A hush fell over the scene for a brief moment.
Lindsey was surprised. It was hard to believe that a child as young as Elaine could be so captivated by a handsome man.
She was surprised that Elaine had welcomed Domenic so readily. It was quite a contrast to the time when Elaine had bitten her hard during their first meeting.
Frustration welled up in Lindsey as she crossed her arms and reluctantly remarked, Elaine, you trust strangers too easily. You need to be careful and stay safe from any troublemakers.
But Elaine looked at Lindsey innocently and remarked, But Aunt Lindsey, he seems much more dependable than you. He feels like a big brother to me.
A pause settled between them.
Out of the blue, a realization struck Lindsey, and she cast an irritated glance at Elaine. Hold on a second. You called me as Aunt Lindsey but he felt like a big brother to you?
Elaine responded, Yes, my mom said you are Aunt Lindsey.
Then why does he feel like an elder brother to you? Lindsey directed her finger towards Domenic.
Elaine blinked and replied, Well its just the bond, you know.
Then, Elaine hurried over to Domenic and affectionately hugged his legs.
Lindsey found herself at a loss for words.

Today was an unprecedented moment when Lindsey found herself utterly speechless.

Suddenly, she realized she shouldnt take a little girls words too seriously.
In any event, Domenic was no one who lost out, not Lindsey.
With this in mind, Lindsey narrowed her eyes and flashed a mischievous smile at Domenic. Since you are like a big brother to Elaine, maybe you should address me as
Before Lindsey could utter the words Aunt Lindsey, Domenic grinned and leaned in, whispering, I didnt anticipate you are a fan of role-play. What would you like me to call you? Ill play the role once were back home.
A rosy hue instantly painted Lindseys face as she glared at Domenic.
With a grin, Domenic held Elaines hand with one of his and Lindseys with the other, leading them toward the amusement park.
Lindsey glanced at Domenic, finding his unusually soft behavior today made her heart flutter more than usual.
They reached the Spinning Barrels amusement ride. Lindsey stopped, thinking it was more appropriate for kids. She turned to Elaine with enthusiasm and said, Elaine, this one looks like fun! Lets try it out!
Boring.
Elaine dismissed her suggestion bluntly, pointing towards the sky, and said, I want to go on that one.
