I balanced the chocolate cake properly on my hands before knocking on Alex's door. 


Not less than a minute later, a now seven year old Alex opened the door. 


Her eyes were slightly red which had me confused. 


I wished her squatting down with the cake. 


She muttered and I used my other hand to stroke her hair. 


" Your eyes are red, were you crying?" 


She smiled then shockingly hugged me, clinging tightly to me. 


I teased and she hugged me even tightly. 


I joked before picking her up with my free hand. 


I haven't carried Alex like this in years and I was fully content with the opportunity to do so. 


Alex buried her face in my neck as I placed the cake on the kitchen counter.
