Quincy respected her need for space and quietly stepped back.

Meanwhile, over at Nash's place, Nash had decided to leave work early today, something he rarely did.

With Lydia and Quincy now running their own operation, he had been single-handedly managing everything at York Corporation, which kept him busy beyond belief.

His wife, Nina, had been holding down the fort at home, handling all the household tasks with grace. Their two kids, Gemma and Orion, had been nothing but sweet and helpful. Little Gemma was always calm, and Orion eagerly helped with whatever he could.
