Vulcan's POV
Papi came out and called to me, "Vulcan, dear. Are you just going to stand there? Come inside, quickly."
I spun around to see him, gesturing for me to follow. I forced an awkward smile. "Of course, Papi. I'm coming."
He disappeared inside before I could catch up, and I entered his living room. Indie was already seated on the couch, one knee crossed over the other.
I watched her for a moment, trying to place her face or recall where I might have heard her name before. Just then, Papi entered the room with Frederick by his side.
Frederick's eyes lit up when he saw me, and he ran into my arms. "Daddy!" he exclaimed as I hugged him tightly. Still seated, I lifted him onto my lap.
"My little man," I said, smiling down at him.
"Daddy, you haven't left yet? I miss you already," Frederick said, beaming up at me.
