The doctors spent the night monitoring the baby, running tests to ensure Marcus’s princess was ready for the journey. Like was the first to leave the hospital, claiming lie was tired and needed rest. But we all knew he was avoiding being around the baby. It was almost comical, considering he still had to travel with her.

It made me wonder what he would do on the flight or once we returned to Olivia. Was he planning on avoiding her forever, or was this just temporary until she grew and looked less like a rat and more like a human? I wasn’t sure.

Last night, I took Marcus out for drinks, and somehow, we ended up at my place. In his drunken state, he helped me pack a few things, most of which I hadn’t planned on taking. I had my own intentions.

Leaving the clothes behind would be my excuse to spend some quality time with my son, to buy him things he actually wanted for the first time as his father. But I let Marcus do what he wanted. The man was about to send his daughter off to who knows where, with no idea when she or his wife would return. I could see the weight of it all pressing down on him.

I raised an eyebrow. He was the one who kept ordering drinks, even when we got back, he still wanted more.

“You don’t remember how you ended up like this?”

He shrugged.

“It doesn’t matter. You should’ve stopped me.”

I glanced at him, slightly amused. He was a grown man, and he wanted me to stop him from drowning his sorrows. Why would I do that? It was his last night drinking with me for a long while. I wanted him to enjoy it.
