Myra stand waiting for the kids to get their ice cream not wanting anything cold to eat, or maybe because she was still feeling upset. As Myra stand with her arms akimbo, a kid run into her pushing her slightly, the blueberry ice cream spilled on Myra's skirt. The kid stop staring up at her looking scared. Before she could say anything, a young man rush to her, grab the kid and apologize quickly. "It's okay" she said looking down at the stain. She will to wash it off quickly to avoid it becoming permanent. Myra watch the guardian as she supposed scold the child for running, she make to move but the man stop her grabbing her hand briefly. "Allow to pay for the cloth please, can I have your number?" he said taking out his phone. Myra look at the stain again, it was no big deal besides, the skirt wasn't that expensive so she decline. "No need, the stain shouldn't be so hard to get out" she said. Before the young man could speak again, little Frank grab her hand and Leslie glare with her hands by her side pouting angrily. "Who are you?" she questioned. "Are you trying to take Mummy away? Our Daddy is here" she said and point to Adam who is being pulled by Flynn to Myra's side. Seeing them, the young man quickly apologize again and walk quickly away with his kid. Myra look at Adam who is standing close and look away clearing her throat, she made to pull Leslie in their middle but she refused. "Brother Flynn will hold me" she said and go to him beside Adam who seem rather calm. Myra want to argue that it isn't safe but the three seem to have made the decision so she heaves and walk instead. With the kids walking by their side and the crowd around them, Myra find herself brushing hands with Adam and each time she look briefly at him. It must have been her wild imagination but it seem his fingers had intentionally touched hers so she made a clench and try to distract herself with any other thought. Now she regret not getting an ice cream, she could be munching on it right now, the cold sweet taste will be a good distraction. However, each time she glance at him, his gaze are on her like he has been staring all along. Little Flynn made a cute warning glare at his father and nudge at him to hold his Mummy's hands. They have manage to bring them this close and yet he is doing nothing to reconcile but remain gloomy like a child. "Daddy, hold Mummy's hand that way it is more safe" Leslie who just noticed point out. Myra flinch as Adam took her hand without hesitation and give a brief smile at Leslie. It is just a show-off in front of the kids "Do you want an ice cream?" he asked and Myra nod her head taking it and freeing her hand away from him. Myra bite on the ice cream taking a big bite and savoring the taste forgetting all about the butterfly she felt in her stomach as Adam grabbed her hand earlier. Adam watch again as she eats in a hurry and stop her for a bit, he brush off the stain on her chin with his thumb and lick it. Myra watch with her eyes widened for a moment, she turn away and continue to walk swallowing more ice cream as her heart start to race out of nowhere. It meant nothing, just an act for the kids She let herself calm down as they go for another fun ride, this time it require an adult with the kids so they all get in. Myra try to stay calm and protect the kids in case any of them gets scared but the moment the ride reach the highest, she grab onto Adam and scream out in fear. When her hands grasped him tightly, Adam pull her into a hug instead guessing that she is afraid of height. He only mean to ease her up but as the ride move back down, he find himself hugging her close and she embrace him back in her fear. When the ride finally stops, Myra open her eyes and pull away slowly from him pushing back her roughen hair. She get down and help the kids out feeling a bit of a headache and refuse to look at Adam for the rest of the evening. After another happy ride, they end the fun and drive back home. Tired from the little trip, they ate light dinner and together they both help put the three on bed for a rest but they refused to let them go. "I want Mummy and Daddy to lie down together with us" Frank requested and the other two nod their heads in agreement. Myra look at the bed, if five of them were to sleep there , it will be uncomfortable. "Why don't I stay with you?" she told them. She had already planned to sleep right next to them anyway. "No, I want to hug Mummy and Daddy to sleep" Leslie cries and jump up putting her arms around both of their necks, pulling them down. "Whatever you want sweetheart" Adam reply and carry her into her arms while she giggle delightfully. Myra stare at him in disbelieve and turn to the kids "The bed is not big enough for us all" she told them. "Let's sleep in you and Daddy's room then" Flynn suggest and they all jump on their feet. Myra try to stop them but they all run quickly out of the room leaving her no choice but to follow after them " I will go wash up now" Myra inform Adam who had just come out of the bathroom. She walk into the room minutes later to see all four of them lying down, thankfully, the kids would be sleeping in between them so it would not so uncomfortable. Taking the right side of the bed, she pull the duvet over herself, give Leslie who is beside her a quiet peck on the forehead before closing her eyes to sleep. She however get waken up by the hard comfortable surface which seem to be moving under her skin. Annoyed as she did not want to wake up yet, she open her eyes slightly. The piercing gray, sharp and striking eyes stare down at her. Myra open her eyes wide and see that she has her hands on his chest and a leg crossing his on the bed. "I'm uncomfortable" Myra flinch at the sound of his voice realizing it isn't a dream and push her body up in a confused state. What happened? She question herself.
