Clara froze, unsure who could be at the door.
Riley glanced at her before quietly crossing from the bed, then opened the door just a little. After seeing who it was, she opened it wider.
"Hi Ethan," Riley whispered, stepping aside. "Come in."
Ethan slowly entered the room, hands in his pockets, but full of confidence.
Clara panicked a little. What is he doing here?
Before Ethan could say a word, Axiel quickly climbed out of bed, where he was seated beside Riley.
"Daddy!" He ran straight into Ethan's arms. "Good morning! I missed you!" He greeted his dad.
Ethan bent down and scooped him up, pressing a long kiss to his son's forehead. Then he put Axiel down and slowly straightened, his eyes finally rising to meet Riley.
"Hi Riley." He greeted, his expression calm, and Clara wondered if he had seen the news that morning.
