Nikolai sat on the elegant cream-white sofa across the back wall, facing the large floor-to-ceiling window wall in Nikita's room.
'What a comfortable view.'
On each of his legs sat one of the two lovely identical twins, Dhalia and Elizabeth. Meanwhile, Viktoria played with Leonid on the massive five-metre square playmat on the other side of the room.
His glance trailed across their lovely little faces, which still bore a slight chubby shape.
He wanted to talk with them more, but the sudden, intense situation seemed to have exhausted the two little pups, with both of them clinging to his stomach with their eyes closed and snoring softly.
'Did the noise scare them?' He wondered, gently stroking the pale white hairs from their cheeks and then flicking their squishy noses.
"Nikolai, you didn't just come to cuddle the girls, right?"
"Hm?"
