Chapter 90

Nora POV

Lucy kicks off her sneakers the moment we cross the threshold, leaving them in a haphazard pile by the coat closet. She’s already halfway down the hall before I can remind her to hang her coat.

“Daddy!” she says, sprinting toward him, arms wide.

Vincent is in the living room, scrolling through something on his phone. He looks up when he hears Lucy’s footsteps and his face softens the way it always does for her.

“There’s my girl.” He sets the phone down. “How was the office adventure?”

Lucy launches herself at him, arms wide. “I made a new friend!”

Shit.

Vincent catches her mid-leap, hoisting her onto his hip with practiced ease. “A new friend? At work? That’s a first. Who is it?”
