Chapter 176: Morning

The long day started early. Even though Nate usually went to work earlier, he had postponed it to eight not to overexert the kids and Lara. He could also work from home in the afternoon and avoid keeping Lara in the office without the need to.

However, to make it in time, they still needed to wake up early.

The first alarm to ring was Lara's. She turned it off after a whole five minutes of ringing. She rolled out of bed and collected her clothes with one eye closed. She was still sleeping when she walked out in the hallway.

Nate was waiting for her in the hallway, to check if she would feel disoriented after waking up in a foreign place and so early. The pups were still sleeping while she looked left and right, not sure where to go.

«Here,» Nate said, showing the direction to the bathroom.

She looked up at him, and her eyes swept over his body from head to toe. Only when she had taken a long and attentive glance, she walked away.
