For the next few weeks, she needs to be carried aroundnot that Tim complaining. Ell take any excuse to pick her up and hold her in my arms.

“Uh huh.”
“Good, I’m just going to throw some dinner together.”

“Yes” I reply casually. “Of course I’m cooking, I thought you would want a home–cooked meat?”
“Oh.” She smiles, impressed “do” Ha!
She’s half in love with me already.
I go into the kitchen and carefully take the pre–prepared beef stroganoff out of the fridge and put it into the oven. In the dial to 325 and hold may breath as the light goes on.

Seraphina’s eyes find mine across the room and I smile proudly, things are going wonderfully
An hour later, we sit around the dining table. “That was absolutely delicious” Seraphina smiles. “Thank you.”
