Lucien smiled softly, “Not at all.”
“Cry if you're sad. I'll wipe your nose for you.”
Kaia shot him a glare.
He always ruined the moment.
She fell silent, lost in thought.
Maybe a year wasn’t enough. In five or ten years, she might be like Lucien, untouched by these emotions.
Lucien gently stroked her hair.

“Sure, I'll head back next week. I'm yours for the whole week.”
Luna was thrilled.
Here, there was no Kaia, no Lucien-only her and Alden.
