Selena's eyes flickered slightly. It was Callum...
Just then, her phone buzzed. She walked over to check it. He'd sent a message: "If you're still up, there's something I want to talk about."
She tiptoed to her son's bedside, kissed his cheek softly, tucked him in, and wrapped her coat tighter around herself before stepping outside.
She opened the door to Brook's House, stepping aside to let him in. "How long have you been standing here? Why didn't you say something?" she whispered.
Had she not been restless and glanced out the window, he might've been left in the chilly wind all night.
Callum gave a gentle smile, "I was worried you were asleep. You've been so worn out lately, I didn't want to disturb you."
In the search for little Mateo, she'd hardly slept, and then Everett whisked her away for nearly a day and a night. Even though Callum had been anxious with so much to say, he couldn't bear to wake her.
Once inside, Selena flicked on the living room light, inviting him to make himself at home while she went to the kitchen to fetch a glass of warm water. "Here, drink this to warm up."
Callum smiled, accepting the glass and taking a sip, only to wince as the motion pulled at a cut on his lip.
