He was just thankful that his brothers didn’t mind coming over to look after their kids for the night. Because, who knows what was going to happen with Melissa and Austen that evening? The male really was going to try his hardest to do all he could to make things better between the two of them because he hated that they had become so distant. It was almost as bad as the time when she had left the boy all alone with Faith and he was just glad that she hadn’t done that again. He wouldn’t blame her though —- Melissa just hadn’t been ready to have a family yet. The two of them headed straight to his car, Austen already knew exactly the way that he was going to be driving to that night. “I’m not gunna tell you, it’s a surprise babe.” He smirked, he really did want to keep this a secret from her. The two of them had been to the park so long ago and the last time they had gone, things had gone down then. “Yeah, you’re dressed fine for where we’re going, don’t you worry.” He reassured her, he wasn’t going to mention the fact that he had actually personally asked for the park to be closed so it was just for the two of them that evening.

It had been so long since they had a moment to just…look at each other like that, so the female was really enjoying all of this. “And though I hate you for not telling me where we’re going, I’m glad you’re taking me somewhere. It’s been a while that we spent some time together without any interruption,” Melissa muttered, her hand actually reaching over to his just to be able to hold it for a couple of seconds while she was telling him this. If she wanted to stay with him, she honestly had to take every chance to save their relationship; and that was what Melissa was going to do.
