"Damien!" Ariel shouted at the top of her lungs as soon as she saw the sleeping boy and sprinted towards the bed.
When Damien opened his eyes, Ariel was already on the bed and staring down at his beautiful grey eyes. "Ariel!" he gave a wide smile to her.
Ariel also gave a smile to him and booped his nose just to check if he was an illusion created by her father or if he was real.
And once she confirmed that he was real, she cupped his cheeks with her tiny hand and said, "I missed you so much, Damien."
"So did I," Damien also held out his hands and pinched Ariel's baby cheeks.
Adeline was watching the two of them with a wide smile on her face. Unlike how Ariel would normally greet her cousins, either by hitting them with pillows or jump-scaring them, Ariel was greeting Damien very sweetly.
"Aww… don't they look so cute?" Adeline asked in a whisper and turned her gaze towards her husband.
