"Katie!"
The woman paused with her hand on the doorknob of the children's room.
"What is it, Suzie? I don't have much time at the moment as I need to -"
"I need your help on-"

Inside the room, Ingrid heaved a sigh of relief and removed the blankets that covered her head, her heart thumping so loud in her chest.
'I am so glad that she did not come in. Wh-at w-ould I have d-one? Sa-mantha is so s-mart to have ar-ranged the pillows like that. Even I believe that she is asleep!'
On the other side of the estate and in the North wing, Alex walked up to his wife in their room and gave her a back hug.
"I haven't seen you for days! It feels like forever," he said and kissed her hair.
