“You—” Natalie’s face reddened as she struggled to come up with a reply.

The corner of Shane’s mouth twitched with humor. “It’s fine; just let them be. I’m quite happy to be their Dad.”

Connor’s sharp eyes blinked several times at his words as if he was in serious contemplation.

“Ok.” Knowing it was pointless to stop him, Natalie agreed.

I guess it’d be good if he went to school. I’ll feel a bit more at ease if he was with Sharon.

“Yay!” Connor clapped his hands in glee.

Shane pulled Connor along with him as he carried Sharon in one arm. “We’ll leave now,” he said to Natalie.

“Ok,” replied Natalie, and she walked with them to the elevator lobby.
