a whiff of confidence
loud happy squealing and laughter of infants followed by funny gibberish talk as well as laughter of a male adult rang through the boutique. i poked my head out of the clothing racks for a peek and saw my husband waiting patiently for me on the sofa near the counter with his attention fully directed at the pram in front of him, containing the precious cargo of my two 5 month old twin nephews. he seemed to have so much fun that he doesn't care about the surrounding people who were watching him make a lot of funny faces and funny sounds to entertain the babies.
i watched his face intently from my hiding spot and i couldn't help but think "he will be so great with our kids." but then a big sign that wrote "nonrefundable" in bold red letters, seemed to have been delibrately placed there to catch my attention, reminding me of reality.
but right at that moment, he seemed to really glow. everything else blurred and didn't really matter. i'm not sure how long i stood there and beamed with a smile evidently frozen on my face, but i was startled when a voice interrupted my little day dream.
"isn't that sweet? can't help but really smile at that huh?"
a lady stood there practically right next to me. her eyes was clearly directed towards my husband and the twins.
"seeing that reminds me that not all man are jerks. unfortunately men like him are on the verge of extinction."
she smiled and proceeded towards the cash register.
i'm not so sure she knew that Wes is my husband until he approached me, but her words actually made me envy myself. for that brief moment, i had all the confidence in the world that with him as the father of my children, nothing could really go wrong.
