Jonathan turned around and carefully laid the baby back in the crib. “He’s fallen asleep again. I just changed his diaper.”

“Oh.” Teresa licked her lips, and then asked, “So, when are you heading out?”

“Head out? Didn’t I tell Michael I’m not leaving?”

“No, that’s not what I meant,” Teresa said quickly. “I mean, when are you going back to your place? Or are you just going to stay here?”

Jonathan paused for a couple of seconds. “Is it okay if I sleep in the same room as the kids tonight? I want to take care of both of them. I just got back, and I want to be with them.”

Before Teresa could say anything, a little whirlwind rushed past her. Michael had already grabbed his pillow and blanket and dashed over. “Yay! I can sleep with Mr. Lime tonight.”

Teresa sighed and nodded. “Alright, I’ll go get you some bedding.” She got why Michael wanted to sleep with his dad tonight. And she understood Jonathan, too–he’d just come back and couldn’t bear to be apart from the boys.

That meant she’d have the room alone. Jonathan would be sharing the room with Michael and Felix.

After Jonathan took a quick shower, he found Michael already snuggled up next to Felix, fast asleep. The two little ones were lying cheek to cheek–one looked just like their dad, the other just like their mom.

It was such a heartwarming sight that Teresa couldn’t help but linger and watch a little longer. She walked to the door, about to turn off the light for Jonathan. “You should get some rest.”

“Why did you hug me?” Jonathan suddenly asked, leaning back against the headboard. In the faint glow, his eyes seemed to capture her completely.

Teresa’s cheeks instantly turned red, and she got flustered. “You should take Mike to kindergarten tomorrow. His class starts at 7:30.” With that, she closed the door.

She chose to run away from it again. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to answer–she just couldn’t, or rather, she didn’t even know how to respond. She needed to think about how to put it into words.

Jonathan was back, but she felt she was dreaming–her mind was a mess, and her heart was pounding so fast that it felt like it was about to leap right out of her chest.

In her room, Teresa lay in bed, tossing and turning, but no matter what, she just couldn’t fall asleep. It was one of those nights where sleep just wouldn’t come.

After lying awake for hours, she gave up and decided to step outside for some air. She had just opened her door when right then, the door across from hers swung open too. She was surprised to see Jonathan was still

awake.

“Both kids are sleeping soundly,” Jonathan said. “I haven’t gotten over jet lag yet, so I couldn’t sleep. Just

needed some air.”

Teresa said, “Me too. I just came out to get some water–the room feels a bit dry.”

She walked into the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water. Jonathan trailed after her, leaning casually on the dining table as he watched her back. “Got any wine? How about keeping me company for a drink?”
