Chapter 57 - Chapter 57 - Growing Attachments

Monica's POV

"Not today, honey. We're having lunch with Aunt Paula because she's leaving on a trip soon," I explained, watching his little face fall slightly.

The front door swung open, and Natalie and Jasper walked in, their laughter filling the apartment. Austin immediately abandoned his blocks and launched himself at Jasper, who scooped him up with practiced ease. We chatted for a few minutes before heading out to meet Paula.
