The photography show was a brilliant success so far and Amber was beaming as she finished a conversation with a potential buyer. This was her first big show since she had come from New York. What made the night better? She had her sweet boy here with her. “Mama!” She hear Liam shout as he bolted towards her and Amber happily bent down to pick up her son. She smothered him in loving kisses which earned her a series giggles. Cillian hadn’t been able to make it to this showing and her babysitter had cancelled - everything had seemed to work out for good. With one last kiss to his nose, Amber lowered her son, crouching down to his level as she combed back his hair lovingly. “Are you hungry, sweetie? I have some....” The rest of her sentence trailed off as her almond eyes landed on the one person she wished she hadn’t. Cillian stood mere feet away, watching her and Liam with a look that Amber couldn’t name. Protectively and mostly instinctively, Amber wrapped her son in her arms and lifted him up again, cradling her...no, their, son close to her. “W-what are you doing here?” Amber knew there was no way he had missed the interaction and Cillian was smart, no doubt putting the puzzle pieces together to this mystery. This wasn’t how she wanted Cillian to find out about their son.
