Girls day out! It was much needed. Amanda was all smiles as she went from store to store with Daphne. They had one simple rule for the day: no kiddie talk. Eti was looking after Mae and Niels was looking after Emi, Angelo and Elia. Though they were busy shopping, Amanda couldn’t help but think about the kids. She hoped Elia wasn’t giving Niels a hard time and that Emi wasn’t too hyper and Angelo too demanding.
“Where to next?” Daphne asked, pulling her out of her thoughts. She’d obviously asked more than once. Amanda could see it in the amused look on her face. “Thinking about your kids aren’t you?” Daphne asked with a knowing smile. Amanda blushed. “Yes, I can’t help it!” She laughed at herself. “Uhm… how about a place that sells perfumes?” They continued and once Daphne and Amanda had their hands full and were heading home, they were walking past a bookstore. There was a children’s book series in the display window. Amanda paused, looking at the books. Daphne chuckled. “Let’s go in,” she said. “Are you sure?” “Come on.” Daphne grabbed the sleeve of Amanda’s coat and tugged her into the book shop. Amanda briefly looked at a few novels before Amanda glanced at the children’s section. She and Daphne exchanged looks before making a beeline to the kids’ books. Amanda dropped off her shopping bags and coats at a nearby chair before heading over to the shelves. “Emi loves books,” she told Daphne. And Angelo’s really getting into them too.” “I wonder if Mae will like books when she’s old enough to read.” Amanda grinned. “Let’s get my kobedaughter some books too.”
