Page 45 of Starting Over with You
I glare, but Missy steps between us. “That’s enough. She is my sister, and she is welcome here. You don’t like it, you can leave.”
Before anyone can say anything else, Skyye’s door opens and she yawns loudly. She looks around the room, and I try to fix my face. “What’s going on?”
“Nothing,” I say, slipping out from behind Missy and going toward her. “Can I cuddle with you?”
She reaches for my hand, and I take it, my sweet niece threading her fingers with mine. “Yeah, come on.”
I don’t look back or even say a word. I shut Skyye’s door before taking off my pants and getting into bed with her. There is a huge body pillow between us, and we both cuddle into it as her sleepy blue eyes meet mine. “Did you have fun?”
I smile as I move her hair out of her lashes. “A blast. Your dad was there.”
She grins. “Yeah, he goes dancing on Thursdays.”
“He still has some sick moves.”
“Please,” she laughs. “I hear that enough from my friends.” I cackle as I cuddle in deeper to the pillow, and her lips curve up in a sleepy smile. “I’m glad he had you to hang out with. I bet it made him happy.”
My heart squeezes in my chest, but I keep it to myself how happy it made me.
