ubbed his forehead, pressing hard. Meeting Chloe's deep ocean-like blue eyes made his heart skip a beat. After a long pause, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Noah asked, "What... what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Chloe let out a soft sigh and lowered her eyes. Before she could respond, Wyatt in the shopping cart spoke up first, "sauced beef steak"

"Exactly. We should buy some ribs," Noah said, pushing the shopping cart in the wrong direction. He said, "Wyatt, you are smart."

"Uncle Noah, you're going the wrong way. It's over there," Wyatt said as he pointed out

Noah adjusted the cart and backed it up.

Wyatt glanced at Chloe standing motionless. He thought, "What's with these two acting so weird? He asked, "Mommy, why are you standing there like that?"

Chloe frowned. She snapped out of it and clenched her fists. She thought, I must be losing it, seeing odd expressions in the eyes of someone with a mixed-up mind"

She took a deep breath and quickly caught up with Noah before he bought randomly. She picked out a few good ribs. When she put the ribs in the shopping cart, she noticed there were toys inside.

She asked, "Why are you guys buying so many toys?"

Chloe glanced up at Noah. Noah naturally looked away and scanned the area. He suggested, "Let's get some snacks too!" Seeing Noah's awkward way of walking, Chloe frowned, wondering if something was wrong with him. By the time they left the supermarket, it was already dark.

Noah let Chloe drive the car while he hopped into the back seat and started playing with the new toys they just bought. He thought, 'Why don't they seem as fun as before they were bought?"

Noah said to Wyatt, "You can have all these; consider them gifts from me."

Wyatt looked dismissive and said, "They are so childish. I don't want to play with them. My mom bought me way cooler
