Javier smiled, letting his gaze rest on each of them in turn.
I'm so lucky to have them. Every one of them is special. Each in her own way.
His eyes lingered on Liana and Gloria, who now stood with their arms crossed beneath their chests. A subtle, knowing pose that highlighted their curves. Gloria, as always, had the advantage in size, a fact she carried with quiet, effortless pride.
Felicia fidgeted, her usual princess-like composure softened into something shy and endearing.
She's so serious on the outside, all rules and decorum… but seeing her flustered like this, shy like this… I feel special. Seeing a side of her she never shows anyone else.
Mimi radiated cheerful energy and open affection, her playful "Nya!"s and swaying tail as much a part of her as her smile.
Javier felt Delya's warm hug and her dreamy, contented sigh as she nestled against his chest.
He looked at them all once more, his heart full.
"Let's all head to our room," he said softly. "I'm tired."
