Emily wore an expression of discomfort and disinterest, Zeke on the other hand was beaming with a barely contained excitement. Apparently there were only so many days in the week that she could ignore him at lunch times, and this one wasn't one of them. "Go, look, play... you have twenty minutes," she advised as he relinquished her hand.
"... that's not long enough," he stated deliberately, so that she would know. Couldn't they stay longer than that? Or better yet, he could stay, and she could go. The icky stuff in the gobstones or jack stone or whatever wasn't going to kill him, so she didn't need to stand and watch. "... please?" he added, trying for a tiny push of his luck today.
Emily raised a brow at him, no. Just, no. "I have to go back to work, and you have to go back to day care." The day he started going to school couldn't come sooner. At least she'd finally decided on a school, and the extra curricular activities that would keep him busy during after hours.
Day care... that place. Ugh. Zeke nodded, he understood, there would be no pushing Emily today. Deciding to make the most of it, he pulled his shiny new gobstones set from his bag before leaving it in Emily's care and darting off to one of the rings.
...
.....
She was relegated to bag watcher. Brilliant. With a small sigh, Emily slung it over her shoulder and peered around the park for a place to sit and observe him. It was only then that she realised they weren't alone. How very unperceptive of her. Tsk tsk tsk. Furthermore, she recognised their company.
"Vic?" she questioned, approaching the blonde. "You alright?"
She wasn't the most sociable person, but she could tell when things were... not right... and something was definitely not right. Emily took a seat by her friend, her hazel eyes shifting to Zeke briefly before returning to Vic.
