Mark Reed asked Valentine Teller to take a few days off to stay home and accompany his mom and their child.
Valentine Teller was obedient and sensible, and Mother Reed didn't find any faults.
After a busy day, Mark Reed returned home late at night.
When he got home, Valentine Teller was already asleep.
A small lamp was left on in the living room, and the warm orange glow was especially cozy whether viewed from afar or up close.
Mark Reed took a shower in the guest bathroom, then quietly entered the bedroom.
His movements inevitably woke Valentine Teller, who had been waiting for him. Until Mark Reed returned, Valentine couldn't sleep soundly and waited for him in a shallow dream.
"Mark..." Her voice was low and melodious, sounding particularly enchanting in the quiet night.
"Yeah." Only then did Mark Reed relax and stride to the bedside, lift the quilt, and slip in, pressing closely against Valentine Teller, seeking warmth.
