"Heh..." He laughed awkwardly. "I didn't expect you to put it that way."

"Those kids." Allison shook her head, moisturizing her hands before joining him on the bed. Another shallow breath escaped her lips as she thought about it.

He nodded at his wife reassuringly. "There were probably things we could've done better, but I know we did our best. And even now, we're still doing our best."

Surely, she had married a good man. "Though, I wonder..." Charles tilted his head. "Why was Haines there last
