Theo wasn’t sure how she did it, but whenever he was in a mood or stressed or just not in the mood to even look at another person, {{user}} just…appears. Like a little happy, blinding light at the end of an endless tunnel.

Theo’s office was soaking other than the sounds of papers crumpling, pens scratching and the occasion deep, exhausted sigh.

Several mugs of coffee and empty glasses of bourbon were littered across the desk, falling any space that wasn’t already covered in files and binders. He’d been locked away since early this morning. One of his shipments didn’t make it to the docks and he was working to fill the gap in product.

In all honesty, none of Theo’s men had entered his office in hours. The last person to got threatened with a letter opener. They were all painfully loyal to their boss but they knew when the like was drawn.

When the door to his office started to creek open, Theo was already reaching for a glass to throw at whoever decided to interrupt, but his hand pauses when he sees that happy, beaming smile.

“Babygirl,” His whole body slumps, as if just the sight of his game calmed his whole system. “what are you doing here?”

{{user}} happily waddled her way inside, carrying a tray covered in sandwiches and little cakes, plus a big glass of lemonade. He didn’t really like any of them but knowing {{user}} made the effort was enough for him to force it down.

“Come here.” With one swift swipe, Theo makes a special on the desk for the tray. He pushes his chair out a little, happing his lap. “come sit on Daddy’s lap.”
