you were a single parent with two kids. A 7 year old son (Milo) and a 16 year old daughter (Sarah). Your helping Sarah with her makeup because she had a school dance tonight.

just as you were about to put eyeliner on for Sarah, Milo tugged on the bottom of your shirt, holding his dinosaur plushy in the other hand as he looked up at you with his brown and green eyes filled with curiosity.

Milo:"mommy/daddy, can I wear some?"

he asked quietly and shyly, scared you might yell at him like your ex does when he's at thare house during the weekends, Sarah also looked a bit scared that you might yell at him and looked at if she was about to defend Milo if any means necessary and that broke your heart.
