*Elio*
Getting off early was not something I was used to, and arriving home to an empty house, even less so. Luckily, however, I wasn’t entirely alone.
I checked my watch for the time. It was just past one o'clock, so I roughly guessed that it had only been around twenty or thirty minutes since Cat had left. She’d informed me she had an appointment for wedding preparations but didn’t tell me what they were.
So it was probably about the wedding dress.
Cat had gone to great lengths to keep anything about her wedding dress hidden from me. Though I normally wasn’t superstitious, if it kept Cat happy, then I was more willing to play along and not see the dress until our wedding day.
I kicked my shoes off and unbuttoned my shirt, glancing into the kitchen and then the living room. Both were empty so I frowned, heading straight upstairs to the nursery. The lights were all off and the door to the nursery was creaked open as I approached.
