Chapter Sixty-Six
Malachi’s POV
I woke up with a smile. A rare thing for me. But today, Alicia will be coming to work.
I got dressed quickly and headed downstairs. She was already at the breakfast table, alone. Everyone else was still asleep or had left early.
Perfect.
"Good morning, little bird," I said, taking the seat next to her instead of across from her.
"Morning." She glanced at me. "You’re in a good mood."
"Am I?"
"You’re smiling. You never smile at breakfast."
"Maybe I have a reason to."
She looked down at her plate, but I caught the small smile on her lips before she hid it.
We ate in comfortable silence. I watched her between bites. The way she cut her food into small pieces. The way she tucked her silver hair behind her ear. Every little movement.
