(ARIELLE'S POV)
I felt my face heat up in embarrassment, and when I looked at Dwayne, he was already watching me, amusement dancing in his emerald eyes. His smile was slow, almost teasing, as if he enjoyed how flustered I'd become. "Um," I stammered, regaining a bit of composure. "Maverick, baby, can you go back to your room? I need to talk to Uncle Dwayne."
"Alright, Mama," he said and got off Dwayne's legs, before running off to the room.
I turned to Dwayne, still reeling from embarrassment. "Don't mind what he said, he's just being a child."
Dwayne's chuckle was low, his voice rich. "Oh, I don't mind. Not at all."
I breathed out in relief. "Thank you.
But then his expression changed, his gaze steady, almost too serious for the moment. "You knew this was bound to happen though, right?"
I frowned, confused. "What?"
"Maverick's question," he said, leaning forward slightly, his presence all-encompassing. "One day, he's going to ask more about his father. He's going to need answers, Arielle."
I sighed, nodding. "Yeah, I know, but I just didn't expect it to be this early. I mean, he's just three."
"Four soon," Dwayne corrected.
"I know, I know, but still he's still so young."
Dwayne nodded. "That's right, but children are smart these days."
