Between Corrine making sure Bell had everything she needed and wasn’t feeling too sick from the pregnancy, and Wyatt double-checking that Axel didn’t need his help with the negotiations, it had taken them almost a full day to get on the road.

“Wyatt, darling, I was talking about the sunset,” she said. “It’s been a long time since I took a moment to appreciate one.”

“Oh,” Wyatt said, glancing up at the sky. “It’s beautiful.”

“Very,” she smiled.
