Chapter 67. Las Vegas

ALESSANDRO

I watched through the screen as Victoria alighted from the car with a wide smile on her lips as she told something to the driver, maybe the time to pick her up.

He nodded at her before she stood, watched and waved at him as he drove off.

She extracted her phone from her purse before excitedly calling someone up.

I can sense her joy from here.

I can make out her lips moving but I can’t make out her words due to the distance between the camera and her.

She proceeded to sit on the bench and wait excitedly for whoever she was meeting as she placed her hand protectively over her stomach.

Most times she would lean towards her stomach and talk to our child, I guess?

That would be a strange thing to do since the little bun can’t hear or talk back but then again it was exactly what she was doing.

Talking to our baby. This is the first time I’ve referred to it as that.

It’s mine and hers. It felt good to acknowledge that.<
