“Locke!”
Elissa dropped to her knees, arms outstretched as she gathered the child into a fierce embrace.
“Miss Holland!”
The two hugged tightly.
Locke buried his face against Elissa’s neck, his small body trembling with sobs. “Miss Holland, | missed you so

“Don’t cry, Locke.” Elissa’s vision blurred with unshed tears as she gently brushed the wetness from Locke’s
cheeks with her thumb. “I missed you too... more than you know.”
Ernest loomed in the background, a silent observer. The corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly as he

circumstance.

trying not to pressure her.
“Well... that works for me. Thank you,” she conceded with a small nod.
“My pleasure.”

Flynn Mansion’s imposing gates.
In the passenger seat, Elissa clutched her phone, absently scrolling through social media feeds to distract herself
from the awkward intimacy of being alone with him in the confined space.
Without warning, Elissa froze. Her fingers clenched around her phone, and tension radiated through her entire
frame.
“Elissa?” Ernest darted a concerned glance her way, his brow furrowing. “What's wrong?”
