Chapter 32

I glance at Max. “Did you leave anything at the café?” I ask Max and he smiles cheekily.

“Brielle is here?” he asks hopefully.

I nod, and the moment I do, he is racing out the door. “Max!” I yell out when I hear my phone ring. Growling, I move toward it while opening the mindlink.

“Max is on his way down, watch him while I take a call,” I tell Damian.

Snatching the phone, I move to the window. Standing by the window, my gaze is fixed on Brielle and Max in the courtyard. He leads her out as she tries to keep up with him. He’s roped her into pushing him on the swing making me laugh. I watch her movements… graceful yet full of life. The sunlight catches in her lavender and pink hair, creating a halo effect that only adds to her ethereal presence.

Her laughter, light and melodic, blends with Max’s joyous shouts, creating a scene of pure happiness I rarely see on his face with Blair. I push the window open more so I can hear them better when I’m jolted from my reverie by the yelling of my mother’s voice, reminding me that I had answered her call but didn’t actually say anything.

I step away from the window, my gaze still on Brielle as she laughs and plays with Max. I shake my head, trying to clear the spell of her presence as I answer the phone.
