Santiago heard a knock on the door and put Nash's call on mute as he stood up to open the door. It had been a few hours since he had been cooped inside his study.
When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Persephone standing at the door holding a tray full of food, smiling silly at him.
He had an urge to pull her chubby cheeks but he knew she would pinch him back if he did.
"Why are you holding it?" Santiago instantly took the tray from her hand and made her sit on the couch. "Do you know how heavy it is? And why aren't you resting?"
He wondered what hell she was planning for him by beginning food specifically for him. Or she came with another difficult demand of hers once again.
"You didn't have breakfast," Persephone told him instead. Couldn't a wife be worried about her husband's well-being once in a blue moon?
Santiago had a look of realization as he muttered a sorry and then added. "I forgot."
