Chapter 123:

The next day, Stella was woken up by noise outside.

She rubbed her eyes and checked her phone. It was still early, and the sky was barely brightening. Outside her bedroom, the sounds of a cartoon mixed with the hurried pitter-patter of little feet.

“Adrian… what are you doing?” Stella asked, yawning and rubbing her eyes.

Adrian didn’t even look up as he dashed by. “Darling, you’re up!” he called, too focused on playing with his toys to stop.
