"YEAH!" exclaimed Benito. "They're awesome, and mom is the princess so we get to save her from the castle later!"
Mia cracked a smile. "You certainly do," she agreed.
It was Gino's turn to pipe up again. "Are you coming trick-or-treating with us, Dad?" he demanded. "Mom says grown ups don't have to wear costumes if they're not getting candy."
Mia's smile weakened, but stayed on as she shrugged her shoulders over at him, giving her silent approval if he wanted to brave the night with her.
