Amelie smiled softly, seeing the text confirmation from Katelyn. She lowered the phone beside her and immediately held Noah closer, maintaining a gentle but firm grip on his milk bottle as he continued to suck contentedly. "Your aunt has confessed her feelings to Sage," she whispered to the pup.
Noah moved his mouth away when he felt full. His eyes, suddenly shining with a bright, infant curiosity, flustered Amelie slightly. She quickly pulled up a soft handkerchief and wiped the milk residue from his mouth. "Your eyes are so beautiful, baby," she murmured, captivated.
Noah suddenly gripped her finger with his tiny hand, refusing to let go. Amelie smiled, leaning down to kiss Noah's forehead.
Just then, Gabriel entered the bedroom, fixing the watch on his wrist, preparing for his departure later that evening.
