Desperate to find someone who would accept her and her child, Riley decided to hide her son from her date, Mitchell.
The night of the date arrived, and Riley sent her son, Roy, to spend the night at a friend’s house. She went on the date, trying to be herself and enjoy the evening. But when Roy got hurt and needed her to pick him up, Riley’s secret was revealed.
To her surprise, Mitchell was understanding and supportive. He even revealed that he had a daughter of his own and offered to go with Riley to pick up Roy. Together, they went to the friend’s house and found Roy safe and sound.
The evening ended on a positive note, with Mitchell suggesting that they bring the kids on their next date. Riley was touched by his kindness and understanding, and she felt hopeful about the future.
The story highlights the challenges of being a single parent and the difficulties of finding love again. But it also shows that sometimes, the right person can come along and accept you and your child for who you are. Riley’s decision to hide her son was motivated by fear and desperation, but it ultimately led her to someone who would love and accept her and her child unconditionally.
