Chapter 47 – Heaven is Daddys Scent (Anj‘s POV) 

“Why do you keep on growing?” I said to myself while fitting on shoes for Leyanne. We just bought a pair of shoes two months ago, and now they complained that their sneakers hurt their toes. 

I thought I wouldn‘t make it out of the Excellente Café after Steve slammed on my face that he recognized me. It was when Leyanne started telling me that Grandpa Steve asked many things about me, and my honest–to–goodness daughters gladly answered all his questions. The beautiful blue peacock handmade quilt and my favorite book gave me away, a clue that completed his suspicions about my children and me

“Promise me, girls,” I said, standing up after checking the fit of the shoes on Leyanne. “The next time somebody asks about Mommy, you‘re not telling him anything.” “Is it bad that we told Grandpa everything about you, Mommy?” asked Selene, her eyes following me as I searched for the salesperson. When I saw her, I raised my hand and gestured for her to come to us. “Three pairs, this size, please,” I said.

I sighed, brushing the thoughts for a while. “Aunt Anya and Uncle Dylan will come here, and we‘ll all have dinner in the restaurant.” “Who has a birthday?” Lyra Helene asked. I smiled, remembering that we only eat out when someone celebrates a birthday. “No one, but you just helped mommy got customers for the business, so... it‘s like a birthday for our business.” 

“Ah!” she smiled and started humming the happy birthday song happily. “Oh!” Her eyes sparkled as she saw Anya and Dylan walking our way. “Aunt Anya! Uncle Dylan! We‘re here!” She shouted, waving her arms excitedly. 

Anya waved back, smiling at them as they came closer to us.
