Astria POV
Three Years Later.
It all started with a laugh. It wasn't mine nor was it Caleb's own.
It was a guest.
Not just any guest.
A female Guest.
I was walking down the stairs that evening with my arms filled with folded clothes when I heard it echo across the living room.
A woman sat comfortable on our sofa almost like she owned the place. Her legs were crossed across elegantly and she was sipping from a wine glass.
Caleb sat beside her grinning happily and clapping his hands as she handed him another toy wrapped in blue paper.
I paused halfway and watched them from the staircase. She wasn't aware that I had seen her, neither was Caleb.
He was giggling happily with his hands tearing the wrapped gift. He pulled out a toy truck inside and squealed excitedly.
"You bought my favourite!" He shouted.
"Of course darling." She cooed with admiration in her eyes and landed a soft kiss on his forehead. "I always do."
Something snapped inside of me.
