Jamie was enjoying the zoo.
Although, it was also sort of nerve wracking, kind of like doing a job interview, except this was more like a being-part-of-the-family interview. Sort of. He was probably just worrying too much, that was all.
Jamie hadn’t really done this before, hanging out with a partner’s kid. He didn’t have much experience with kids, hadn’t been around any since he was a teenager himself and left his last group home. Time flew so fast.
Sofia was cute, which helped, and definitely seemed older than eight. Jamie would’ve thought she was at least ten if he hadn’t known. He really didn’t know what to talk about with her, but the animal exhibits helped with that, and gave them all something to focus on.
It was fine. Jamie thought it was going well, they were having a nice day
