Josephine's pov:
Once I arrive home I immediately walk to the kitchen. It's already 4:45pm which means food.
"Mommy!" Vienna screams and runs to me.
"Hi Love" I pick her up, wrapping my arms around her.
"How was work Love?" I look up to hero.
"It was good, my new client's story is so delicate and real" I say looking down, the story begins to replay in my head.
"Are you okay?" He asks
"Yes, we can talk soon" he smiles and nods.
"Are you helping your dad make dinner?" I look at Vienna.
"Yes I am, we are having lasagna" she says excitedly.
                  •                       •                        •
We sit down to eat, we talk about our day, Vienna tells us about her school day and that there's a new boy in her class, which she seems quite excited about. His name is West.
"Ava says West is her boyfriend, I want him to be my boyfriend too" she smiles, Hero raises his eye brows.
"Excuse me little miss, I don't think so. You won't be having a boyfriend till you're at least 35 years old" he says with a little humour lingering within his voice.
"No dad, I don't want to wait till 35, thats old" she quickly replies back.
"It's not love, but still you will wait till you're 35" he says to Vienna. She then looks at me.
"Tell him mommy! I don't want to wait till I'm 35" she says angrily.
"Well Vi maybe 25 years old" I say with a smile.
"Noo that's still too old!" She huffs out.
"It isn't old love, dad is 25 and I'm nearly 25" I reply quickly.
"Ughhhh still, what about 10" she asks hurriedly. Hero chokes on his drink.
"Definitely not Vienna" he says quickly. She rolls her eyes.
"Vienna, don't roll your eyes, if you keep doing that they will get stuck back there" I tell her, taking a bite of my food.
"Ok" she nods.
"Eat up now love" hero says. She nods again.
                  •                       •                        •
"Bedtime love" hero says to Vienna. I open my arms to hug her and she comes quickly. I wrap my arms around her.
"Goodnight love" I whisper to her, then kissing her forehead.
"Goodnight mommy, I love you" she smiles.
"I love you too" I smile back.
"Let's go Daddy, I want a story from when you and mommy where younger, like you promised me earlier when you picked me up from school" she squeals and grabs Hero's hand gently pulling him.
"Ok miss, go upstairs I will be up in a second" she nods and runs upstairs.
"Since when did we agree that you could tell our girl stories from when we was younger?" I raise my brows towards him.
"Hmm don't worry love, I will be only be telling the appropriate stories" he says with a grin covering his lips.
"I would hope so, she does not need to know all that happened between us" I say. He just smirks, kisses my lips quickly and goes upstairs.

"Work work work"

As soon as I click post, hero comes rushing down the stairs.
"Tea or Coffee?" Hero says after kissing my forehead.
"Tea please" I quickly say back.
He waits for the kettle to Boil then makes the tea for us both and comes and sits next to me, handing me my drink, I smile thanking him.
"Tell me what you wish love" he smiles sweetly.
"Firstly let me just say, as you know I had a new client with a story. Turns out the book and blurb was completely, literally finished. I asked to read the book after reading the blurb. She agreed and I read it, it took me a little while, I cried too. It hit home, and it made me feel so sad cause it reminded me of that time. It felt so real and personal, especially when the main female told the main male her story and what happened. Once I  finished up with my client, Lily, Em came back to my office and I spoke with Lily. Once Lily left, Emilia told me something.. it was that the story I had just read, was in fact Lily's Story. It happened to her, it was her life. For obvious reasons some small things was changed. I just couldn't stop thinking about what happened to Emilia. I won't lie, I had forgotten it even happened and i think Emilia started to forget a little too. When Emilia was telling me about what Lily said it just reminded me of how I found Emilia. I got a little upset" i feel the tears pooling in my eyes, hero notices and grabs the cup out of my hands, placing it on the coffee table in front of us.
"It's okay love, Emilia isn't hurt anymore. She's happy with mark, well the happiest we have ever seen. We've known her a long time Jo" he whispers as he strokes my hair while i lean onto his chest.
"You're right, i just forgot about it all and then reading the book and talking to Em, just casted me back to reliving the moment of finding her" i sniffle.
"Drink your tea love then we can go to bed and watch some greys anatomy or try something new" he says kissing my forehead.
"We are not trying something new, we have to finish greys first, there's a new season in October!" I say almost squealing.
"There's my happy girl" he says chuckling.
I stand up smiling. I finish my tea just as hero does.
"Can you grab me a bottle of water, I'm going upstairs now" i ask hero.
"Sure, ill be up in a minute, just gunna lock up" we nod and go the separate ways.
