Erin looked completely relaxed as she smiled at Nolan as well. “We really do.” Erin’s smile turned into a smirk and she added, “Well, that is, when you’re  not too busy having fun with yourself in the shower.” She lifted an eyebrow at Blair, then ran down the hallway toward Nolan before Blair could think of a rebuttal.

Damn. Blair had no idea where Erin’s newfound confidence had come from, but it was sexy as hell, and she hoped it stayed around.

“Mommy! We need to play more games.” Nolan clawed at his mom’s legs while he whined.

“Yeah, Mommy!” Blair said, copying the tone of Nolan’s voice. “There’re so many games in here we haven’t even played yet. How are we going to get a bunch of pointless prizes if we don’t play them all?”

“Seriously?” Erin rolled her eyes at both Blair and Nolan. “I think we’ve spent enough time and money here already.”

“How about this?” Blair pulled the fifty dollar bill out of her pocket that she had been saving for this very moment. “The rest of the games are on me.”

“You are not seriously thinking about getting fifty dollars worth of tokens, are you? We’ll never  leave.”

Blair laughed at the fact that Erin was using the same tone of voice to speak to her as she used with Nolan. It was fitting because Blair was acting about as mature as Nolan right now, but she was having way too much fun to care. “That’s kind of the point.” She flashed Erin her most charming smile. “Come on. What else is there to do?”

Erin rolled her eyes again. “Fine. But only because we really don’t have any other choice.”

“Yes!” Blair held her hand out toward Nolan and he jumped in the air to give her a high five.

After getting more tokens, Nolan grabbed a handful and ran toward a racing game. “I’m going to win!” he said as he sat in a seat too tall for him to reach the pedal.

“I have an idea.” Blair picked him up and sat him on her lap. “How about you and I race your mommy? You can steer and I’ll push the pedal.”

Nolan threw a fist in the air. “Yeah! And we’ll win!”

Erin laughed as she sat down beside them and held out her hand for tokens. “I don’t doubt you will.”

Even though it was touch-and-go for a bit due to Nolan’s questionable steering skills, Blair and Nolan did end up beating Erin in the end.

Blair threw both hands in the air. “Yes! Sweet victory!”

“I want to play basketball next!” Nolan jumped off of Blair’s lap and ran toward the big electronic basketball hoops.
