Fractured by N.O Darling

Chapter 0265

Theo’s POV

The kid’s faces light up when they see us. They’re all sitt around the dining table whilst Luke’s parents serve them a feast for breakfast. The twins jump from their seats and run at Josle like they’ve not seen her for years. Josle wraps them both in her arms and the tension In her face melts away. This is exactly what she needed after the conversation we had just had with her Aunt.

Sammy leaves the table next, joining the small huddle happening. It’s so odd to watch him. As a baby, he was more like me, but as he grew up he became such a good mix of me and Josie. The twins rush to Luke next and Sammy comes to me. I enjoy every second of his affection. I know we don’t have much longer before he decides he’s too grown up for cuddles like Harper, Atlas and Joel..

Josie goes around the table, kissing the two older boys on the head.

“Did you find her?” Atlas asks, a hint of hope in his tone.

“Not yet, but we are getting close,” Josie smiles, but it’s clear her smile holds a sadness.

“We thought we’d just call in to say good morning,” Luke says, going over to greet his parents.

“When are you all coming home?” Sammy asks.

“Soon, I hope. What have you been up to?” I ask, changing the subject and keeping them distracted whilst Luke and Josie update Luke’s parents.

Sammy and the twins talk excitedly, telling me about baking with grandma and swimming with their grandads. Apparently, they are visiting with their uncle today, which Atlas and Joel seem less than thrilled about.
