barely twitched when we came into the room and while I

read Brad his comic. I closed their door behind me and

went back to my own bedroom to find Maddox still in the

nursery.

He was still holding Iris, rocking her back and forth. My

chest squeezed at the sight of them together. Warmth.

There was just something about a big, muscled man

holding a tiny baby against his bare chest. When he noticed

me at the entrance of the nursery, he gave me a tired smile.

Maddox placed Iris back into her crib and we both held

our breath. When she didn’t instantly start wailing, he

made his way to me. Maddox cupped my face and placed a

tender kiss on my forehead. “Let’s go to bed. You look

wrecked, babe.”

We both got in bed without another word. The moment

his head hit the pillow, Maddox was sound asleep and

snoring.

But I didn’t sleep.

I stared up at the ceiling until the sun rose, the boys

woke up and Iris started crying again.

MADDOX WAS GONE EARLY this morning. He was busy with the

new Taekwondo facility him and Colton had opened a year

before. It started off as a shared hobby between the two

friends but three months ago, it had become so popular

that they now had over three hundred students and

counting.

I knew Maddox enjoyed the time with his students.

I knew he loved knowing that he was helping these kids

find something they liked doing. He taught them with

patience and understanding.

But I missed my husband.
