My eyes were filled with unshed tears that would remain unshed, especially before Mark. 

Being vulnerable had become a normal around Mark, but everything had a limit. 

There was a comfortable long stretch of silence after I finished speaking. Mark reached out and gave my hand a comforting squeeze. I appreciated it. I always appreciated his presence in my life. 

“So, what do you hope for when you see him?”

I smiled. My throat didn’t feel clogged again, I didn’t feel the pool of tears in my importantly, the trembling in my voice had stopped, “Naturally, I hope we can reconcile. If so, I will come back with Lucas, we’d spend some time here, packing up and tying loose ends then we’d take Aiden and go settle down in Italy.” 

This time,I actually saw a glint of hurt flash in Mark’s eyes. “Ouch, Sydney. Ouch.” 

“What?” I laughed and shrugged. 

“I must be honest. If you two reconcile, it would really hurt me.” 

I can see that, I wanted to say but I didn’t. 

“Your reconciliation with him simply means that after I’ve bonded with Aiden, you’re going to cruelly take him away from me and completely cut off our chance of reconciling. Even now, I already feel attached to the little champ.”

“Mark!” I exclaimed then I leaned forward and covered his mouth. “Shut up, you jinx!” 

Mark’s shoulders shook as he laughed, unable to hold back his laughter. He raised his hands in the air in surrender after he had sobered up. “Okay, I will wish you a happy reunion,” he said but I saw him cross his middle finger and index finger on his lap.

SIX MONTHS LATER 

I hugged Aiden to my chest and placed a kiss on his forehead for the umpteenth time. Strings pulled at my heart when he made his nabay noises again. I made to pull him into another hug when Grace’s hand reached for him. 

Grace gently took him from me. “We would really appreciate it if you don’t suffocate the poor boy with your excessive hugs and kisses.” She placed him in his cot and turned to me with a soft smile. 

She gently hit me. on my forearm, before pulling me into a hug. “You will be fine,” she whispered, “And you already know that Aiden is in good hands so relax.”

Just then, my name was called through the airport’s loudspeaker, urging me to board the plane in three

With all the willpower I could summon, I reluctantly looked away from him. 

Grace, with red eyes, hugged me again. “You had better come back safely, and remember to keep in touch with me every day.” 

“Yes ma’am.” 

“Good,” she chipped up her chin and I shook my head as I smiled and moved over to Mark.
