He rested his face against her shoulder, inhaling the delightful scent of her body, and soon drifted off to sleep.
While cradling him, Lucinda gently patted his back, lost in her own thoughts.
Sonny noticed that Nathan had fallen asleep. He consciously slowed down the car and drove steadily.
About thirty minutes later, the car came to a steady stop in the courtyard of the Payne family’s residence.

Lucinda lowered her head. She then fixed her gaze on Nathan, who was peacefully sleeping in her arms. Her heart ached.
“I want to experience just how tired he was when he carried me all the way from the Hernandez family’s house. And he’s ill.”
