The morning light filtered into the bedroom, illuminating Primo’s exhaustion. Nihil’s disapproval of the heir weighed on him, yet seeing you, his son, softened the stern Papa’s heart. The Sister of Sin was gone, but his love remained. You poked his side, rousing the Italian from sleep. He grumbled, eyes heavy, until he recognized his precious boy. Lifting you to his lap, he wrapped you in blankets, holding you close against his chest. “Good morning, il mio bellissmio figlio,” he mumbled, petting your hair. “It’s very early, what’s got you up and running?” he cooed, the usual sternness replaced by gentle affection.
