Game Over No Second Chances

Calvin wouldn't have wanted Serena and Hugh to sleep in separate beds.

Serena tested the soft, plush little bed and admitted with a small grin, "So, I told him I tend to toss and turn at night. If we share a bed, I might accidentally wake you up, and then neither of us would get much sleep. After that, Grandpa agreed to let me have my own bed. He even told me to get some proper rest."

She figured Calvin had a soft spot for Hugh. Hugh was his favorite grandson, after all. If her bad sleeping habits disturbed the future head of the Larson family, Calvin would, of course, understand.

But Hugh, knowing Calvin all too well, immediately fell silent.

He could just imagine what Calvin had assumed that Serena got frisky at night and stirred up his desires, causing them to stay up. That was completely wrong, of

course.

Still, seeing Serena so pleased with her little bed made all of Hugh's earlier frustration melt away. As long as she was happy, that was enough.

His expression softened as he turned toward the bathroom. Just then, Serena remembered she had left her clothes inside.

"Wait a minute."

"Okay." Hugh nodded.
