Chapter 17"And we had popcorn and we watched Arthur and we played Clue Jr. and she helped me with my hair and painted with me and played house with me. And it was fun!"
"Wow," Vincent exclaimed surprised. He really wasn't faking it. He hardly had ever seem Adriane this excited in his whole life, "You really like her?"
"Uh-huh."
"She really is great Vincent. A true life saver if you will. I had a case and low and behold she was there to the rescue," Donna said from the kitchen.
"Are you going to marry her?" Adriane asked.
"What?" Vincent said partly chocking on his drink.
"Are you and her going to live happily ever after?"
"Why do you ask?" Vincent asked taking away a loose strand hair from the little girl's face.
"You like her and she likes you right?"
Donna came from the kitchen area and said, "She's right, isn't she? You like her?"
Vincent then looked at Adriane who had a look of curiosity about her question.
"In a way, yes. We are getting to be good friends.""
"So you like her," Adriane said.
"Adri-," Vincent began.
"It's alright. Secret safe with me," she said jumping out of her chair to turn on the TV where Sesame Street was showing.
"So," Donna asked taking a seat, "if you like her so much, are you in love with her?"
"I don't know."
"Are you still thinking about Carole?"
"Donna-," he warned.
"I know. I'm sorry that I even brought it up but it's true. Vincent, you're young. You need to embrace life with what it brings. Laura seems to be a great person and I don't think that you should pass on this opportunity."
Vincent kept silent.
"I'm going to finish making dinner. Keep Adriane company will you?"
Vincent nodded and Donna walked away.
Was she right? Vincent asked herself.
"C'mon, Uncle Vincey," Adriane said, "The Count is on!"
Vincent knew what he had to do.
