As they arrived at the park, Micah ran towards the playground, eager to join the few kids that were already on the playground already. Benjamin smiled and chuckled a bit. It was good to see Micah happy again. This was one place Micah always enjoyed and whenever the boy was feeling down or angry, Benjamin would take him here so he could play his worries away. His divorce had been hard on the kid. He was a bit nervous dealing with girls now, but he still talked to them.
Benjamin took a seat on the bench near the playground, pulling out his phone so he could take some video of Micah. He wanted Micah to always remember back on his childhood. Not about the divorce, but about the good things that happened to him. Filming Micah running around and having fun with the other children a bit, he stopped recording and decided he would show Micah after he decided he was done at the park.
Looking around, he could see some mothers arriving with their children, however, he paid no particular attention to any of them. He wasn't ready for another serious relationship at the moment. However, that didn't stop him from flirting with girls he thought was attractive. However, right now, he just had to make sure that Micah would cheer up. He hated seeing his own son so down. As he watched, a little girl ran up to the playset, having a hard time getting up on it. Micah went over and helped her up. Micah took the little girl's hand and started to play with her instantly. That was odd behavior for Micah. Normally, he was a bit nervous around girls. However, with this particular little girl, he wasn't. Micah brought the little girl over to meet him.
"Dad, this is Elizabeth. I helped her get on the playground and I told her about how cool you are so she wanted to meet you"
Benjamin smiled at the little girl.
"I'm Ben. Nice to meet you...Where's your mother?"
Micah spoke up again.
"Elizabeth said she wanted me to meet her mom. Can I go?"
Ben nodded.
"Sure. Go, just be safe, ok?"
Micah nodded and told Elizabeth his dad's answer. Micah followed Elizabeth.
