Ben was sitting on the carpet of a living room along with a blonde girl that seemed to be approximately seven years old and looked exactly like Sue. Both of them were coloring a page as the girl sang along to a cartoon that was broadcast on the television that was behind her.
Susan walked down the stairs that led to the living room, wearing an elegant red dress, and, with a smile on her face, watched Ben playing with the girl for a few seconds before saying:
“I’m ready, baby. Where’s the nanny?”
Ben looked at Sue, got up and answered:
“She’s at the kitchen, baby. Let’s go.”
The little girl stopped what she was doing, got up and jumped toward Ben. He caught her, held her high in the air and started spinning around as she laughed. After a few seconds, Ben stopped spinning, kissed the girl’s forehead, put her down on the floor and said:
“I love you, Claire. We’ll be back soon, okay?”
“I love you, daddy” – the girl seemed to be fine with her parents going out and leaving her with a nanny.
Now Ben was in a restaurant looking at Sue while ordering their dinner to a waiter that was standing by their table:
“We’ll have the Risotto al Gorgonzola and Amarone wine.”
“I can’t believe it’s been ages since I last ate my favorite dish” – Susan said with a happy expression on her face.
