The twins' staying up all day turned out to be a blessing at night. They had followed Laura willingly when she told them to go to bed and were out like candlelight before she was out of the room.
It was soon morning and time for the twins to leave. Her heart ached at their departure, just as she anticipated. The twins, though, took it very lightly. It seemed they were very eager to leave. It kinda hurt.
Laura told her they were only eager to show off their new toys back home. The twins wouldn't do anything after breakfast but look out the window.
Everyone but Desmond was gathered in the parlor waiting for Claire. A car entered the front yard.
"Look! It's Dad!" Kira exclaimed.
Timothy? Sam felt an unexpected sense of dread. She had told Desmond to ignore him the last time they met.
Timothy stormed through the door.
"Daddy!" The children called out delightfully.
Their excitement died down when they spotted his foul mood.
"Why did you bring them here?" He roared at the nanny.
