192- Aunt Sophie

Room service was collecting dishes from the table after dinner. Rafael carried all the kids to their room for tucking them and Marissa felt as if her back had turned into a hardboard. 

She picked up her phone when saw Sophie's name blinking on the screen, "Hey!" She propped up her feet on the coffee table placed before her.

"Flint and I are back. We are missing you and the kids!" Sophie's voice was a bit loud, Marissa had to put some distance between the phone and her ear.

"Rafael just took them to their room,"

"Oh," disappointment was evident in Sophie's voice, "I was missing them so much, especially Abi."

"Hang on. I'll see if I can squeeze a few minutes for you," she peeked inside the room where the kids were standing there in their PJs.

Rafael was busy brushing Ariel's hair and was saying something to Alex. It warmed Marissa's heart and she leaned her shoulder against the doorway.

They all looked so cute.
