Chapter 255 : Something Beautiful
*Shelby*
The salty scent of the ocean breeze wafted through the open windows as I stood in the sunlit kitchen, feeling the warmth of the wooden floor beneath my bare feet. Michael and I were discussing our plans for a beach barbecue to welcome Lauren to the resort.
We hadn't seen her in much too long, and I wanted her to feel comfortable around us. The twins had been laid down for their afternoon nap, allowing us a moment of peace as the radio played soft melodies in the background.
"Alright, so we'll need some fresh seafood, veggies for grilling, and don't forget the drinks," I said, mentally going over the list of items we needed for the barbecue.
"Shelby, do whatever you want to do for the meal," Michael reassured me, his voice gentle and supportive. "You know you always have my full approval."
"Thank you, babe," I replied, grateful for his unwavering support. It meant the world to me that he was on board with all of my extra-ness. I hit the lottery in spouses, truly.
