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." Holding the boy's hand, he entered the play area.

Luc may be a first-time father but he’s a good one. Those ladies know it when they see it. 🙂
Oh, good call. You’re so right. 🙂
This book is so great! I loved seeing the lighter side of Luc. I loved KNOWING there was a lighter side of Luc!!
Thank you. He and Pietas are both unintentionally funny. I love showing that side of them. Befuddled Luc is adorable. lol
Enjoyed your excerpt. Giggled at Lucs surprise at the women checking him out. He’s a great father and it shows. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. He’s never gone near a kid until this one glommed onto him and refused to let go. LOL He had no idea.
Children often trip up adults with logic that can’t be denied.
That is true. My youngest was unbelievable at that. He would also ask for 7 different things he knew I would say no to, and then ask for what he really wanted. lol I never caught on until he confessed as an adult. 🙂
Enjoyed the book
Thank you so much, Janet!
