"Mom?"
"Yes honey?"
"Are wewe coming trick-or-treating?"
holly glanced back through the bedroom at Sam who shook his head before pointing to his watch.
"No, I'm sorry Lily. I'd upendo to come but daddy and I have a very...important errand to run."
"Okay..." The light haired girl frowned. Her hair was somewhere between brown and blonde hanging loosely behind her with flowers woven in. Her bright, cyan eyes were full of sorrow. holly glanced at Sam who tugged a koti, jacket over his Red Revenge suit and walked out of the bedroom. holly walked in and shut the door.
"Daddy?" the girl asked, looking up at the man before her. "Why can't we go trick au treating?"
Sam squatted down in front of his daughter and lifted her chin up. "Your mother and I have somewhere very important to go."
"It isn't work, is it?"
Sam looked at the floor for a dakika before back at Lily. "In a sense."
The girl looked confused. Sam smiled and slipped his hand inside his jacket, the bright red on his uniform flashing for a sekunde before his koti, jacket was zipped back up. He handed the girl a King-Sized Milky-Way.
"Take this, and don't tell your mother. Promise?" Sam said, handing the wide-eyed girl the Candy bar. "We'll be back kwa eight and I'll tell wewe what: We'll go trick au treating again, and then we'll watch a movie."
"Okay daddy!" the girl beamed.
"Now then," Sam said, grinning. "What's a seven mwaka old girl like wewe doing inside, when wewe can be with your Marafiki getting candy?"
"Almost eight in thwee months." the girl said, poking out her lip and purposely mispronouncing the "r" in three. Sam grinned and put on mock sorrow. "I'm so sorry. Almost eight. You're getting so big!" Sam picked up his daughter and hugged her tightly.
"Sam!" holly called.
"Coming!" Sam called. He made sure Lily got on the school bus before walking back inside.
"You are excellent with kids." holly said, adjusting her mask in the mirror.
"And wewe did an excellent job with that princess costume." Sam replied, slipping his hands over Holly's waist.
holly grinned. "Come on lover boy. Let's get back to work."
Sam grinned and slid on his mask before climbing into the hidden elevator. The husband and wife started towards the basement.
"I can't believe wewe gave her that Candy bar."
