Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 19

Alex snickered inwardly, thinking his big bro was cold as ice! But considering his personality, it wasn’t too surprising.

“Mom, yesterday and today are different. I just miss you so much right now, I don’t wanna leave you, and mally want a kiss from you!”

Alex leaned his head onto Clara’s chest, nuzzling affectionately, showing how much he’d missed her these past few days. Being by his mom’s side felt so good….

“Alright, alright, here’s your kiss!” Clara kissed her son’s little face, and Alex enthusiastically returned the favor by cupping her face and giving her a kiss back. Watching her son walk into the kindergarten, Clara felt today’s Alex was particularly sweet, just like…he had just come back!
