned over, hand reaching for his far cheek so she could pull him into a featherlight kiss, "Maybe I'll even take you to the Lego store. Belated birthday present." After all, his celebration had been rather small with the chaos of their twins and their general lives, "Flatiron, not Fifth Ave. Avoid the tourists."
Kyle pointed at his temple, tapping on the tender spot multiple times. "Very mindful," he mused. When they came to their stop, he found himself sighing. Releasing the tension that seemed to always bracket his muscles. Her sudden kiss brought forth an even broader smile. One that made the rest of his tension fall away. "But what if I wanna fight them today?" He softly pounded a fist against her knee, a playful scrunch to his brows erupting before he bared his teeth. "Show them what happens when I get to have whatever Legos I want."
