Daniel Cooper only had a light nap, then opened his eyes. But seeing the warmth in his arms, he couldn't bear to get up, greedily enjoying this rare peaceful moment.
Uncertain how much time had passed, there was a knock on the door. Daniel glanced at the time, thinking it should be Mason Hawkins returning with Carl.
So he gently got up, silently walked to the door wearing soft-soled slippers, and reached out to open it.
As he was about to say "Good boy!", a fist suddenly came through the partially opened door. Daniel's eyebrows furrowed, his eyes sharp as he dodged to the side. Although his face was not hit, his chest was struck heavily.
The door was immediately flung open. He hooked his long fingers around, stepped out with his long legs, and fixed his narrowed eyes on the man outside the door.
He chuckled, "What is Mr. Shane up to?"
