Chapter 78

DONNIE’S POV

“Mama!” In the soft glow of the room, Mason’s exuberant entrance disrupted the quiet ambiance. His innocent cry pierced through the stillness, a testament to the boundless energy and curiosity that defined his young spirit. Reacting swiftly, I instinctively pulled the protective cover over both of us, creating a makeshift cocoon.

Mason’s presence brought a mix of comfort and joy, a reminder of the pure love that existed within our small family unit. Despite the challenges that surrounded us, his unfiltered enthusiasm and openness infused the room with a renewed sense of warmth. As he eagerly sought our attention, it became clear that he yearned for a moment of connection and unity.

In the cocoon of covers, I shared a glance with Mason, acknowledging the unspoken bond between us. His innocent eyes sparkled with a mixture of curiosity and excitement, capturing the essence of childhood wonder. It was a reminder that, amidst the complexities of life, the simplicity of familial love held a unique and cherished place.

“Mama, why are you hiding? I’ve not seen you all day.” Mason’s innocent query echoed in the room.

I peeked out from beneath the cover, a playful grin on my face. “Well, Mason, sometimes it’s fun to have a little hide–and–seek, even without leaving the bed.”

“He really can’t do without you.” Carlyle said.

Carlyle, having witnessed the amusing exchange, joined in with a chuckle. “Hide–and–seek in bed? That’s a new one, isn’t it?”

Mason, undeterred by the unconventional nature of our game, giggled and pointed at me. “Mama’s funny! She’s with Daddy too.”

I winked at him. “You bet, little man.

Carlyle grinned at Mason’s enthusiasm. “Looks like we’ve got a little comedian in the making. What do you think, Donnie?”

I laughed, nodding in agreement. “Absolutely. Carlyle, you’re bringing so much joy to this hide- and–seek adventure.”

Mason, reveling in the attention, exclaimed, “Can we play more games, Mama? With Daddy and Mama?”
