The Judgement of Solomon ~~ [Tonnie]
@ugly-anastasia
Tom was exhausted. Not just from the baby. Not just from work. But because last night he could not fall asleep. He tossed and turned, thinking about the meeting with Annie that he had this morning. It wasn’t going to go well. He had already resigned himself to that fact. What was difficult was resigning himself to the next eighteen years of conversations that would not go well. He tried not to dwell on that future, but it was difficult for him, as someone who often dwelt on melancholy.
When the knock sounded at the door, Tom was just finishing pouring himself a cup of coffee. He took a sip and looked at Levi, who was sitting, wide awake, in his high chair at the table.
“You ready, mate?”
Levi cooed and smiled at him, squishing a piece of cut up banana between his fingers. Tom rubbed a hand over the baby’s head before making his way to the front door, pushing the dogs away with his leg as he opened it.
“Hullo,” he greeted Annie, letting her in. “You want coffee?” He moved back towards Levi, using the baby’s bib to clean his face automatically.
