Plus, he loved Viktor's new softness too, the ease in his motions, the pouch of skin on his lower stomach that would never quite be flat again.
“Can I be honest?” Jayce asks, trying to catch a glimpse of Viktor's face.
“Hmm?”
“Lenka was an absolute terror today without you. She threw two bowls at me and cried no less than five times.”or
