"Are you sure about this?" Amelie asked as she buttoned up Gabriel's shirt, her gaze filled with a familiar worry. "Carlos has asked you to wait for him. What if he gets upset that you went to Aurevalis without him?"
"I will see to it when Carlos comes here," Gabriel stated, a confident edge to his voice that dismissed the potential conflict.
Amelie picked up the pullover and handed it to him. "Wear it," she said and then picked up the long overcoat, preparing him for the journey.
Noah was lying on his belly, doing some focused tummy time, wiggling his tiny arms and legs while looking intently at the plushie in front of him. He moved his head to look at his parents, calling for Gabriel, "Pa!"
Gabriel was fixing the neck of the pullover and glanced at Noah. "Yes, boy?" Amelie smiled softly as she helped him wear the long coat.
"Noah is going to miss you," Amelie murmured, pressing a quick kiss to Gabriel's cheek.
