Chapter 209

• Vincent chuckled, a warm sound that filled the room. He removed his jacket, casually draping it over the recliner, and kicked off his shoes. Slowly, he made his way to the bed, observing as Claire scooted back to make room for him to lie down beside her.
• As he sank into the welcoming softness of the mattress, Vincent felt an immense sense of relief wash over him. It was as if his tired muscles were shouting with joy, grateful for this moment of well-deserved rest.
• “Damn, this feels good.” He sighed and felt Claire’s arms slide over his chest, as she pulled herself closer to him before snuggling him like a Koala.
