It was the next day, Schools were over as Anne and Carriette were at home, Anne was making some French fries for Carriette as Anne was feeling tired because she didn't get to sit down and rest in a while.

Anne was frying the French fries as She was staring and was also thinking about Seth. She couldn't stop thinking about the fun and wonderful date they had yesterday. Winters suddenly had a huge smile on her face, She hasn't went on any dates after her divorce.

Anne was done frying as She put it on a plate as Anne took the plate and called Carriette.

Anne: Carriette! French fries is ready.

Anne didn't hear her voice as Winters called her again as She sighed.

( Is she in my room playing with makeup? )

Anne decided to go and check as She opened her room door but didn't see her.

Anne: What the? Where is she?

Winters thought she was in the bathroom. Anne knocked on the bathroom as She spoke.

Anne: Carriette! Are you in there?

She didn't hear anything as Anne was starting to get worried, Anne went to check the other rooms but couldn't find her.

Anne was in the living room thinking as She thinking about calling Lexi.

Before Anne could dial, Anne heard laugher as She turned but didn't see anyone.

Anne: Carriette?

She heard laughing from outside as Anne decided to go outside and check. Winters immediately opened the main door and looked around as the wind was blowing.

Anne: Carrie! Where are you?

Anne turned and saw Carriette laughing and playing with someone as Winters saw who it was.

Seth was smiling as He was holding Carriette, Anne was shocked as Carriette jumped on Seth's back as Seth was laughing as Anne was staring at both of them.

Seth noticed her as He stopped running and looked at Anne as He smiled.

Seth: Oh hey Anne.

Carriette: Hi mom!

Anne: You two are having fun without me? I didn't know you were here, Seth.

Seth: *Smiles* Well I was just walking past, Carriette saw me from the window and ran out of the house.

Carriette: I wanna play!

Seth laughed as Carriette went off of his back as Anne smiled then looked at Carriette.

Anne: Okay but next time don't go out lime that, Carrie.

Carriette: *Pouts* Why though?

Anne: Because I always told you not to go out, You scare-

Seth: Aww come on Anne. It's okay. She will listen, Right Carrie?

Carriette: I will!

Anne couldn't help but smile at them as Carriette was smiling and went behind Seth as Seth looked at Anne.

Seth: Hey, Sorry if we got you worried.

Anne: Its okay Seth, I'm just glad it's you.

Seth smiled at her as Anne was looking at him and Carriette until Seth looked at Carriette while smiling.

Seth: Hey Carriette, Wanna go and meet my friends?

Carriette: Friends? Okay!

Anne: *Smiles* Sure, You can take Carriette with you.

Seth: My house is just over there, I'll bring her back to you don't worry.

Anne: Its okay Seth, Have fun both of you!

Anne pinched Carriette's cheek as Seth laughed as Carriette also smiled and hugged Seth as Rollins laughed and carried Carriette as Anne couldn't help but smile.

Anne: Aww look at you too.

Carriette: Seth is my new best friend!

Seth: *Laughs* That's right! And your the princess.

Carriette: Yaaay!

Anne smiled and giggled as Seth smiled at Anne and walked away as Winters was blushing and smiling as She looked at the two.

She went back to her house as She was thinking about Seth. Anne Decided to eat some chocolates since Carriette wasn't there as she smiled.

Seth was holding Carriette as They were talking and laughing. They walked for sometime before Seth went to the house as He opened the door.

Carriette: Woah! What a house.

Seth: Thanks, Carrie.

Carriette: I also want to live in a house like this! I told Mom as well.

Seth looked at her as He smiled a little and rubbed her head.

Seth: Soon, She will. Don't worry.

Seth put Carriette down as She was looking around the house, Seth called Roman and Jon as They came walking as They saw Carriette.

Roman: Hi there.

Carriette: Hi!

Jon and Roman looked at eachother as They were smiling.

Jon: Wow, She's confident.

Seth: Just like her mother.

He had a huge smile on his face as Jon and Roman crouched down and smiled at Carriette.

Jon: Hey there, What's your name?

Carriette: Carriette, You can call me Carrie too.

Roman: Aww what a sweet name.

Roman patted her head as Seth smiled and laughed. Seth decided to let Carriette explore the house as Roman, Jon and Seth were talking to eachother.

Jon: She seems really nice and polite. Her mother definitely teached her good manners.

Roman: I agree honestly.

Seth: *Smiles* Right, I mean Anne was so beautiful in the date yesterday, I couldnt-

Seth realised he spoke too much as Roman and Jon were shocked as Seth stared.

Roman: Wait, You went on a date with her yesterday!?

