I could just move here now because I don’t have a job. But how would I contribute financially when I don’t have a job? I know I can’t cook to make up for it.
“We don’t have to know everything now. We can figure it out along the way,” he murmurs. “Now, are you ready for breakfast?”
My stomach rumbles.
“Mila!”Aiden yells as he walks into the cabin.
I force a smile on my face. “Aiden.”
He stops and searches my face. “Are you alright?”
I nod. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
“You don’t look excited to see me,” he points out.
“She’s worried that you are going to scold her,” Tobias says as he walks into the room.
“And why would I do that right away? I haven’t seen you in five years. Come here!” He holds his arms wide open.
I run toward him and melt into his embrace.
“No running in the house. I don’t want you tripping and falling,” Tobias states.
“No running in the house,” I mimic.
Who makes that type of rule?
“Your Daddy does.” Tobias raises an eyebrow.
“Did I say that out loud?”
He nods. I push my face into Aiden’s chest and take a deep breath. I feel my face turn red when I realize he called himself Daddy.
“Let’s go eat and talk. I want to know everything that has happened in the past five years,” Aiden says, leading me to the table.
Tobias gives me a pointed look, and I shake my head. There is no way I’m going to tell him about what happened after the car accident. Not on the first day when I haven’t seen him in forever.
“You call me at least twice a week. You know what’s happened,” I point out as I sit down.
“Yes, but I know you haven’t told me everything. Some of our phone calls were short because you were so tired.”
Sighing, I nod. “Okay, you have me there, but nothing has happened really. I go to work, go home, call you, then sleep.”
“You don’t do anything on the weekends?” he asks.
“I visit the coffee shop sometimes.”
But most of the time I was working one of the days, then sleeping the other day.
“Have you lost weight?” he asks, looking my body up and down. “Let’s do a full checkup while you’re here.”
“I think that would be a great idea,” Tobias chimes in.
“I don’t need it.” I cross my arms over my chest.
Tobias and Aiden raise an eyebrow.
“When was the last time you saw a doctor to get checked up?” Aiden asks.
