"Ah so you want to embarrass me now, huh? Well, get ready because I'm going to get back at you! Rawr!" she exclaimed, then playfully approached Venedict and tickled his waist.
"Hehehe,"
Venedict couldn't help but laugh, returning the tickles.
"Now you want to play rough, huh? Well, brace yourself for this! Rawr!" she teased, then tickled Venedict even more.
"M-m-mommy, stop! Haha," Venedict managed to say between his laughs.
Victor couldn't help but turn to them as their laughter echoed loudly. They were oblivious to the stares of other customers and just continued their playful antics.
Victor couldn't help but smile as he watched the two of them enjoying themselves.
He wished he could join in the fun, but he knew he still needed to make more effort. If ever he were accepted into their lives, he also hoped to experience what they were doing now...
That simple joy and laughter that was enough to soften his heart.
