Meanwhile, Kyra and Oliver returned to the house only to see the twins whispering to each other.
"It makes me sad when I think of their mother. She was like a sister to me." Kyra said, her eyes turning gloomy.
"She was a kind soul. She was the elder sister who stayed by my side when my parents died." Oliver said, sighing sadly.
"She took care of me as well," Kyra told him. Her sister in law was the one who was helping her to find her savior and not only that but she has helped her in many other ways.
"I want to return that favor by looking after Addison and Aiden." she added.
"Looks like our thoughts match as well." Oliver said with a smile.
Kyra smiled in return, however, she couldn't forget what happened earlier.
They almost kissed and she still couldn't comprehend how it happened. It was as if they were different people when they were alone together.
Now, there will be no end to the teasings her best friend will throw at her.
"I actually wanted to take the twins back to their grandparents' house. Their grandfather asked them to bring them back." Oliver said after a few moments.
"Uncle already called to inform me about that. Don't worry, I convinced him to let the twins stay." Kyra replied.
Oliver nodded his head.
He wondered why his godfather/uncle asked him to go then.
However, he doesn't regret coming here, anyway.
Thanks to spending some time with Kyra, his sullen and bad tempered mood has not only returned back to normal but has also made him feel happy and revitalised.
"Then, I will go now. It's already late at night." Oliver said, turning to look at her.
Kyra nodded her head. "I will walk you out.", she added, not wanting to miss even a second they could spend with each other.
Oliver gladly agreed. He wants to spend as much time as possible with her.
After he gave a good night hug to the twins, Kyra and Oliver leisurely walked to his car.
Both had smiles plastered on their faces and their eyes were twinking with ecstasy.
"I will meet you tomorrow then.", Oliver said.
As he agreed to help her with her research, they decided to meet at her house everyday after his shift was done.
A perfect way to see each other even when she is on leave.
"Hm.", Kyra hummed in agreement but pouted a little when she realized that she had to wait for another twenty four hours or so to see him again.
It made her sad but she knows that she would be asking for too much if she asks for any more favors from him.
"Don't worry. I won't bail like before." Oliver said, when he saw a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
He could only assume that she is sad because he didn't keep his word of visiting here.
Only if he could read her mind, he would be elated to know that she is thinking the same as him.
Subconsciously, his hand reached for her head and he patted it affectionately.
She looked cute when she pouted that he couldn't resist doing that. Even his self control will be at a disadvantage in front of her.
Kyra was taken off guard but his warm, doting gesture only made her smile and she nodded her head excitedly.
Oliver let out a short laugh seeing her excitement.
"It's a bye for now, then.", he said looking into her eyes.
"Rest well. Hope to see you return to your work as soon as possible,", he added, remembering how much he missed her at the hospital.
"Are you missing me that much?" Kyra tried to joke.
"I am.", Oliver seriously said, his voice hinting at the longingness.
But before Kyra could come out of her daze, Oliver had already driven away. She didn't expect him to admit it so openly!
A full blown smile made its way to her lips and her cheeks flushed.
"This is exciting,", she giggled like a little fangirl, patting her red cheeks as she walked back to her house.

While Kyra and Oliver made a little progress in taking the baby steps, some people were not happy with it.
In the next house, Daniel sat at the floor to ceiling window, frowning deeply. It is evident that he is not happy with what he witnessed now. Beside him, there was a military binoculus chucked away on the table.
"So, they will be meeting daily!!" he muttered, pulling off the ear piece and throwing it away on the table. He installed a hidden microphone in the antic vase he has gifted Kyra on her house warming party which is now placed in Kyra's garden patio.
He has heard what Oliver and Kyra spoke now and he has also seen them using the advanced binoculars.
So, he didn't miss the part where they were sitting closely and flirting. Not to mention that they almost kissed and, if not for Sofia's intervention they would have successfully done so.
Daniel sighed and slumped back, taking a long breath.
He has tried to scare off Oliver from meeting Kyra and he almost thought that it is as easy as this.
"It's just my wishful thinking! Breaking them off is no easy task" Daniel said with a scoff.
