That evening, Alexander pushed open the bedroom door to find Ella sitting comfortably against the headboard with her laptop resting on her lap. Her eyes remained fixed on the screen as her fingers moved effortlessly across the keyboard, completely absorbed in her work.
A smile found its way onto his face. "Hey, babe."
Ella looked up and smiled. "Hi." Her lips curved into a smile before her attention returned to the spreadsheet she was reviewing.
Alexander loosened the collar of his shirt before walking into the bathroom. A few minutes later, he walked back out dressed in a pair of dark grey sleep pants and a black T-shirt.
He made his way to his side of the bed, Ella looked up again from her work and watched him for a few seconds before a giggle escaped her.
"What?" Alexander asked innocently.
"You promised Grandpa."
"Hmm?"
"You promised him you'd sleep in the guest room."