Jon: Ohhhh Thats why you weren't answering my text yesterday, Hahaha.

Seth: *Facepalms* Why do I speak too much?

Roman and Jon started laughing together as Seth just stared and holded his head.

Roman: Well how was the date?

Seth: It went well actually, We had dinner together.

Jon: Aww that's nice.

Seth: *Smiles* Heh, Yeah that's true.

The two continued talking for sometime before Jon went to check on Carriette since she didn't come back till now, Seth also followed him as the two were looking around.

Seth: Carrie! Princess, Where are you?

They were looking around until they entered Seth's room and saw Carriette looking at the PlayStation 4 as Jon had a huge smile on his face and started laughing as Seth stared and smiled.

Seth: Really Carrie?

Carriette was staring as She was standing and looking at them as Jon looked at her.

Jon: Do you know how to play a PS4?

Carriette: I do! I played it in one of my friend's house! But Mom doesn't buy for me.

Seth: She will buy for you soon. . . Hey, How about we all play together?

Carriette was shocked as She started jumping in happiness as She ran and hugged Seth.

Carriette: Yes Please!!!

Jon: Hahahha Okay, Let me call Roman.

Seth: Of course, Carrie.

Jon went to call Roman as Carrie and Seth were talking and laughing together.

Soon, all of them were playing games in the PlayStation as they were laughing, cracking jokes and more.

Seth lost a game as Carriette was the winner as Seth started whining while the others laughed. He only did that just to make Carriette smile and laugh.

After a while, They all decided to play Hide and seek as Carriette was getting along with Seth even more while she was also getting along with Jon and Roman.

The four were having alot fun as Carriette was exploring the backyard while the three were also following her.

An hour has past as Anne was outside, It was Carriette's studying time as Anne went to look for them, Seth already told that their house was near. Only Anne needed to find them.

Anne continued walking until she heard Seth's voice as she saw a house.

Anne: There he is and wow. . . .

Anne was shocked by his house as She found it really good. Anne looked around and didn't want to enter just like that as She cleared her throat.

Anne: Um, Seth!

Seth turned and heard Anne's Voice, Carriette was in the other way as Roman and Jon looked at him as Seth went to check.

Seth: Anne?

Anne was standing as She was smiling, Seth was surprised to see as Anne looked at him.

Seth: Anne, That was unexpected.

Anne: Sorry Seth if it was sudden.

Seth: Its okay but I'm shocked that you found my house haha.

Anne: You did say it was nearby, But it did take time for me to find your house.

Seth: Hahaha! It's definitely alright. What's the matter?

Anne: Sorry Seth but I need to take Carriette back home, Its her time to study.

Seth: Oh really? What time is it?

Anne: You two have been out for two hours.

Seth: Dang! Two hours? I didn't even pay attention to the time.

Anne: Hahaha. Yeah but can you send Carriette here?

Suddenly Carriette came running as She had a huge smile.

Carriette: Mommy!

Anne: Hey Sweetie, Its time to go home.

Carriette: What?? Already???

Anne: You have to study now, Carrie. Come home.

Carriette: But I don't wanna study right now.

Anne: Sorry. But you have to come.

Seth: *Smiles* Come on, Anne. Just twenty minutes.

Anne: Seth, No. She can't stay longer.

Seth: Please? I promise you that Carriette will return home and study, Right?

Carriette: Yes! I want to play with you all.

Seth smiled at her as Anne was thinking before she sighed and nodded.

Anne: Fine, Just twenty minutes.

Carriette: Yay!

Seth: Wooh! Let's go!

Anne: Oh Seth, Your childish sometimes.

Seth was laughing as Carriette ran to the backyard again as Rollins fixed his hair.

Seth: Sometimes I'm like that.

Anne: Mmmm, You know, Carriette would never say "No" to studying. But every since you came. She just wants to play, Especially with you.

Seth chuckled as Anne lightly smacked his shoulder as Seth laughed.

Anne: *Smiles* Why are you laughing? You spoiled her.

Seth: *Chuckles* i mean, I also wanna spoil my wife.

Anne stared at him as Seth laughed as Anne punched his arm again as Both of them were laughing.

Anne: Alright, Have fun Seth. I'll pick up Carriette in twenty minutes okay?

Seth: I can drop her home myself, But how about you meet my friends first?

Anne stepped back as Seth turned and saw Jon standing while Carriette was behind Jon as Seth was shocked as Jon spoke.

Jon: Thats Me and Carriette's plan.

Carriette: Right.

Carriette giggled as Seth was drenched in water as He was still shocked before Anne started laughing as Jon also laughed while Carriette was smiling as Seth was complaining and also joked around.
