Shane was naturally supportive of the plan.

Today was a Monday, and the evening was reserved for the children.

Just as the four were engrossed in watching a cartoon, Shane's cell phone rang.

Natalie and the children glanced at him.

Shane realized that his phone had interrupted their moment of togetherness and he apologized, feeling rather embarrassed.

“It's from Jackson.” Shane pursed his lips.

Natalie was surprised. “Dr. Baker? It's so late. Why would he call? Please do answer him.”

Shane murmured a reply and answered the call.
