“Thank you for doing this, Enzo.” I said, watching as Ashton slept on the couch.

It was already past his bedtime, and by the time we were almost done, it was Enzo and I working on it as our little one figured that it would be best for him to ‘rest.”

“I should be the one thanking you. For including me in this, I mean.” He said, and I smiled.

“How do you know that something is bothering me?“He shot back, and I scoffed.

“Enzo, one person in this world knows you more than anyone…”

“You don’t know me, Alaria.” He said, and I raised an eyebrow at him. “The man that
