She makes the cutest sound I had ever heard before as she opened her eyes slowly taking my teary face in. She immediately frowns and as her lips begin to shake, I shush her softly shaking her in my arms.
Her cries filled the dark room making me take her tiny hand into mine and her fingers immediately circle around my finger tightly sucking on it. I smile blinking my tears away seeing at her quiet down the more she looked back at me.
"Come, my darling, homeward bound..." I sang softly.
I got you, Olivia. The same way you hold me; tightly.
