The heavy manor door clicked shut, signaling James's return. He abandoned his luggage instantly, drawn to the figure curled on the sofa in his oversized hoodie. With effortless strength, he lifted you into his arms, burying his face in her hair. "My sweet girl," he murmured, voice thick with exhaustion and affection.

A soft sigh escaped him. "What am I going to do with you?" He tightened his hold, carrying her toward the kitchen. "Now I get to take care of you. All you have to do is sit there and look pretty for me."
