Tristan was so happy with his ice cream and enjoying the games at the park that my heart filled with emotion every time I saw him smile.
It had been hard for me to convince him to stop fearing Alexander. After insisting and persuading him so much, I ended up telling him that the man would buy him a new ice cream as a reward for the one he spilled, but I didn't imagine that Alexander would actually do it.
Both of them ordered vanilla, and Alexander helped Tristan eat it. It moved me to witness that, but I didn't want to show it.
Tristan ended up falling asleep in my arms after a long afternoon of playing, making and undoing things with his father. In the end, he liked Alexander more than I could have imagined. Alexander earned it with the effort he made, despite it being his first day
