Delilah's POV

"What are we gonna do today?" Lucy asks. She's sitting on the windowsill, tapping her finger on the window.

"Noah wants to go see a movie. Do you wanna do that?"

"Can it be Frozen?"

"I already told you, it's not at the movies anymore."

"But I wanna see Olaf!"

"I'm sorry, Lucy, but he's not at the movies anymore."

"Why not?"

"Because."

"Cause why?"

"Because it's summer?" I say it more like a question. It's not even summer, it's fall, but hopefully she won't realize it.

"It's not summer, silly," she says, giggling.

I sigh, knowing I'm not going to get anywhere with this. I pick her up off the windowsill and and sit down beside her on the couch.

"What about go to the park?" I ask her.

She tilts her head and thinks for a second. "Okay!" she says excitedly. "Let's go to the park! Let's go to the park!" she says, jumping up and down.

After a few minutes of getting Lucy into a her jacket (she just had to zipper it herself), we're finally ready. It's kind of cold out, so I'm hoping she won't want to stay long.

"Can we ask Lukey to come?" Lucy asks.

"His name is Luke. And no, he's busy," I lie. She's asked about Luke every day since Thanksgiving.

She pouts and looks up at me. "No, it's Lukey. It sounds like Lucy."

I laugh at her, thinking back to the time I first hungout with Luke at the party. That girl kept calling him Lukey too.

"What did you say to Luke the other day?" I ask, still wondering how she made him laugh.

"When?"

"Thanksgiving."

"When was that?"

Lucy always forgets things, or at least she says she does. I don't believe her half the time.

"It was a few days ago," I tell her.

She shrugs, putting one hand in the air. "I dunno."

"Are you sure?"

"It might've been about a green bean, I don't really know. Was I eating a green bean when I said it?"

"No," I say, trying not to laugh.

"Oh..." she says, losing focus and looking around. As we walk, she holds tightly to my hand, swaying our arms back and forth.

When we're almost to the park, Lucy lets go of my hand and starts running down the sidewalk. I'm about to yell at her until I realize what, or who, she's running to.

"Lukey!" she shrieks, running towards Luke. He's standing at his front door with his hands in his pocketse. Lucy wraps her arms around him, or more so his legs, and hugs him tightly. He slowly puts his arm around her as best he can since she's so much smaller.

She looks up at him, still holding tightly to his legs. "Will you come to the park? Puh-leaseeeee," she says, saying the word in two long syllables.

Luke smiles and looks down at Lucy, then up at me. I don't say anything.

He nods.

"Yay! He said he'll come!" Lucy reaches up to grab Luke's hand, and she opens and closes her hand until Luke notices. He holds her small hand inside his and walks over to me.

"Sorry about that," I tell him quietly.

He shrugs and smiles.

We all walk down to the park, Lucy in between us, holding both of our hands.

Lucy runs over to the swing set, waiting for someone to help her up onto one. Luke surprisingly lifts her up on the swing and starts pushing her lightly.

It's cute to see this side of Luke.

"Do you have a younger sibling?" I ask Luke as he pushes Lucy.

He shakes his head no.

"Higher!" Lucy shrieks.

She continues to giggle as she swings back and forth. Luke smiles as Lucy shrieks every time she goes higher.

"Okay, I can stop now," Lucy says abruptly. She gets bored easily with things.

Luke quickly grabs the swing to stop her. She jumps off and stands between Luke and I.

"Can I go on the tire swing?" she asks.

"You don't have to ask."

"With Luke?"

I look over at Luke. He bites on his lip ring and slowly shrugs. He grabs Lucy's hand and walks over to the swing. He picks her up and puts her on, then sits across from her. His legs are too long, and he has to lean far back to keep them off the ground. Lucy laughs uncontrollably as they spin.

After about 30 minutes of going from the swings, to the slide, to the see-saw, Lucy gets bored. She wraps her arms around her and runs over to me.

"I'm frozen!" she pouts.

I know where this is going...

"It's not that cold," I tell her.

"I said, I'm frozen!" She pretends to shiver.

Luke grabs the beanie off his head and puts it on Lucy's head. It's probably bigger than her whole head. It slides down a little bit onto her forehead.

"I'm still frozen," she says, tugging at Luke's hat. "Let's go watch Frozen!"

"Lucy, please," I beg. "We watched it a few days ago."

"Anna needs me, though."

"Oh, really?"

"She wants to build a snowman."

"Fine. C'mon, let's go," I say.

"Let it go, let it go, I can hold it in the back no more," Lucy sings. She always sings the wrong lyrics, but no one has told her yet.

"Pick me up, please," she asks.

"I don't really want to," I tell her. I honestly hate carrying her.

She sticks out her bottom lip and looks up at me. Luke bends down and swiftly picks her up. She wraps her arms around his neck and leans her head on his shoulder.

"Lukey is nice. You're not," Lucy tells me.

I shrug. "Sorry."

It's weird seeing Luke being so nice. He cares so much for Lucy, I've never seen him be like this with anyone.

I want to know what Lucy told him so badly. It had to be something important, right?

"Wanna just walk slowly around the neighborhood for a little? She'll fall alseep. Would you mind?" I whisper to Luke.

He shakes his head, and we walk slowly. After a few minutes, Lucy's eyes shut until she falls asleep. She can fall asleep anywhere.

We get back to my house, Luke still carrying Lucy. He puts her in bed, and thankfully, she doesn't wake up.

"Thanks for coming," I say, when we're out of the room. "She really likes you."

He waves his hand as if to say no problem, and we awkwardly stand in the hallway. He puts his hands in his pockets and rocks back on his heels like he always does.

I break the silence with the first thing that comes to mind. "Do you want some skittles?"
