One evening, time seemed to slip away faster than usual.
Rosalynn gave Wayne his medicine, and he soon fell asleep.
However, she sat on the sofa in front of the master bedroom's bay window for the entire night, not closing her eyes for a moment.
When morning came, Wayne woke up to see Rosalynn packing luggage.
"Why didn't you wait for me to wake up? I could have helped." Wayne got up, leaning on his cane.
"I've already packed everything." Rosalynn turned to look at Wayne. "You woke up just in time. Go have breakfast with the kids; they'll be off to school soon."d2
"Okay." Wayne helped her up and they embraced, then he went downstairs after freshening up.
That morning's breakfast was particularly hearty.
Paige had risen early and was chatting amicably with Ivy.
Upon seeing Rosalynn and Wayne, she immediately vacated her seat.
It was a rare occasion for the four of them to sit together for breakfast.
Ivy, being the conscientious child she was, reminded her mom to bring the charger and to check their passports before leaving.
"I will." Wayne pulled out a napkin, gently wiping Ivy's mouth, "Listen to Paige and Baillie while we're away. When we return, we'll bring gifts for you both."
"Okay!" Ivy promised, and suddenly, she seemed to remember something. She put down her spoon, her little hand clutching her father's. "I don't need gifts, but you and mommy must come back safely."
In Ivy's young memory, whenever her parents went on business trips, there always seemed to be problems.
"Of course." Wayne nodded solemnly.
