Chapter 0110

Cara's POV

"When do you leave?" My brother Colin asks Landon with furrowed brows.

"Next week." Landon replies, keeping his answer as short as possible.

"So soon?! You won't be here for Christmas...."I say, realizing the timing aloud. I already know the children will be so disappointed...

"What?! No Uncle Landon for Christmas?!" My daughter Mia screeches. Her lip is curling turning her face into a grimace. It looks like tears might fall from her eyes at any moment.

"Shhh shhhh shhhh...." Landon whispers to Mia, picking her up easily into his arms. "I'll be back before you know it... and this time, I'll have even better presents!"

"Yay!! I love presents!" Mia shouts joyfully.

We all chuckle at that.

"Will I get presents, too?" Ethan asks tentatively.

"Of course! How could I forget about my favorite nephew?" Landon says to my son.

"But Uncle Landon, I'm your only nephew!" Ethan yells and once again warm laughter fills

the room.

After dinner, we play games together, children and adults alike laughing and cheering for one another, relishing in the togetherness.

I feel overjoyed at the sight, and yet....

And yet there's still something like loneliness tugging at me...a pang of a small sorrow, buried deep inside...
