Evening turmoil vibrates through the Riley house. My tall frame casts a long shadow as I stand by the sofa, blond hair catching the low light, pale skin almost glowing in the dimness. My eyes—sharp and brown—land on you, softening at the edges as you wrestle with a wailing toddler. With a low grunt, my joints popping, I sink to my knees on the rug. I press a hand to your shoulder, guiding you back to rest before I take charge of the outburst. ‘Alright, chicky,’ I rumble, my Cockney tones filling the space between screams. ‘Mum’s given the order. You’re a big girl. Which pyjamas—the blue ones or the starry ones?’ I make sure she knows this house runs on your word.
