‘You’ve not said anything.’

He had waited until returning from his meeting to speak to Sophie about his proposal. Now he watched her make dinner. ‘Don’t you want to get married?’

Her response was to look at him as if he was mad.

Jonah got up and walked back into the living room, seeing the newly bathed baby in her playpen, smiling at something on the television.

‘Milly,’ he said and she turned to smile at him. ‘Speak to your mother.’

He was met with a laugh and a gurgle before she looked at the television again.

‘I see. You’re both not talking to me.’

Sophie walked in with a bottle of milk and glanced at him.

‘Jonah, not now.’ Sophie took Amelia out of the playpen. ‘Milly needs to go to bed.’

‘I’ll read her a story,’ he said enthusiastically. ‘She’s going to have to get used to me being around.’

Tucked under Sophie’s arm, he noticed Amelia grin before resting her head against her mother’s shoulder. He followed them into the bedroom.

‘Take her and no laughing,’ she sternly said, handing the baby over. ‘If she gets hiccups, you’re in trouble. Here’s the bottle and read her a story.’ Then she kissed him. ‘I love you, Jonah.’

Sighing in response, he gave Amelia her bottle and started to read a story. The little girl sat up in her cot, listening and looking at the pictures as her blinking started to get slower. He took the bottle and placed her in the sleeping bag, zipping her up. Then Jonah gave her a pacifier and her soft toy.

His heart melted on seeing her start to fall asleep as he stroked her hair, watching the eyes start to shut.

‘Milly, I love you and your mummy,’ he whispered, watching her fall into a peaceful slumber. ‘And I want to be with you forever. We’ll have so much fun and I’ll make you happy. I loved you since the first moment I set eyes on you. The same way I feel about your mummy. I’m your daddy now, no one else.’

Listening to her breathing, he felt emotional, knowing the past seven days had been the best.

Even breaking with Onya and her angry messages didn’t upset him.

Harry was still calling and texting daily, but this made him feel a little uneasy and slightly guilty about his level of deceit towards his agent.

‘When?’ he heard Sophie ask, standing at the door.

‘When what?’ Jonah replied, confused by the question, but still gazing at the sleeping baby.

‘When do you intend for us to get hitched?’

He sharply turned to look at her.

‘Only have this conversation if you’re serious.’ Jonah stood up, seeing her smile. ‘I’m deadly serious about us getting married.’

‘You have to ask me nicely. Last time I wasn’t asked. It was assumed.’

‘As soon as possible,’ he said, grabbing her hands.

‘Jonah?’ she asked, looking up at him. ‘I have a birthday party to organise next week. My baby is one year old.’

‘Our baby.’ Jonah took a deep breath. ‘She is our baby, my child. And when we get married, I’ll adopt her.
