Beyond the Divorce

I was just about to doze off when my phone rang, jolting me awake. I quickly found my phone, surprised to see that it was Lauren. "Are you back?" she asked.

"Yes. I got back last night. Trinity called when I woke up this morning. She's back too, so I rushed over to the Huffman family's place. I was just about to head back to Pleca Park," I explained. Then, I quickly asked, "How's Oliver doing?" "He's doing fine, don't worry. Alex is here. I thought about going to Pleca Park to visit your dad," Lauren said.

"You go ahead with your plans."

"I'm already on my way out. I was just taking a break. They need some space," Lauren said softly. I could tell she was walking.

"Come over, then. I'm almost home." I looked at the street and realized I was at the intersection near our house.

"Alright, you get some rest. I'll be there soon." Lauren quickly hung up.

Putting away the phone, I glanced at the two little beauties sleeping in the back seat.

I had intended to go back and take a nap, but it seemed that plan was out the window.

Atlas looked at me, smiling. "Looks like there's no nap for you."
