Alex's voice was bright with excitement as he ran toward her, his little arms swinging as he hurried up the steps.

Surprised, she crouched slightly as he approached, steadying him when he threw his arms around her waist.

"Hey, what are you doing here so late?" she asked gently, smoothing his slightly tousled hair.

The driver, a middle-aged man in a crisp uniform, stepped out of the car and gave her a small nod.

Alex, still cheerful, chattered about his day as she guided him upstairs. He took a quick shower, changed into the soft pajamas she kept for him, and crawled under the blankets.

As she tucked him in, he reached out and held her hand. "Will you stay until I fall asleep?"

Her heart softened. "Of course."
