Jaxon was standing outside in pajamas, his hair a messy bird’s nest.

‘I forgot to take the medicine.”

Mia glanced at the clock in the entryway. “It’s not even six o’clock yet.”

‘I was afraid you’d leave for work.” Jaxon had one eye half-closed, looking exhausted. “I can’t go out in public ooking like this. How can I survive without my meds?”

Mia turned to go inside and get the medicine for him.
