Chapter 72: Chapter 72

Thaddeus Magic was in my system still and hadn t subsided, yet I did manage to sleep only to be awoken by a tiny body climbing over me and sitting half on me and half on her father. Opening my eyes I find Mara had climbed out of her cot, I don t remember Orion coming back but it was obvious he had because here she was trying to pry her father s eyelids open with her tiny fingers. Thaddeus rolls at her actions.

Mara jumps up and down her bottom hitting my hip as she excitedly tries to wake him. "Dad shower, shower" She squeals, prying his eyelid open and gazing in his eyeball. He smiles half asleep.

"Ask mumma poppit" He tells her as she continues forcing his lids open. I laugh as she then rolls over me doing the same to Ryland trying to wake him but he was snoring loudly, dead to the world until she stuck her finger up his nose making him jump and his eyes fly open.

"Shower" She demands her bottom lip jutting out. I sit up climbing over Ryland.
