The ringing of the alarm clock wakes me from my slumber, groaning, I lie back on my back from my previous position on my stomach. 

Opening my eyes, I let them adjust to my surroundings before I look at the clock and see that it's five o'clock in the morning.

When I close my eyes again, the first thing that comes to mind is Kyrie, and a smile forms on my face. And knowing that she'll be spending her time with me today makes it even better.

Sighing, I take my phone from the nightstand and unlock it to see a message from Sandro from last night. I was so exhausted from yesterday's shopping trip that I went straight to bed when I came upstairs last night.

But I'm not going to complain because yesterday was great. I don't even remember spending half the day shopping, but now that my little sister is here, it was worth it.

I can say that all of our brothers enjoyed it as much as I did. It was refreshing to just enjoy being carefree with your siblings without thinking about anything else.

Even Hades seemed to be in a better mood yesterday, which is very rare. However, I am still not happy about the incident that happened on her first night here. I can see he's trying to come to terms with the idea of having a sister, but I still hope he apologizes to her quickly.

With another sigh, I put my phone back on the nightstand before getting out of bed excitedly. Looking forward to today, I head to the bathroom to freshen up so I can carry on with my daily routine before meeting Sandro in his office.

I close my bedroom door behind me and make my way to Sandro's office. I have just showered after coming out of the gym.

As I walk down the hallway, I stare at the pictures Luca insisted on hanging up yesterday. In these pictures, he and Kyrie can be seen smiling, laughing and making funny faces while looking at the camera. 

Whereas, in the other pictures, you can see us all looking at the camera, barely smiling, in contrast to theirs.

I feel jealous looking at these pictures. We need to replace these brooding pictures of ours with some happy ones, with her of course.

And I plan to change that today.

I knock on Sandro's office door, once I reach downstairs. When I hear a 'come in', I enter his office with my laptop in hand.

"Good morning," I greet them both, to which they greet me back as they continue with their work. Wordlessly, I sit down on one of the chairs in front of Sandro.

Thinking that it must be regarding the shipment tracking, I start to set up my laptop.

From my peripheral view, I can see Sandro closing the file in front of him. I avert my eyes from the laptop and wait for him to speak. He leans back in his chair, interlacing his fingers as he rests his forearms on the armrests of his chair.
