starter for: @blakesara location: austin’s glenn estates home
Resting his hands on the kitchen island, Austin chuckled upon hearing the slam of the doors on the upper floor. Peyton. “I still can’t accept she’s not a little girl anymore. I don’t think I ever will. When did she become a teenager? I still see her as that four year old girl I’m trying to teach how to ride a bike, Blake.. and look at her now. All grown up.” Call him melancholic, but Austin did miss those simpler days when his Goldilocks saw him as nothing else but her hero. Back then, there was nothing he could do to disappoint her. Now.. also, it didn’t help to know just how Austin & Blake were at their daughter’s age. The only consoling thought was that they turned out okay. “Anyway, you want a glass of wine? Scotch?” It was still surreal to him to be back in Tonopah for good. Usually he’d come to spend time with Peyton, see his parents and that was it, but more often he’d buy plane tickets so they could come see him in Los Angeles. It was easier that way - well, it was easier for him. Yet now he moved back to spend more time with Peyton.. among other things. “Also, I’ve been meaning to ask you. Do you have any Easter plans with Peyton? I thought of taking her to Hawaii or Bahamas if you aren’t planning anything. Also, if not, you can always join us, Blake.”
