Tara let out a heavy sigh. “You keep spoiling her like this, and she’s gonna be impossible to handleter.
“Mom.”
Ethan shot her a look. “You’re literally the one who spoiled her first.”
Tara looked away, clearly guilty. “That’s not truc…”
“I don’t have much going on at work today. I’ll take her with me. You could use a break.”
Honestly, caring for a toddler was
more exhausting than any job. They didn’t have help at home, just Tara and Hannah tag–teaming every day to keep up with Dulce. A little time off wouldn’t kill anyone.
And Dulce definitely got the gist. Her little arms flew up as she yelled, “Work! Daddy!”
Ethan picked her up with one arm and grabbed the diaper bag with the other. Bottles, snacks, diapers- fully stocked.
He headed down and buckled her into her car seat.
Tara trailed after him, muttering nonstop.
“Mom, this isn’t her first timeing with me. It’s fine.”
“I know, but every time shees home with something expensive–don’t even try to tell me it’s just a gift. from the office–I’m starting to think she’s hanging out with some sketchy people.” Tara’s eyes locked on the gemstone bracelet around Dulce’s wrist. “She won’t even take that thing off.”
Ethan shrugged. “Probably something one of the staff gave her. Looks fancy, but I doubt it’s real.”
“Looks fancy?”
Tara knew better. She’d seen enough to tell those stones were the real deal–high–end quality too. The only reason they didn’t scream luxury was because they were strung on some red thread like a craft fair trinket. But no regr staffer could afford to hand that to a toddler.
As soon as they got to the office, Ethan had to jump into a meeting.
He handed Dulce off to Tony and warned him, “She just started running. Blink, and she’s gone. Watch her.”
“Got it, got it.”
Tony grinned, eyes already locked on the toddler. “Don’t worry, Mr. Jackson. I’ve got this.”
Ethan gave him a quick nce, then walked off toward the conference room.
“Ms. Dulce,” Tony said as he scooped her up. “Miss me, sweetheart?”
“Let go!”

Dulce squirmed hard, twisting left and right, but couldn’t shake him off.

Tony nced around, his expression suddenly tense. When no one was looking, he moved toward the elevator. He leaned in and whispered, “I’m taking you somewhere fun, alright? Don’t yell.”
Dulce was smart. The second she saw the elevator, she knew they were going out.
Her fingers curled in excitement, and her wide eyes sparkled.
Then, out of nowhere, she shouted, “Mommy!”
Tony jumped. He mped a finger to her lips and hissed, “Hey, hey, shhh! If anyone hears you, we’re not going anywhere!”
Dulce didn’t get it. She just knew she was finally going to see her mother again. She would y with her and bring her tons of gifts.
To stay under the radar, Tony called a car.
He got in like he was pulling off a crime and gave the driver an address.
Ten minutester, they arrived.
It waste spring. The weather sat right in that perfect zone–warm enough for short sleeves, cool enough forfort.
Dawn was already waiting at the entrance. Her jet–ck hair was swept to one side, and in the soft sunlight, her pale skin looked even more fragile.
She saw them, pulled off her sunsses, and lit up. “Sweetheart.”
“Mommy!”
Dulce threw her arms out andunched herself into her mother.
Tony didn’t say a word until Dawn had her. “Thanks for doing this, Tony,” she said gently.
“No problem.” Tony scratched his head, ufortable. “But, Ms. West… this can’t keep going. Mr. Jackson’s gonna find out. Maybe it’s time to-”
She’de to him six months ago. And even now, he still didn’t know what she really wanted.
If this was just about the kid…
She’d already brought Dulce back. Clearly, she had no ns to take her again.
But if it was about Ethan…
It’d been half a year. She hadn’t even tried to see him.
She still wore that soft smile, calm as ever, unreadable as hell. After a pause, she asked, “Isn’t this good

enough?”
Tony didn’t answer.
Good enough? He couldn’t see how.
But she was calling the shots. He wasn’t in a ce to argue.
They chatted for a bit. Then Tony left.

With Dawn watching Dulce, he’d just be in the way. But going back to the office didn’t feel right either. He found a coffee shop nearby and waited it out.
About an hour and a halfter, Ethan texted, asking where Dulce was.
Tony almost dropped his phone. He quickly forwarded the message.
Dawn sent a picture back right away.
Dulce was in a ball pit,ughing her head off.
A minuteter, Ethan replied, “Meeting’s wrapping up. Bring her back.”
Tony let out a huge breath, drained his cup, and stood up. He headed back to the mall to pick them up.
Dawn and Dulce were still at the indoor yground. The ce was built for toddlers, and even the tiniest kids loved it. Dulce couldn’t do much yet, but she didn’t care. Just watching the other kids run around was enough to light her up.
“Sweetheart.”
