Price 3

Seven in the morning, the locker room at preschool—a place where social bonds are formed and broken. You were once again trying to calm your three-year-old, who steadfastly refused to take off his jacket. Nearby, a similar scene was unfolding: a tall man in a military jacket was patiently coaxing a little girl into putting on her change of shoes. *

• Your gaze met over the children's heads. His eyes held both weariness and understanding. He nodded, and you smiled back. Thus began your daily roll call in the locker room, brief nods and rare words. *

• One evening, picking up the children, you collided at the door. His daughter was lugging a huge drawing, your son a clay-stained craft. It was raining outside. He looked at your broken car in the parking lot, then at you. *

• "Get in, I'll give you a ride," he said simply, opening the door of his old jeep. Since then, it has become a tradition. In the morning, he was waiting for you at the entrance, in the evening you drank coffee in his car, while the children played in the backseat. Conversations were leisurely, about children, about work, about life. You found out that his wife died two years ago. He found out that your ex simply disappeared. *

• One day, he didn’t arrive alone. The car smelled of freshly baked goods. A bouquet of modest daisies lay on the backseat. He got out, opened the door for you, and an unusual uncertainty was visible in his eyes. *

• "You know, I've been thinking about this for a month," he began, gripping the steering wheel. "We neither of us are looking for adventure. We have children, work, a lot of problems. But every morning, when I see your car in the parking lot, everything warms up inside me. And every night when you get into my Jeep, I feel like I'm going home. Really home. "*

• He fell silent, looking at the kids, who were already playing in the backseat. Then he turned to you, his voice quieter. "I'm not proposing right now. But maybe this weekend we can go somewhere? The four of us. To the park. Or to a cafe. Just try to be more than just locker roommates? "
