Aurora had a constant smile on her face, delighted to see Noah at the dining table. Sensing Sarah's exhaustion from taking care of him during his hospital stay, Noah decided to order dinner to be delivered, sparing Sarah from the additional task of cooking.
"Are you full from looking at Uncle's face?" Noah joked around, pinching Aurora's chubby cheek. "Eat some more," he urged her to finish her meal.
Aurora grinned and leaned closer, excitement shining in her eyes. "Uncle," she began, "Have you decided to live with us?"
"Ah!" Sarah's voice suddenly interrupted, surprising both father and daughter. "I meant to ask this, when are you going back? Why didn't you catch your flight?"
Aurora's expression instantly shifted to disappointment as Sarah cut in with her question.
"I'm going to stay here for a while," he replied, looking at Aurora and giving her a wink. Her joyous reaction delighted him.
