"Aunty Megan! Aunty Chan! Uncle Kisthian! Uncle Sean!" Drew cheers jumping up and down while clapping in her hands when we enter the house. She always pronounces Christian's name wrong.

"How are you still up young lady? It's nearly midnight." Chris says picking her up and throwing her up into the air just like Eldridge did. She seems to love and enjoy it, but once again my heart skips a beat in fear that he might drop her.

"Look aunty Chan is scared I might drop you." Chris whispers to her, loud enough for me to hear.

"It's not funny babe." I say walking into the kitchen.

"It's not funny babe." Drew mimics me and laughs.

"Shouldn't you be asleep by now?" I hear Chris asking as I open the fridge to get a bottle of water.

"Aunty Cordelia and I have a secret. Don't let her know I told you okay? Deal?"

"Deal." Chris answers.

"She gave me ice cream and chocolate cake because I was crying and and I was also missing aunty Chan alone."

"She gave you ice cream and chocolate cake huhh?" Chris asks. "Sounds like something she'd do."

"Are you mad?" Drew asks. This little girl is always scared that people are mad at her and she's always apologising for the smallest things.

"No, of course not honey. Why would I be?"

"I don't know. You wanna dance?" She ask excitedly.

"That would be a pleasure m'lady." Chris says and I hear the most adorable giggle from her right be for the music starts. I get up from where I was seated so I can see them.

I have known Christian for as long as I can remember and I've seem him happy more times than I can ever count, but this kind of happiness I'm looking at is... different. Special. Priceless. The joy in his eyes is pure. He's smiling from ear to ear.

"I'm not sure if I've ever seen him that happy." Megan's voice says softly. I didn't notice her walking into the kitchen.

"Me neither." I reply.

"I think he's ready. Maybe this is what he needs." She says.

"What do you mean."

"Nothing. I'm going to bed. Goodnight." She says and kisses me on my cheek before walking away.

The loud laughter coming from the stairs pulls me out of my confused thoughts.

"Jump. I'll catch you." Chris says to Drew who's standing on top of the fireplace.

"Why is she up there?!"

My poor heart can't handle this.

"But what if I fall?" Drew asks unsure.

"I won't let that happen. I'll catch you." Chris assures her.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm a hundred percent sure. Just trust me. I got you."

"I'm scared."

"You don't have to be. I won't ensure you something I'm not sure of. I'll catch you. I promise."

"Okay. Don't let me fall uncle Kishtian. I'm gonna jump now." Drew says and takes a deep breath before she jumps into Christian's arms with a little squeel.

"Yaay! You caught me!" Drew cheers.

"I told you I would."

"That was fun! Again, again, again!"
