Trevor held her in his arms, gently rubbing her temple with his thumb as he gazed at her eyebrows and eyes that resembled his own. “She picked up, but you’re still not happy?”

Jordyn nodded, but she still pouted. “But Mom is so busy. She said she won’t have time for me until next month

“Then we’ll wait together until next month, okay?”

“Okay.”

Jordyn was getting sleepy. After chatting for a bit longer, she yawned, climbed down from his arms, and went back
