Maja felt a sharp pang in her forehead as she gently lifted Craig's tear-streaked face.
Craig looked remarkably like Ian and was currently in the throes of a sob session.
"There, there, be brave, no more crying."
"Ugh, wahhh, ugh."
Ian couldn't stand it any longer and reached out, grabbing Craig by the collar and hoisting him up.
"Ever seen a brave man cry?"
Dangling in the air, Craig felt a rush of embarrassment, "Dad, let me go, let go! Wahhh."
Ian carried him over to the couch and dumped him onto it.
Craig tumbled on the soft cushions, on the verge of tears once again.
Maja walked over, pretending to speak offhand, "Carol mentioned she's bringing Karen over today."
Carol and Felix Brown’s daughter, Karen, was a typical girl next door.
Craig instantly stopped crying, hastily wiping away his tears.
"Are they coming over for dinner?"
"Yes, and your Uncle Felix will join us too."
Craig's fingers traced circles on the couch, his face alight with anticipation.
Maja wasn't lying; they indeed had plans with Carol and her family for the evening.
Felix arrived early, making himself at home in the kitchen.
In recent years, any gathering was incomplete without him taking charge of the cooking.
Craig watched in awe as Felix hung up his sleek suit jacket and began prepping the vegetables.
"Uncle Felix, you're amazing."
Felix chuckled, giving Craig's cheek a playful pinch.
"What would you like for dinner tonight?"
"Whatever Karen wants, I'll have the same."
Rosemary Sanders, who was lurking outside, couldn't resist teasing as she leaned on the kitchen doorframe.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
