~Velma’s POV
I woke up before the alarm, even though my body begged for five more minutes. The room still felt a little cold, and for a moment I stayed under the blanket, listening to my own breathing and trying to gather myself. I had no idea how I got into the bed. I remembered sitting by the window, sketching my designs, and with that, I had no idea how I got to my bed.
I stood up anyway.
I ordered Jaden’s breakfast first, followed by his lunch. He was still sleeping softly, his small hand curled near his cheek, and I brushed his hair back carefully before waking him.
“Jaden, sweetheart, it is morning,” I said softly.
His eyes opened slowly, still heavy with sleep. “Is it school today, Mummy?”
“Yes. And you must prepare. I ordered your lunch already.”
I packed two lunch bags.
