It was pretty obvious to me that my mom, who wasn't exactly a pro at handling babies, jumped at the chance to go on a business trip with my dad, leaving little Sophie for me to look after.
I glanced at Sophie, snug in my arms, her bright, innocent eyes locked onto mine, totally clueless about everything else around her. Maybe... this wasn't so bad after all.
One day, I was chilling by the bay window with a book, when I noticed that Sophie had somehow climbed out of her cradle and was giving me the cutest, most intense stare.
“Are you hungry?” I asked.
Sophie tried to respond but only managed some adorable baby gibberish.
Putting my book down, I was about to mix up the formula the nanny had kindly prepped earlier, when I heard Sophie’s tiny voice squeak out, “Bwother!”
Those two syllables seemed like they took all the effort in the world for her to say.
I stopped in my tracks, a bit unsure, and asked, “Sophie, what did you just say?”
“Bwother!” she repeated, this time with more confidence, her little eyes all serious.
“Brother?”
“Bwother!” Her pronunciation was definitely getting there.
In that moment, something inside me just melted. With a grin, I gently pinched her chubby cheek and said, “Yes, brother.”
“Bwother…” Sophie still couldn’t nail the word “brother,” but I was over the moon. This was her first word!
My little princess had started talking.

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
Excellent novel!...
