Damian & Open
Mia had held the baby shower on a weekend which meant there was no plausible reason for him not to attend. The idea of being too busy with school work was ridiculous all around. Damian wasn't exacting sulking but he still wasn't doing the rounds. Playing the part of the socialite host had long worn out its welcome.
He'd contented himself by disappearing into the nursery and examining the variety of books. There were precious few that he actually recognized. He'd given Mia his own offering though it probably wasn't what she'd expected. It'd been a book on the campaigns of Alexander the Great. A book of over 500 pages, complete with footnotes. It couldn't help but stand out among the picture books. It may not a children's book per se, but definitely a tale he'd enjoyed when he was younger.
