CHAPTER 71
SLOANE'S POV
After a long day of working, I was finally able to retire, and early at that.
Freya had offered to round up the remaining activities while I went home to spend the evening with Toby.
I promised to read him a bed time story. It was a relief that the promise wouldn't be broken, I really hated disappointing him.
I got back to my room shortly after dinner at the office. There was no time to eat at home.
After a cold shower, I slipped into my pyjamas and headed to his room. Thalia was already there when I arrived, and as usual, they were having a chat.
"Aunty," Toby called in a low voice. "When will mummy get here?"
I leaned forward and peeked at them. Thalia was lying on the bed, Toby cuddled up beside her.
"Soon." She replied. "Do you miss her?"
"A lot."
