Luna’s question caught me completely off guard. “Handsome Uncle?” I asked, completely bewildered.

“Yeah, that uncle we met at the airport,” she replied.

I could see the bright smile and excitement on Luna’s face, and my heart ached inside my chest.

and cupped his face in my hands.

Take good care of yourself and Luna. I’ll be back soon, okay?”
