The corners of Natalie's mouth twitched and she finally gave up.

She could have finished her shower in thirty minutes, but with Shane's constant interfering, she only left the bathroom two hours later.

After she finally finished her shower, Natalie collapsed on the bed.

Shane ended up being the one to blow her hair dry for her.

Natalie was so tired that she started dozing off while he dried her long locks.

He looked at her sleeping face with a gaze almost overflowing with his love for her.

After that, he turned off the hairdryer and bent down to kiss Natalie on the forehead lightly. “Goodnight,” he whispered as he tucked her in.

Natalie's mouth twitched slightly, as if trying to reply.

Shane chuckled lightly and put the hairdryer away. After he turned off the light, he pulled her into his embrace.

After breakfast the next day, the family of four went out for a day of fun.

Natalie didn't need to compete that day and Shane was free of work. Coupled with the fact that the two kids didn't have school, it was the perfect day to go for a family outing.

The two children wouldn't stop chattering in their excitement. The car ride was filled with their constant bickering of where to go.
