*Cat*
I was in the great room with Emilia when Elio got home. I often sat in there with Emilia whenever she stayed up for hours at a time. This gave me a chance to turn on the TV and at least listen to what was going on in the background while she played with the blocks or her other toys.
She liked to try to babble at me and tell me what she was doing as if I could understand what she was talking about. It was adorable.
She was so busy these days, and I didn’t want to walk away or leave her in the playpen for very long, so we hung out in the great room together while I read or worked on something else. She often interrupted whatever I was doing, but I didn’t mind. I enjoyed having her with me and giving her my attention when she felt she needed it.
When Elio came through the door, there was an energy around him as though something had happened at work that didn’t leave when he walked through the door. I just wondered which office he was bringing home with him today.
