"Alina, you'll be late for school again," my father's voice echoed through the door, causing a knock. "Just ten more minutes," I muttered, my heart racing. I was with Uncle Harrison – had Dad discovered our secret meeting?
"Alina," I softly exclaimed, opening my eyes to find myself back in my room. Uncle Harrison stood there, wearing his trademark suit, a gentle smile on his face.
"I'm taking a bath," I called out, still trying to process the sudden change.
"Your breakfast is ready; hurry up," Dad's voice faded as he left.
"Good morning," Uncle Harrison greeted me, tenderly cupping my cheeks and giving me a kiss.
"Good morning," I whispered, returning the affection.
"When did you bring me here?" I inquired, curiosity mixing with the warmth of the moment.
"You were sound asleep," he replied, lifting me into his arms and carrying me towards the bathroom. "This hide-and-seek game can be exhausting, huh?"
"It's thrilling, though," he chuckled, adding a touch of playfulness.
