It’s a little after six in the evening when I pull into Sierra’s complex. I dropped her and little man off this afternoon but then left once I made sure they didn’t need anything. I wasn’t sure if I should stick around or give her space while she took care of her son, so I chose the latter.

We learned that Jayce is in the pre-school class that Kenzie helps in at her school. Small freaking world. When I asked him if he knew her, he wouldn’t stop talking about her until he passed out in my backseat. Poor kid was feeling really cruddy.

I park in her designated spot for guests and then make my way into her building, my mom’s chicken noodle soup in hand. As soon as I told her that Jayce was sick with something, she insisted that I come over to get him some of her famous concoction. Still to this day, when Kenz is sick, she makes the stuff, and it seems to work miracles. So, I have my mother to thank for having an excuse to see her again tonight.

Before I can even knock, Sierra swings the door open, looking haggard. She’s still beautiful as ever, but I can tell that she’s exhausted.

“Hey.” She yawns into her hand. “Come on in. I was just getting ready to make the boys something to eat. Well, Auggie at least. Jayce is passed out on the couch.”

I walk into the apartment and then pull her into my arms and kiss the top of her head. “My mom sent chicken noodle soup for squirt, but there’s enough for all of you.”

Her face lights up. “That was so sweet.” I can tell that she’s not used to being taken care of, but I’ve made it my mission to make sure that’s never the case again. This woman deserves the world, and I hope that I can at least give her a little part of it. “Thanks for dropping my car off earlier.”

“It was nothing.” I peck her lips before following her into the kitchen.

Auggie is sitting at the table, frustration etched on his face.

“What’s up, dude?” I ask as I ruffle his hair.

He sighs dramatically. “Mom said I can’t play video games until I get my math homework done. This crap is hard.”

I look over at his mom, and she rolls her eyes at his attempt to curse.

“Want some help?” I take the seat next to him and look over the problems in front of us.

“Are you good at math? Because I’m terrible at it and have no clue how to do it the new way. It’s math, for God’s sake. Why do they have to make it so complicated?”

I’ve helped Kenz a lot over the years, so surely I can handle second-grade math, right?

Sierra goes to the stove and empties the soup into a pot before heating it up. I show Auggie how to do one of his problems, and while he’s busying himself with that, I stare at his mom like a perv.
