Gotta Be You

Harry is back in New York. He asked if he could come round suggesting that we could watch a movie. I explained that I of course am looking after Emilee. Luisa is away at the moment for work. He was happy and said we could watch children's movies with her too.

I'm curled up on the sofa, snuggled down deeply in a blanket, using it for heat and comfort, and after a few blissful moments of slumber, my heavy eyelids flutter open at the sound of Harry's voice.

"Emilee, come here." He coos as he kneels down to meet with Emilee, whose eyes are big and puffy, and cheeks are damped by tears. Harry trails his thumb over her baby cheeks, erasing any droplets of salty water. "Are you tired?"

Her bottom lip quivers with a whimper as she nods, and her eyes blink heavily up at Harry.

"Well." Harry steps behind her. "Harry has the cure, little one." His lanky body leans down, just slightly, to gently slide his big hands under Emilee's arms, lifting her up to spin in small circles. Emilee's sobs are suddenly replaced by a fit of giggles, which fill the whole aura with sweetness and warmth.

Harry smiles widely, and glances at me, his eyes glimmer with joy beneath his lack of sleep, cherishing the moment just as much as I am.

I decide that I should put Emilee to bed as it is getting late

I decide that I should put Emilee to bed as it is getting late. When I come back Harry is still watching tv, so I head over and join him, relaxing back into the sofa.

Harry turns to look at me. "I'm heading to the studio tomorrow, I'd love for you to join me, if you can?"

I smile at the thought. "Hm I'll see what I can do. I'd love to see you making music. Luisa's parents are pretty happy to spend time with Emilee, they may like to have her for the day. I'll text Luisa to check."

Harry stands up and goes to get his shoes, putting them on before grabbing his coat. I meet him in the hallway by the front door to see him out.

"Tonight was really fun. Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow." He smiles as he opens the door.

"It was. Goodnight Harry."
