Nina was about to put down the knife and head outside when Nash stopped her. "You still need to wash your hands. It's a hassle. I'll go get it."

"It's in my backpack. Just unzip it, and you'll find it," Nina replied, completely unguarded. She had nothing to hide, so she wasn't worried about him going through her bag.

Nash left the kitchen and, along with Orion, made his way to the entrance. "Hey, buddy, do you want to share how the singing competition went today?"

"Sure! Mom was amazing! Everyone was clapping for her!" Orion excitedly shared. He thought his mom was not only the prettiest but also incredibly kind. Unlike many of his classmates, he had never been scolded!

A smile spread across Nash's face as he unzipped the bag and quickly found the two stickers. He handed them to Orion and placed the bag on the rack. As he turned to head back, Orion accidentally stepped on a shoe nearby and almost fell. Nash rushed to catch him, but in the process, he accidentally knocked over Nina's bag, spilling its contents everywhere.

Hearing the commotion, Mrs. Watson, came over and scooped up Orion. Nash bent down to pick up the scattered items and soon noticed a piece of paper next to the lipstick.
