In Luc's hoversine on the way to shop, he taught Senthys an important rule to protect him. Now that they've arrived, how well did the first-time-father get it across?
At the entrance, two women who were leaving both greeted the boy. One wiggled her fingers at the tyke, and each gave Luc an appreciative once over.
He'd grown used to that over the years, but this appraisal had a different impact.
More sweet than sensual.
Interesting. Women found a man attractive because he was with a child. How had he missed knowing that?
Inside, the store had a clean smell, like freshly pressed linen and well-oiled wood, with an undertone of vanilla.
Senthys drew in a lungful. "I want some cookies."
"It does smell like cookies in here, doesn't it?"
A selection of clothing displayed various sizes and colors of sportswear, casualwear, and in the back, a sign designated formalwear. Formalwear for kids? Did boys need tuxes?
Before Luc could investigate, Senthys tugged at his hand and pointed to a play area near the front of the store. "I wanna go see that."
"What was the rule?"
The boy stuck a finger into his mouth, rocking himself side to side. "Stay with you."
"That's right."
"If you go see it, I can see it." He tilted his head. "Please?"
Luc could find no fault in that logic, nor resist the appeal. "Since you asked politely. Let's go see."

He seems to have everything under control with the kid.
In the next page, all that control goes out the window. lol
