“Come here, mi corazón,” Javier says in a gruff voice entering the kitchen. I know he feels bad about what happened earlier just as much as I do.
Sophia looks over at him and bites her lip, nervous almost. He came down on her harder than I did so I understand her hesitation. He isn’t quick to anger like I am, but when he’s pissed everyone knows it. He steps closer to us and I kiss the top of her head and release her to V.
“I’m sorry I yelled V. Everything just kind of came out all at once.” She says against his chest as he holds her tight.
Javier looks over at me and I wink, letting him know everything is going to be fine. He nods and looks down at our girl in his arms. Holding her hips, he kisses her forehead. “I’m the one who is sorry. I shouldn’t have talked to you like that. Do you forgive me?”
“Of course, I do!” She gasps. “I was so worried this was going to change things. I don’t want to lose you or Ryan.” She says looking between us.
I walk to where they are standing and wrap my hand around the back of her neck, rubbing my thumb against her soft skin. “That will never fucking happen. You are the most important person in our lives. Nothing will ever change that.”
Sophia sucks her bottom lip into her mouth and nods, looking between Javier and me. “Okay.” She says and smiles.
“Now who’s ready for dinner?” I ask.
