Anne's Promise Kept Part 1
"I know you won't eat anything healthy unless it has either peanut butter or cinnamon in it," Anne said. "so, I will make your breakfast of choice, I... will... keep... my... promise..."
Stanley saw Anne asleep sitting on her bed, so he took her orange baseball cap off her head, swung her feet up to her bed's footboard, and pulled her comforter up to her neck.
Unknowing to Stanley, Henry was watching his every move from Anne's door.
"Good night, Tomboy Princess, sweet dreams." Stanley whispered to Anne.
"Ani-chan," Anne said to Stanley in her sleep. "ga ichibandearu."
Stanley quietly slipped out of Anne's bedroom to see Henry's proud face staring back at him.
"I saw that, Stanley." Henry laughed.
"What?" Stanley asked Henry.
"I saw you tucking Anne in," Henry said proudly. "you will make a terrific stay at home dad one day, I was wrong."
Stanley looked at Henry.
"Do you really think so, Henry?" Stanley asked curiously.
"I know so, Stanley," Henry said, putting his right hand on Stanley's left shoulder, "I know so."
The two oldest boys heard footsteps coming up the steps.
"Someone is coming!" Stanley shouted.
"Quick, Stanley," Henry shouted urgently. "duck out of sight!"
