~ Quill mansion ~
Tessa sighed as she looked at Adeline's bedroom. It was so weird to not have her around after so long. They were close to finishing a year with her becoming Adeline's guardian and for the first time when she went to Adeline's room in the early morning it was empty.
"I can hear you sighing all the way from my office. What is the matter, my love?" He kissed her temple softly.
She shook her head as she stared longingly at the bed which was empty of her niece. "It feels weird not to come up now and not have her around."
Korr smiled. "It's just for a few days. It can only stretch up to a week or two but after that they would come back home. Hopefully, better."
"Hopefully," she nodded and felt another kiss on her temple.
Tessa and Korr in a matter of three months had grown much closer than they were ever before.
