"Grandma, I don't want to live away from my daddy and mommy... I know that I won't get to see them again... What if I miss them?" her words were a bit incoherent as she forced back her sobs.

Seeing the little girl, he felt something tugged on his heart.

"Hazel," Neil spoke after a while. "If you don't want to live in the countryside with grandma, then would you like to live with me?"

A Lifetime With You

Edith stretched up her body and sighed as she woke up. She rolled over on her bed and noticed that something was not right. She could still remember that battle that started in the kitchen and soon moved on to the sofa.

Then how did she ended up waking in her room?

The two of them kissed for a long time until she was breathless. She remembered resting her head on his chest to rest for a while. She probably fell asleep around that time.

Then, the person who carried her back into the room should be her darling.

Edith reached for her phone to look at the time and noticed that it was still early. Thinking that there was still an hour left until her alarm wound set off and she would have to prepare to go to work, Edith laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

Her thought went back to what happened last night and suddenly, her lips curled into a wide smile. Grabbing at the pillow on the side, Edith pressed her face on it to hide her reddened cheek.
