We stand there for hours, talking, laughing and hugging. I grab her knee and tickle her as she does the same. She draws a heart in the air with her soft finger, and pushes it toward me.

"you babysitting tonight"? i ask
"yeah, great huh?"
I smile as i help Piper put on her coat, seems like she always needs help with something.
"Brandon," Piper asks looking up at me with her little eyes, i brush the red hair away from her eyes. "can you come with us?"
