The dinner went on smoothly with Joshua who had taken up the job of feeding Ivy to her full. He made sure she ate well while they shared the same plate and spoon much to Ivy's dismay.

He was liking how close their bodies were that he could almost hear her rhythmic heartbeat. It was as though his lap was made exclusively for her to sit.
