When we arrived at Rai’s parents’ place, they had just finished having lunch. We entered and were greeted by Rai’s mom and dad. Little Rai came to us a moment later, carrying Leah in his arms.
We all took our seats in the living room, with little Rai sitting on Damian’s lap as per usual. It still puzzled me how comfortable little Rai was with Damian. Was it really possible he felt close to Damian just because I used to tell him stories about his dad and Damian? He had never tried to call Cole ‘Daddy’, and Cole was the one who had always been there for him. But then it was lucky he didn’t try to call him ‘Daddy’, or it would be difficult to break up with Cole.
“Rai, go to Mommy for a while. Uncle needs to talk to grandma.” I heard Damian tell little Rai. “Mom, can I talk to you for a moment?” he said as little Rai settled on my lap.
