Sierra Sutton was on the phone with Autumn Shelby. "...What? You're not coming? But it's the baby's birthday today. You promised me you'd be here for his first birthday."
"Sierra, I really can't get away. Can you just play with the baby for now? I... If I have time later, I'll definitely come find you. That's all for now."
"But Autumn, the baby and I have been waiting here for you for a long time. Just come over. The baby really misses his mom... Autumn? Hello? Hello...?"
She had already hung up.
He swung his arm through the air in frustration. When he looked down, he realized the baby, who had been on the chair next to him, was gone.
Sierra Sutton panicked. He cried out, "Baby!" Just as he was about to turn and search, a light, sweet voice called out from behind him, "Sir."
He spun around to see Clara Grant standing there, holding the baby in her arms. Both of them, one big and one small, were smiling at him.
