Memories of the Early Days

During the process of putting together the books featuring Baron and Naomi's story, it was sometimes necessary to photograph some extra scenes to fill in missing spots in the story. So, I'll start by sharing some of the brand new scenes which were needed for the third book in the series - Somewhere in Time, New Beginnings

Baron's Reaction

In book three - new Beginnings - it is revealed that Baron is actually Dominic's son, but Baron's reaction was never included in the original story.  
​After the revelation, Dominic and Baron went out to the terrace to talk....

We couldn't hear their conversation...

...and neither could Miho and Naomi, who were watching them through the window....

Baron was very quiet that evening back in their apartment. Naomi sensed that he was likely still in shock at the revelation.
“How are you feeling?” she asked.
Picture
“I’m okay.” he answered, “but it’s going to take a bit of time to get used to this. Dominic and I had a long talk in the garden, and even though it came as a huge shock to him, he’s also thankful and excited to know his son wasn’t killed in that attack long ago.”
Picture
“But, how are you feeling about all of this?” she asked again.
Picture
“I don’t know. It’s a lot to take in all at once."
Picture
"I used to think of Lawrence’s father sort of as my own father as well, and never really wondered what my real father would have been like.”
Picture
“And what do you think of Dominic?” she asked as they started getting ready for bed.
Picture
​“I like him.” Baron responded. “I've gotten to know him better since he moved in with my Mother, and he really is a good man. He seems to be a very impressive person, and I have great respect for him.” ​
Picture
 “I really like him too,” added Naomi, “and I personally think this is amazing news. Who knew that your Father was still alive, and living right here with us in Miho’s castle? But I think your relationship will take some time to grow.”
Picture
“Yes,” replied Baron. “He suggested we just take it slow, and I should just continue to call him Dominic until some day when I might feel comfortable enough to call him Father.”

What a lovely story. It is very touching how Baron already respects his father as a man but wants to take his time to learn about this man as his father.

Naomi is wise to ask the questions that will prompt him thinking and yet give him the space to figure things out for himself.

They are truly a delightful couple.

Gentle and wise would be two words to describe Naomi's conversations with Baron about his new-found father. It would take time to process such a momentous revelation, and talking about it in a safe environment is wise.

These two folks are a lovely couple and it is a pleasure to watch their relationship. Well done ❤️

Thank you.

I don't know why I never thought to include Baron's reaction in the original story two years ago, but the next book New Beginnings really needed it.

It's always a challenge to take new photos to fill in a missing scene seamlessly from an older story, but it's always worth it. It seems I've been doing a lot of that lately.
