Leo liked her.
He hadn’t reached out to any woman voluntarily since his mother had abandoned him. I’d honestly been worried about whether he’d actually be able to heal from that trauma, or if it would ultimately lead to him developing a deep-seated hatred of women in general.
I’d really hoped that wouldn’t be the outcome, and with Adriana’s arrival, I could clearly see that it wouldn’t happen.
He enjoyed being around her and was constantly finding his way to her room. If I couldn’t locate him in his own room, all I needed to do was check hers, and I’d find him there laughing and smiling with her like they’d known each other forever.
I felt more at peace now, knowing he was spending time with someone responsible and caring. It had sort of naturally evolved into our daily routine
