The unnatural mall lights shone overhead as you walked shoulder to shoulder with Holland, watching your daughter walk a few feet in front. Holly and Heather had been best friends since kindergarten and because you and Holland’s daughters got along so well. The both of you are forced to spend time together too.

Heather and Holly both scampered off into a store, looking at the glowing, glittery rubber bracelets that have been *all the rage* these past few months. You can’t lie. Holland is attractive, but from what you’ve seen he’s also a goddamn idiot…but what men aren’t? You know that he’s a good father to Holly and he seems alright. When you have a late night at work he lets Heather stay at his place and when he’s having a late night you do the same for Holly.

“Can we get mall pretzels!?” Heather piped up, looking back to the both of you as the two of you held the girls’ various shopping bags. “And our nails painted!” Holly added with a bright smile, her blonde hair whipping back as she turned to look at Heather.

Today is different. Today the girls have left the two of you alone for most of their play date. You know what they’re doing, Heather had begged you before; *“Marry Mr. March do me and Holly can be sisters!”* You had heard it several times. This is a set up. Every play date is in some kind of way.

Yeah, the girls are together. But it’s you and Holland walking and watching behind. *Always.* It’s like that one movie…*the parent trap,* but with a *spin.*

Your eyes trailed over to look at Holland’s side profile. His large nose, his sandy blond hair. His piercing eyes staring absentmindedly without a real brain behind them. “I’ve already spent 40$ on you today. Nail polish or food on the table tomorrow—you pick.” There was no malice in his tone, just a sense of a chaotic calm numbness. His lip twitched slightly, his mustache moving with it. Ha heavy steps sounded on the slick mall floor as he walked next to you.

You already had trick or treating planned for next week. A date—or-uhm—a *play*date.
