*****************************************************************************************<br/><br/>Peter arrived just in time at the elementary school to pick up his son Ben from the aftercare program and drive him a short distance to the soccer field.<br/><br/>"Hurry Buddy, Game starts in 5 min" he said, parking the car in the parking lot and rushing around to help his son change into his uniform, cleats and shin guards which were stuffed in a duffel bag in the back seat.  As the two rushed to the field, there appeared to be only two or three kids wearing different color jersey than the royal blue color of the Stallions.  Peter saw the coach talking to the referee and other head coach, and came back to announce that the other team didn't have enough players to field a team, and that they would win by forfeit.   Ben high-fived his best friend Erick and both of the kids came running up to Peter who happened to be shooting the breeze with some of the other parents.<br/><br/>"Dad, hey Dad...Can I go over to Erick's for Dinner and hang out a while?  His mom said it was cool if it's ok with you" Ben pleaded.  Peter scratched his head, figuring it would give him and Eva some alone time for dinner.  He looked over at Erick's Mom, who gave the thumbs up.<br/><br/>"Thank you Mrs. Anderson, we'll stop by say around 8:30 PM to pick Ben up?" Peter smiled and rubbed Ben's head. "Be on your best behavior, and call me if anything comes up" he said kissing the top of his head, waving goodbye and heading back to the parking lot.<br/><br/>Wondering if he should pick up some carryout for dinner, he sent Eva a text inquiring such.  But after not hearing back, he just decided to head home, they could figure out dinner plans later.<br/>
