章 108: Chapter 108 : Breathing With a Broken Heart

“Mommy, mommy, wake up!” Ken cried, running into my room and jumping on the bed.

I groaned and rolled over, pushing him off of me. “Oh, Ken, it is too early for this.”

“But it is a big day,” he cheered.

Sighing, I blinked the sleep from my eyes and sat up. Other than Ken, the bed was empty.

“Where is your father?” I asked.

Ken shrugged. “Getting ready.”

“Getting ready for what?” I asked, smiling at him.

I grabbed my son and pulled him close, tickling his belly.

Ken shrieked with laughter and wiggled away from me.

“He’s getting ready for the party,” he said.

“What party?” I asked. I stopped trying to catch him.

Ken’s laughs started getting quieter and quieter now that I wasn’t tickling him.

“The engagement party, remember? You just got a dress for it,” Ken reminded me.

“Ken, I don’t think we’re going to have the party today,” I said. I laid back down and patted the bed next to me.

Ken got closer. He laid down and snuggled up to me.
