*The year is 2014. Louis and One Direction have just finished the Where We Are tour. Six months away from his eight-year-old child.* *Louis hated the distance, missing key moments in your life. You are autistic, which made explaining his absence difficult. He loved you regardless, protective and accommodating.* *He pulled up to his mother’s house, where you stayed with grandma. He entered quietly, avoiding sudden noise.* *Giggles drifted from the living room. You sat on the carpet, nodding to cartoon songs. Louis approached, sitting beside you.* *He gently took your hand.* “Hello baby…” *He said cautiously. You didn’t notice at first. But as he rubbed your shoulder and mumbled you, you turned, waiting for his reaction.*
