The cries of children screaming, yelling, laughing rang in my ears, but oddly enough, I found I didn't mind.

Shota ran through the indoor playground, following a girl in a red dress and a boy in a black long-sleeved shirt. They jumped into the ball pit and started throwing the plastic balls at each other.

What a cute kid, I thought, leaning back in my seat, our mostly-empty plates on the table before me.

When I first held out my hand to Yue's son in the hallway, it was to make sure I wouldn't lose him. But when he took it, his small fingers wrapping around mine, my heart took a curious lurch.

Until then, I would have said I didn't care much for children, but when he raised his head and gave me a small smile, my heart literally melted and pooled around my feet in a hot mess.

I wasn't sure where I would take him as I usually never left the building for lunch, but before I left the office, I left a note on Nobuki's desk, informing him that I was taking Shota out to lunch.

The question was…where?

A quick search on my phone while we waited out front for a taxi showed me a cartoon-themed cafe just a few blocks away.

The driver didn't seem all that keen to take us such a short distance, but I didn't mind the sour look he gave me as I paid for the ride when Shota let out a sound of pleasure at the brightly colored façade of the Kiddy Park Cafe, not too far from Ginza Station.

The menu prices weren't too bad, considering where we were. When I asked Shota what he wanted, he gave me a quizzical glance.

"My mommy doesn't ask me what I like to eat," he said as I tried to decide between the hamburger steak or curry plate for him. "I just eat."

Something occurred to me. "Shota, is there something your mom doesn't let you eat? Like you have an allergy?"

If Shota had an allergic reaction while we were together, I was positive Yue Kinou would drag me to the roof and kick me off the ledge. And I would let her.

He shook his head. "I can eat anything. What's allergy?"

"Um…something you can't eat or else you'll get round like a puffer fish," I said and puffed my cheeks out, making him laugh. I handed our menus back to the waitress. "How about a hamburger steak and maybe a parfait?"

He gave me a wide grin. "Okay!"

Myself, I ordered a chicken cutlet plate, mentally apologizing to my mother for not eating the lunch she packed last night.

The food wasn't as bad as I thought, but it was clear that from Shota's darting gaze, he wasn't interested at all with anything on his plate. As he hastily shoved the rest of the hamburger steak in his mouth, he pointed to the huge play area that took up half the restaurant. "I'm finished with my food, may I go play now? Just for a little bit?"

"But…your parfait will be here soon," I stammered.
