Later that day, it went as usual. Trucy came home, told you all about her time in the garden, much to your amusement. Sitting up at the table whilst you tried to cook something edible, she rested her chin on her palms, smiling bright and gazing into the distance.
"(F/N), do you think I will really get into school?!"
"Of course I do, but I've told you already we have to entertain the Principal first"
"...Do you really think he will like me?" Halting in your tracks, whipping around the table, her head was being cradled in your arms. Pressing a small kiss atop her skull, she giggled under your warmth.
"Of course he will, Love... You're smart, and funny..." Tapping your nose and winking, she grinned in anticipation. "...and you keep your Dad in line!" Sharing a chuckle, she returned the cuddle before getting down from the table.
"On the subject of Daddy, when is he coming home?"
Looking at your watch, you thought for a second.
"He told me he would be leaving the Club at about 6pm, the Principal is due at around half past 6, so he will be here in time!"
However, little did you know Phoenix had broken a very important promise, not only to you and Trucy, but to himself.
