Bryce returned the smile with one of his own, unsure of what exactly he was going to say in response when his daughter took care of that for him. "Do you like ice cream? Because Daddy said that after lunch we can go get ice cream," she rambled, and the only thing that kept him from hiding his face in his hands was the fact that he was preoccupied with holding her.
"Sophie," he began, making sure to keep his tone even as he turned to look at her, their faces a little too close for him to focus properly. "Not everyone has the same plans that we do." He glanced back at the other man, and then added, "You are welcome to join us if you'd like though. I think I can remember where Fortescue's is."
