Book 1 : Chapter 96 The Night Before Christmas

December 24th

As planned all those months ago, on Christmas Eve Leo and I went ice skating again. The night before I had called both Mateo and Allison separately, asking them to come.

They both agreed and I put the phone down with a mischievous grin.

"Are you meddling?" Leo asked me.

"I spoke to Allison the other day and brought up Mateo. You should have seen her face when she thinks about him, Leo. They're in love and they just need a little shove to realize it. And Mateo doesn't have the balls so I'm doing it for them," I said.

Leo rolled his eyes, "who do you think you are? Cupid?"

"Oh, I also invited Luca. He's offered to look after Cato and watch whilst we skate," I said.

"Just you wait. That man is going to kidnap our child soon. He's obsessed," Leo said.

"But aren't we all?" I said with a smile as he kissed his forehead.

The next day we were on the rink.
