When I arrive in Lucian's room, Hailey is already packing his clothes. Most of it is upended on the bed, large pills of soft cushiony fabrics. He's jumping on the bed, more interrupting than helping.
I smile when he spies me by the door and comes jumping off the bed.
"Papi says we're heading to another house. Do you think it'll be fun?" He loops his arms around my neck when I sweep him into my arms.
He smells of baby lotion and his shampoo. Hailey is watching me, her eyes half on the clothes she's folding carefully into boxes.
I inject a suitable dose of enthusiasm into my voice. I press a long kiss to his forehead, and my arm coils him deeper into my chest.
He's warm, and his wet hair from a shower tickles my nose. My heart thuds faster. "it's going to be a lot of fun. You'll love it
