Theodore answered the phone and asked in a gentle voice, âAre you awake? Iâm outside right now.
â
âI got up early! Iâm downstairs, and Horace has arrived too.
â
Theodore was a little surprised.
The excitement in her voice made him assume that she was really looking forward to their date.
This bettered his mood almost instantly.
When he went downstairs, he saw Horace standing a distance away, next to a bright pink car with a strange look on his face.
Even the car was well prepared.
It seemed that love was quite capable of inspiring romance in a womanâs heart.
The optimistic grin on Theodoreâs face widened.
Ignoring the mortified and tense Horace, he directed the wheelchair to the side of the car, staring at it.
This was the first time he ever thought a pink car could look so beautiful.
The car window rolled down, revealing Arianaâs gorgeous face.
She was in a lovely summer dress today, with daisy-shaped earrings twinkling from her earlobes.
Her smile seemed more radiant than the sun in the clear blue sky.
âWhat are you waiting for? Get in the car!â
Theodoreâs heart leaped.
He tried to calm himself down and glanced at Horace.
Horace immediately understood the look and took a few steps forward to open the car door for Theodore.
Suddenly, Theodoreâs good mood completely disappeared when he saw a little kid with her head down playing with toys in the back seat.
The atmosphere in the car was very strange.
Sitting in the driverâs seat, Horace drove in silence.
Theodore and Ariana were in the back seat and they didnât say anything either.
Between the two people in the back seat, the little girl was playing with a duck toy.
Squeaks of the toy duck echoed from time to time from the back seat of the car.
Horace knew how disappointed Theodore must feel at the moment, so he didnât dare to look at Theodoreâs face.
Instead, he focused on driving.
Alina pinched the big duckâs belly and played with it, making it squeal even more.
She was really having fun.
Theodore could no longer stand the noise, which annoyed him greatly, and confiscated the little girlâs duck toy.
He tossed it into the mesh bag on the back of the chair.
Alina was stunned.
She didnât cry or make a sound though.
She just pursed her lips and pulled a toy chicken out of her bag and pinched it hard.
A shrill noise echoed throughout the car.

Theodore felt he was losing more and more patience and he tweaked his eyebrows to suppress his annoyance.
From the carâs rear-view mirror, Horace could see everything that was happening in the backseat and he had a hard time containing his laughter.
âHow about some music?â Ariana suggested with a hint of embarrassment when she noticed that Theodore was genuinely upset.
Theodore looked at her with a smirk.
Before he could say anything, Horace played the music.
A rather amusing line echoed in the deafening music, âYou brought other peopleâs children to date with me.
Have you ever thought about my feelings?â
