Chapter 272

• Lucas was lounging on the couch with Alec asleep on his chest. His head was propped up by his fist and he raised his chin a little when she entered. A ghost of a smile touched his lips when he saw her. She swore she was about to melt from the sight. This was her little family—her beautiful family.
• “We missed you.” He said when Anna closed the door behind her. She felt her heart skip a beat in her chest at his words. She sat next to him and ran her fingers through his messy hair. “I shouldn’t have sent you away, we thought about you the whole time. I just thought Alec might have needed some alone time with me but I think we both prefer when you’re around.”
• “Oh yeah?” Anna smiled as her world started to shift back into place. Her worries started to melt and all her horrible thoughts sounded silly in this moment. Lucas moved slightly to lay his head on her lap. “I missed both of you too. I always miss you when you’re away from me.”
