~ Switching Back Third POV~
The next morning, Matteo woke up first. He was sitting up in bed, working quietly on his laptop while Adrian slept peacefully beside him. The quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken by the buzzing of Adrian's phone on the nightstand.
Matteo glanced over and saw the name "Granny" flashing across the screen. Looking back at his partner, who was still deeply asleep, Matteo decided not to disturb him. He let the phone ring out until the screen went dark.
A few seconds later, the phone began to ring again. Still, Matteo chose to let him rest.
When the phone rang for a third time, a different caller name appeared on the screen: "Mother-in-Law."
Matteo stared at the name, a subtle shift in his expression as he debated whether he should wake him this time. Before he could decide, the persistent ringing caused Adrian to stir. Half-asleep, Adrian reached out blindly and mumbled for Matteo to hand him the phone.
