“Why are you still not doing what I asked? The boss has been on edge, and you’re still delaying things. Do you want to be fired, is that it?” Steve’s voice was sharp with frustration.

“It’s not that, Steve, but we can’t rush these things. There are permits we need to get, and those things don’t happen overnight. You only told us about this on Tuesday, did you think everything would be wrapped up in just a couple of days?” My legal team was doing their best to manage, but I could tell they were feeling the pressure.

I had just arrived in London after finalizing the deal on the house.

“You don’t have to put so much pressure on them, Steve,” said, trying to ease the tension. “I just want things to be at least clear by the end of the month. I want to be there myself to check the locations. That should be enough time to get the permits, right?” I asked the legal team.

“We can’t be sure, sir. Their laws are different from ours, and we don’t know how long a process like this will take,” one of them replied, offering excuses I wasn’t interested in hearing.

“Then book a flight and go there,” I said, my tone firm. “Take whoever you need, take Steve if you want. Hire locals when you get there. Make it happen.”

I turned and headed to my office, the weight of my responsibilities pressing on me. I needed to join my family soon; I couldn’t afford to take too long. My kids were growing without me, and my wife… I shook my head, trying to push the thought aside.

I powered up my computer, ready to dive into work. Just as was about to start, my phone pinged. I reached for it on my desk and checked. My heart skipped a beat when I saw it was from Nick. I quickly opened the email on my laptop. Attached were two pictures of my wife feeding our daughter.

Another picture followed, showing Olivia with both kids. Samuel wore a smile on his face, gazing fondly at the baby. My heart warmed. The email read: “She named her Lilly. She said she was her little flower.”

Lilly. My baby finally had a name, a beautiful one.
