He courteously opened the car door, waiting for Nadine and Sean to approach. "Get in. I'll take Sean to school." Unlike the obsessive and unwilling-to-let-go man from the night before, Brad was calm and composed-like a completely different person. It was as if he wasn't the least bit bothered by her rejection yesterday. If anything, he seemed more relaxed.
When he opened the door, his eyes were on Sean, not Nadine. His expression was impassive, almost as if he was saying, "I'm just here to drop the kid off, nothing more." He made no effort to speak to her, nor did he seem interested in exchanging pleasantries.
Sean stopped in his tracks and looked at Nadine, his voice soft as he asked, "Mommy, can I?" He might be young, but he was no fool. He knew his mom didn't like his dad. Even though he wanted to ride in his dad's car, he wanted to make sure it was alright with his mom.

Nadine was thinking about how to politely turn him down when Brad walked over and scooped Sean up from the ground. His voice was firm as he said, "Stop hesitating. If we don't leave now, he's going to be late. Get in the car. I'll drive Sean to school and then drop you off." He settled Sean into the car and gave her sleeve a gentle tug. Nadine let out a soft sigh and ultimately decided to get in. She hadn't been late before and didn't want to start today.

Once they were in the car, the driver started the engine and drove straight to Sean's kindergarten. Nadine and Brad both got out to walk Sean to his classroom.
As soon as the treached the school gates, Sean's best friend, Keira, ran over while squealing. "Woah! Is this your mommy and daddy Sean? Holy smokes, daddy is so handsome, and mommy is so beautiful! I like them!" 83191
Faced with her son's adorable little friend who exuded kindness, Nadine chose not to correcthen Instead, she raised her hand and waved at the little girl. "Keira, you look lovely today! I really like your little pigtails. They're super cute!"
Keira beamed at the compliment and ran straight to Nadine, wrapping her arms around her leg "You're so m helton! The pretty, Mrs. Hamilton! The more look at you, the prettier you get! Can you cover to my place and play with me?"
The little girl was quite insistent, gazing intently into Nadine's eyes with an expression that practically m said, "If you don't say yes, I'll cry right Con't here right now!" Nadine had no choice but to agree to Keira's enthusiastic invitation. "Sure! Why don't you talk to your mommy and daddy about it, Keira? Once you've settled on a day, I'll cover to visit, okay?" Keira nodded vigorously and mumbled a few more things to Nadine before grabbing Sean's hand and running off to their classroom. As soon as the two children were out of sight, Nadine felt a wave of relief wash over her.
She was about to book a ride to the hospital when Brad stepped in her way.
