My CEO 351

351 Getting to Know Viktor (Winona)

The moment we step into the backyard, I feel a shift. It's not a yard. It's like a private wooded area with beautiful clearings. The air smells fresher here, I swear

I grab Henry from his pram and carry him the rest of the way.

The other kids are already ahead of us, their laughter carrying through the overgrown garden. I follow behind, taking it all in. I just love it.

"How much land is in the backyard?" It seems to go on forever.

"Ten hectares I believe."

"It's as much a backyard as this house is a cottage."

Viktor smiles at me. "That's Gus."

Out in the open clearing, the first thing I notice is the tree. It's massive, towering over the garden, with thick branches stretching wide. Hanging from one of those branches are not one, but two wooden swings, swaying gently in the breeze. Both are weathered.

"Look, Mommy! Swings!" Sarah calls out, her face lighting up as she rushes toward them, Abby right behind her.

"Wait for Viktor to check them first," I call out, my mom mode kicking in.

Viktor's already ahead, walking over to inspect the swings. He gives the ropes a good tug, testing their strength, then sits down himself on one of them.

He swings back and forth a couple of times, grinning. These are way too dangerous for you kids."

He grins and swings higher.

"But you are bigger than us." Sarah points out.

"I don't think that's true, Sarah. No, sorry. I have to test them a bit longer."

Viktor pushes off with his feet, really going for it, soaring higher than I expected, the girls watching him. with wide eyes.

"Our turn!" Sarah squeals as she gives a huge belly laugh.

Viktor laughs, leaning back, legs outstretched as he picks up speed.
