Ashley cupped her cheek, her elbow resting on the edge of the bed as she sat on the floor beside it. She stared at Primo, whom she had just tucked in.
Primo blinked and stared back at her.
"Primo," she called with a smile. "Did I really worry you that much yesterday?"
He pursed his lips, hesitating. But seeing her expression, he felt safe enough to tell the truth.
[Just a bit.]
She chuckled and reached out to ruffle his hair. As she withdrew her hand, her smile stretched a little wider.
"Do you believe now that I'm… capable?" she asked, her brows rising as he thought it over.
After a moment, he smiled and nodded.
[Strong Mama.]
"I am," she smirked. "So even if this happens again — I'm not saying it will — but just in case…"
She trailed off as he was already moving his hands to tell her,
[You will be fine.]
