Luis drifted off to sleep peacefully, a faint smile lingering on his face even as he dreamed.
It was clear just how happy he was.
Johnathan walked in and found his wife still sitting by their son’s bedside. He lowered his voice and asked, “Is he asleep?”
“Shh—”
Sariyah raised a finger to her lips and whispered, “He just nodded off. Don’t speak too loudly—you’ll wake him. And if he wakes, who knows when he’ll fall asleep again.”
“Luis is so happy tonight,” she added softly. “Look at him—he’s even smiling in his sleep.”
Her gaze lingered on their son’s angelic face.
