Six years later...

Simon woke up at around seven in the morning. He looked over and saw that Victor was still sound asleep. He smiled softly as he climbed out of bed and got dressed. He put on a grey shirt, a blue jacket, and jeans.

He walked to the kitchen, where he saw his roommate, Ivy, was making breakfast. He met Ivy a few years back when he was on a website for people looking for roommates. She was one of the people who didn't mind living with a kid. They became really good friends and moved into an apartment in Manhattan together.

"Good morning," Ivy said. "Breakfast is almost ready."

"Thank you," Simon said, sitting at the counter. Ivy had made pancakes, and she placed them on a plate. Simon then set aside a plate of pancakes for Victor before eating.

"What do you want to do today?" Ivy asked.

"Since I don't have work today, I'm going to take Victor to the park," Simon stated. "Do you want to join us?"

"I have work in a few hours so I can't," Ivy said. Simon nods and finishes his pancakes. He then put his plate into the dishwasher. He then went to his bedroom to get Victor up for the day.

Simon and Victor arrived at the park. Simon held his son's hand as they arrived at the playground. "Ok, go play, I'll be sitting on this bench and watching you," Simon encouraged. Victor ran to join some kids who were playing on the jungle gym.

Simon then sat down. He noticed that there was a camera crew from the local news station was there. He watched Victor play for a few minutes as someone tapped his shoulder. He turned around and a dark-skinned man with dark brown and brown eyes. "Hey, I'm Bram Greenfeld from ABC News," Bram said. "I was wondering if I can get an interview. We're doing a segment on the urbanization of this park, and I'm supposed to get a few interviews from citizens."

"Sure, let me go tell my son first," Simon stated. Bram nods as Simon walks over to his son. "Hey, son, I'm going to step away for a few moments, but I will be right back. You should still be able to see me."

"Ok," Victor said. Simon then steps away to where the camera crew was. Bram was standing beside the cameraman.

"I never caught your name," Bram said.

"I'm Simon Spier," Simon said. Bram nods and wrote it down. The interview then began. It was simple questions about the new development at the park. Simon felt pretty mutual on the subject, but he was aware that it was pretty divisive.

Once the interview was over, Bram and Simon shook hands. "Thank you," Bram said.

"No problem," Simon said. The crew then went to interview the next person, and Simon returned to the playground.

Once they were finished at the park, Simon and Victor went to a local diner for lunch. They sit down and wait for a table to be ready. Saturday was one of the busiest days of the week.

Simon noticed that Bram had also entered the diner. "We seem to keep ruining into each other," Bram said.

"We seem to," Simon said

"Daddy, who is this?" Victor questioned.

"This is a journalist from ABC News," Simon explained. "I was interviewed by him earlier at the park."

Victor nods. It was then announced that Simon and Victor's table was ready. Simon noticed that the waiting area was pretty full, so he got an idea. "Do you want to have lunch with us?" Simon asked. "Seeing how it's going to be a while before another table opens up."

"Sure," Bram said. They were then lead to a booth and given menus. Victor seemed to be off in his own world, so Bram and Simon took this time to get to know each other. He found out that Bram lived in Atlanta until he was thirteen, but he went to a different school.

As the conversation continued, Bram mentioned the fact that he has had boyfriends in the past. Bram was openly gay and has been since he was eighteen. Simon realized he was attracted to guys when Victor was about one year old. He had only ever confided in Ivy with this fact.

Once they finished eating, Simon and Bram split the bill. They stepped out of the diner. "Can I have your number?" Bram asked. "I would love to hang out again."

"Sure," Simon said. They then put their numbers into each other's phones. They then said their goodbyes before leaving the lot.
