Chapter 55 - Shopping and Surprise Encounters

Hazel's POV

"Good morning, gorgeous Hazel!" Chloe burst into the kitchen wearing her silk pajamas, practically glowing with anticipation. "And hello to the most adorable little prince in the universe!" She swept down to press a tender kiss against my son's forehead.

Leo beamed up at her with that infectious morning energy only children possess. "I got up super early, godmother!"

"Good morning, Chl. All this radiant happiness is because Noah touches down today, isn't it?" I teased, watching my best friend practically float around the kitchen island.

"Oh Hazel, my darling man arrives today and I'm absolutely dying to get my hands on him!" She fluttered her eyelashes theatrically while clutching her chest in mock swooning.

"Well then, let's fuel up with breakfast, get ourselves ready, and transform his apartment into the perfect welcome home," I declared, genuinely thrilled for my friend's reunion.
