He was glad his friend and brother had come.
Josh quickly scouted the room and when his eyes rested on Vera asleep on his shoulder, he gave a little grin to Luke
Luke gave his own grin back.
It made him happy that his friend and brother had accepted Vera.
He knew that joshed loved his Vera.
He knew it was a protectively brother love.
If Luke recalled, Josh had actually accepted Vera as soon as he knew of Luke’s intention.
It was Josh who had suggested the ‘Win a date with Mr. Reynolds’
And for that, he wouldn’t forget Josh ever doing that for him.
Josh walked over to Sera and kissed her head ever so gently so he wouldn’t wake the poor little girl up.
He then sat on the chair that was on the other side of Luke and Vera.
He pulled his phone out of his pocket and held it up to show that he was going to message him.<
