Apt 14249, evening, Deacon and Charlie.
Nia had been happy enough all day but towards evening had become clinging and a little more demanding than normal.
Rather than fight it, because they were both feeling subdued, Deacon and Charlie had made the evening a family one and had cooked and eaten and played together until Nia was so sleepy she had dozed off across their laps.
Charlie had seen no point in waking her just to bathe her so gave her sleeping face a quick wash, sat her on her potty then tucked her up in bed.
He watched Deacon stoop over her to kiss her goodnight, smiled as she smiled at the brush of his stubble, then went to the kitchen to get a couple of beers.
He felt that they had earned them.
