"You're back."
She sat up from the couch and wrapped around the man's waist.

Jackson looked down, his large hand stroking over her head and long black hair that was cascading down her back. She had taken a bath and smelled of sweet shower gel.
"Your friend sent you puffs. Want some?"
He pinched her jaw and raised her small face.
"Sure."
Having received a WhatsApp message from Lily, she knew Lily bought that for her.
The man found it inconvenient to feed her while standing there, so he picked her up and put her on his lap while sitting on the couch.

On the couch with Jackson, trying to sit still, she had to straddle him.
