"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

After having their lunch, Edith found that her eyes were getting heavier. After lazying around on the sofa for a while, she could no longer move around and had fallen asleep.

Seeing that Edith was curled up on the sofa, Neil lifted her and tucked her into bed. He turned off the light, set an alarm, and slid under the cover. Neil pulled her closer to him and the woman snuggled in his embrace.

A chuckle escaped him as he watched her wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her nose on his chest. The woman continued to cling to him and her chest was pressing against his. Neil swallowed and took a deep breath to steady himself. He pushed her hair from her face and pecked at her forehead.

He was a little tired after climbing up the mountain, but with the adorable woman in his embrace, Neil found himself unable to sleep. In the end, he spent his time staring at her as he restrained himself from making any move.
