Stewart walked over and gently ruffled Irwin's hair. "So, which one do you want to pick for your mom?"

"I want to pick two!" Irwin announced brightly. "One for Mom Bryn, one for Mom Rosita so it's fair!"

Stewart's voice was warm and mellow. "Alright, that's fine."

Standing nearby, James overheard their conversation and couldn't help but be puzzled.

Stewart glanced back, his gaze briefly falling on the carrier in James's hand. His dark brows furrowed ever so slightly.
