"I wasn't expecting you this early," Leo said when they finally pulled apart, his grin lopsided. "Don't you usually stay late?"
Mia answered for her, plopping her bag onto the nearest chair with a thud.
"Since you found your footing, she doesn't stay late anymore. She says she'd rather focus on me now."
Leo looked between them, warmth flickering in his chest. "Thanks, Aunt," he said softly, reaching into his jacket.
From the pocket, he pulled out a sleek white box with the silver Apple logo catching the dim hallway light.
"Here," he said, slipping out the iPhone 14 Pro and holding it out with both hands.
"He's serious, Sofi, he actually bought it!" she announced, already pulling out her own identical box from her bag.
"Look, he got me one too! Mine's already set up from the shop."
She held it up proudly like a medal. "He bought it for me."
Sofia's eyes went wide before she let out a groan, dragging her hand down her face.
