ever. No matter how long heā€™d lived in the states, it never seemed to let up. Mitch suspected it was a deliberate choice on his fatherā€™s part since women went nuts for the accent. While Mitch could do the same and sound completely genuine, heā€™d always preferred not to follow in his dadā€™s footsteps in any way.

ā€œNot bad, but Iā€™m on my way to work. Whatā€™s up?ā€ His dad wasnā€™t the talker his mom was, the opposite in fact.

His dad cleared his throat.

ā€œIā€™m going to be in town next week for a few days and was hoping I could spend some time with you. Maybe get dinner.ā€

ā€œYeah, sure, that sounds fine.ā€ Mitchā€™s brain was already jumping ahead. ā€œAre you free on Wednesday?ā€ Domi always had dinner with Ana, Anaā€™s dad, and stepmother on Wednesdays, and Mitch had off, so that would work out well.

Unlessā€¦ did he want to introduce Domi to his dad? No, not really. Theyā€™d have to meet eventually, but it would be better if he introduced her to his mom first. Otherwise, it might hurt his momā€™s feelings. Unlike Domiā€™s relationship with her parents, things were always a bit awkward between Mitch and his dad. He didnā€™t want her seeing that right after heā€™d charmed her parents.

ā€œWednesday is good. Iā€™ll see you then. Also, you should talk to your ma soon, she wants you to come home for Passover. Bye, Son.ā€ The phone clicked off, hanging up before Mitch could respond, so he wouldnā€™t have to answer any questions about how he knew what Mitchā€™s mom wanted.

It wasnā€™t a surprise his mom wanted him home for Passover. It was one of the bigger Jewish holidays, but the only reason his Catholic dad would be saying something was sheā€™d said something to his dad. Which meant they were talking again. Typical. Scowling, Mitch shook his head. Yeah, he wasnā€™t ready for his parents to meet Domi yet. Introducing her to that dysfunction could wait.

Chapter Nineteen

Domi

ā€œThis one, mommy,ā€ Ana said, tugging on the skirt of a dark purple dress Domi almost never wore. In fact, she was pretty sure the last time sheā€™d worn it was for a friendā€™s wedding before Ana was born.

ā€œThatā€™s a little fancy for Pasta Plus, sweetheart,ā€ Domi said, hesitating. When sheā€™d agreed to let Ana pick Domiā€™s outfit for her birthday dinner, she hadnā€™t expected her daughter to go straight to the back of her closet where her cocktail dresses were hanging. All three of them. Of course, Ana had picked the flashiest one with lace and tiny sparkling gemstones. Since they were going to the same restaurant Ana always chose when she had the choice, Domi didnā€™t know why her daughter suddenly wanted her to look so dressy.

ā€œYou said I could pick.ā€ A mulish expression Domi recognized settled onto Anaā€™s face. She was not going to be easily talked out of this.

ā€œYou did say that,ā€ Rae said from her spot on Domiā€™s bed, amusement in her voice. Domi shot her a dark look.

ā€œAre you going to pick out something similar for Aunt Rae?ā€ Domi asked in an innocent tone, even though Rae hadnā€™t offered to let Ana pick. If Ana said yes, it wasnā€™t like Rae would be able to tell her no. It was Anaā€™s birthday, which was why Domi already knew she was going to end up wearing the purple dress.

ā€œAunt Rae looks fancy all the time. You never do.ā€

Ouch. That hit her where it hurt. Going by the way Raeā€™s eyes widened, her lips forming an ā€˜oā€™ even if she didnā€™t make the noise, she felt the same way. The brutal honesty of children could be unintentionally vicious.

On the other hand, Ana wasnā€™t wrong. Rae didnā€™t dress extra fancy for work, but she did have to wear business or business casual, which included dresses. Since Domi worked from home, she tended to go from her pajama pants to her yoga pants. She tried to remember the last time sheā€™d dressed upā€”that wasnā€™t for Stronghold. Or her third date with Mitch since Ana hadnā€™t seen her then. Thankfully that dress was tucked away in a box at the top of her closet with her other super sexy clothes and fetwearā€”where her daughter couldnā€™t find it.

Damn. It had been a long time.

ā€œAlright, birthday girl, you win.ā€ Domi reached over Anaā€™s head to pick up the hanger. The little girl clapped her hands in excitement. Sheā€™d been clapping a lot lately, thrilled to no longer be hindered by the cast.

ā€œYay! Now you can look nice and get a boyfriend.ā€

ā€œExcuse me?ā€ Domi froze, blinking in shock at her daughter.

ā€œMama Julia says thatā€™s how you get one.ā€

Domiā€™s jaw dropped open. She had absolutely no idea what to say to that. From the bed, Rae cackled madly.

Mitch

Making small talk with his dad was always awkward, even when they hadnā€™t seen each other in a long time. It was funny because his dad ran a bar and actually excelled at conversation with the strangers who came through there, but with his own son or his ex-wifeā€¦

ā€œYou look good,ā€ Mitch said, giving him a hug, which his dad returned. Hugging was good, taking up time that didnā€™t feel like an awkward silence.

ā€œSo do ye, lad.ā€ His dad thumped his back before releasing him. Stepping back, his dad looked Mitch over, grinning. ā€œChip off the olā€™ block.ā€

Mitch snorted, but he couldnā€™t deny he could do worse than look like his old man. While he didnā€™t want to emulate his dad in other ways, his dad was what the women at Stronghold called a ā€˜silver fox.ā€™ Only an inch shorter than Mitch, he was still in extremely good shape, and his mostly grey hair made him look more distinguished than when it had been dark brown. His blue eyes twinkled with good cheer ninety percent of the time. The silver beard was new since the last time Mitch had seen him, but it looked good.

Wearing jeans and a blue button-down that matched his eyes, it was no
