Elias finished wiping the last glass, and put it back on the shelf with a sigh. He had just finished cleaning up after the lunch rush, and the shop was already starting to get busy again…
Which was a good thing, of course. He needed as many customers as possible to make sure that his shop could stay afloat. It took all that he had just to open it, and he didn't even have any backup plan or anything, so if the business failed, he would be in trouble.
He was very happy that the shop was doing well.
It was just that he was a bit tired, that's all. He hadn't been able to rest properly after that… night. Not only had he been busy with work, but all that had happened was constantly on his mind… The kiss and Axel's touch…
But even more so, the way that Axel had called his name - his real name - and what he had said in the morning, when asked about 'Elias'.
He hadn't known that Elias had been pregnant?
Elias had dropped the baby at the doorstep of his summer house?
