“Wearing a ring?”
“No.”
“I’d think single dad, into the hot girl at the kid’s clothing store. Easy.”
“Okay,” Faydra continued, “Okay, then what would you think if suddenly a woman rushes in the store, says ‘there you are!’ practically grabs the two and runs out?”
The corner of Candace’s mouth pulled to the side in concern, “Wife? Or ex-wife or girlfriend?”
“That’s what I’m thinking. Okay, additional scenario. The same guy, you see him the next day at a taco stand.” Candace looked amused, realizing quickly this was definitely not a hypothetical. “He seems excited to run into you, asks you about work and tells you about his like you’ve been friends forever. Again, seeming to flirt.”
“Maybe the girl was his friend! Or sister? And he IS into you.”
“Just wait—it gets worse. While chatting at the food trucks, a woman—not the same woman, mind you—practically forces her way into your conversation. Pulls out the claws, asks you if you work at the damn taco truck and drags him away from you. Then what would you think?”
“Geez, two women—one of whom is a total bi*ch—no ring, and a child. I’d say this guy is way too complicated and I’d probably maintain my distance next time I ran into him,” Candace offered. “Or! If he seemed genuine, maybe he’s just being used by these women and he’s looking for an honest, real and hardworking woman like you and that’s why he ‘seemed interested’. Maybe he really is.”
Faydra seemed to consider that for a moment before replying. “Eh, I guess it doesn’t matter, it was just an interesting experience. I don’t usually fall for the dads that come in here like that. Very few of them don’t have rings and the ones that don’t obviously don’t for a reason. It was just nice to see someone who obviously was capable of love because of his daughter, seem genuinely interested in me. Oh well, I’m sure I won’t have to worry about it again. He bought enough clothes for the child to never have to come back again.”

“Loaded?”
“Beyond! He hardly blinked at the total, which was over a month’s worth of my rent.”
“Geez. Yeah, I’ve seen a few of those, but usually it’s the women. Nice to see a man doting on his daughter though, that’s kind of hot.”
“You’re telling me, sexy as hell.”
Faydra heard the doorbell and tossed her lunch to head out to the customer. But she let the fantasies of a handsome, successful man run through her head for the rest of the day. She was done fighting them off, and they were welcome to stay as long as they wanted.
