*Elio*
“Welcome home.” Cat was smiling as always when I arrived home, Emilia tucked on her hip as they greeted me at the door.
It had been a crazy day from heading back and forth between some of the family’s properties and the warehouse. I stepped forward exhausted, dropping my bag to the floor as I crashed my head on her shoulder.
“Tough day?” I heard her ask, Emilia’s little hand coming up to grab onto my curls and pull but I didn’t mind as I gently settled my arms around her hips as she moved Emilia to a firmer hold around her chest.
“You could say that,” I said honestly, not wanting to get into it now.
“Poor baby,” Cat cooed playfully, kissing my cheek as she comforted me. “Dinner’s ready, so you might feel better after you eat something. You probably haven’t eaten since our lunch, have you?”
