Marcus has my girlfriend wrapped around his little finger, and he knows it.
We are leaving one night for dinner or something after they are put to bed. Marcus hears us.
He appears in full-body pajamas trying to look timid behind the hallway door. Earlier that night, he had streaked through the house laughing after he escaped from the nightly bath. Timid is not a true show of expression for Marcus. I am not fooled.
The Girlfriend is.
"Where are you guys going?"
I'm a hard-ass when it comes to this stuff: "We are going to dinner, go back to bed."
Girlfriend is less so. She gives him a hug. Then tucks him back in.
Another time we were leaving to go back out of state. Apparently Marcus didn't get this memo till we were almost in the car.
We see the door open and Marcus does a full headlong run right towards Lauren. She picks him up.
"If you leave, I'll be sad." He says this while holding her face and looking really distraught.
We did manage to leave, but it was a close call.
