Audible footsteps darted across the living room as I was intently flipping through some magazines. The distracting sound was enough to pull me out of my concentration and lift my gaze in time to see Elisa enter the door with her face bright with a smile, I noted that tears gathered at the corners of her eyes too.
Alexander volunteered to watch over Faith for a moment. He told me to sit down and relax for a short while which I was doing now. He then darted towards the garden with my daughter inside the stroller to take a subtle breath of fresh air.
My face lighted up at the sight of Elisa. The magazine no longer seizes my interest and I place it atop the stack of other magazines I'd been flipping through a few moments ago, and impatiently waited for her to reach my side.
