He was so incredibly sweet with Addison, and when he held my hand, I felt the warmth of his skin spread a soothing feeling up my arm and across my whole body. There was definitely something about him. Sylvie was right. I shouldnât be overthinking this too much. I should just let it go and see what happened.
When we got to the kerb to get in the car, Aiden opened the door and revealed there was a child seat in the back. I didnât even know he would have considered such a thing, never mind having actually had one put in the car while we got ready for it to arrive.
âYou have a car seat?â
âI had Derek collect one from the Argos in Cheapside on his way here with the car.â
I was speechless. This was not the thoughtless bastard I had come to know from working with him. This was something else. I settled Addison in the seat and strapped her in. Derek handed the keys to Aiden and smiled. I got into the passenger side and he got into the driverâs side.
âAll set?â
I glanced over at Addison, secure in her new seat, and settled back into her deep sleep. âLooks like it.â
He nodded. âSo where am I heading?â
âGrove Road in Sutton.â
Aiden tapped on the satnav and headed off into the evening London traffic.
The miles passed with idle chitchat, and I was, for the most part, grateful for it. I had shared so much with him, and it felt like I was exposed. He still wasnât sharing too much of himself with me.
He pulled up into the driveway of my home, and he helped me get Addison into the house, carrying her from the car to her bedroom while I got our belongings and unlocked the front door. I quickly got Addison into her vest and pants and tucked her into bed.
When I got back to the living room, Aiden was looking at the family photos on the wall. I followed his eyes and saw the photo of Tim and me holding Addison when she was just born.
âShe looks just like him,â he said, without looking over his shoulder.
I agreed. âCan I get you a coffee?â
He looked over at me and nodded.
âHave a seat and make yourself at home. Iâll be back shortly.â
I watched him briefly as he slid his suit jacket down over his broad shoulders and back and took off his tie and undid the buttons on his collar. I wanted to walk over to him and kiss him. Instead, I retreated to the kitchen to make coffee. I heard the TV switch on, and the delightful sounds of Tom Ellis playing Lucifer coming from the living room.
âLucifer?â I handed him a mug and took a seat on the sofa beside him.
âYeah. Donât you watch it?â He took the cup from me and had a sip.
I laughed. âOh, I watch it.â
We sat there and chatted more about the kind of music and films and TV shows we enjoyed, and it turned out we actually had a lot of likes in common.
