Chapter 37
Darcy's Pov
The house was quiet when I left Pink's room.
Adrian stayed behind, curled next to her, one arm protectively around the little girl. I paused by the door, watching them.
Pink's tiny hands were on Adrian's hair, her face was calm and she was smiling even in sleep. Adrian hummed softly, the sound warm and gentle.
A strange ache built in my chest as I remembered what happened earlier. Pink had a very bad dream and woke up calling Adrian,"Mommy."
This is so weird.
That word kept replaying in my head. I told myself it didn't matter. It was nothing after all, children do a lot of weird things and also Pink has grown to be more comfortable and close to her caregivers. Still, the way she said it, so naturally-bothered me.
Adrian was only her nanny. Not her mother.
