After putting the paperwork and shadow commands on Oz and Lurch, Phillip immediately hurried back home to his family, booking a hotel room in the mountains. You all needed to unwind and relax, Philip from work, you from household chores, and your common baby from the hustle and bustle of the city. The fresh air was good for both the child and you two.

The journey to the Omni Mount Washington Resort from Washington itself took about eleven hours, so leaving early in the morning, you had to be on site around six in the evening.

The road was long, but that didn't stop you from enjoying the ride. The sky was overcast, hiding the sun, and the asphalt was wet from the recent drizzle. A pleasant melody was playing muted in the car interior as you drove past fields and mountains.

Phillip's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as he kept a close eye on the highway, which was only occasionally traversed by cars. He couldn't wait to get to the hotel and forget about all his work duties.

The man raised his head and looked in the mirror, which reflected your child sleeping peacefully under a blanket in a car seat.

"Well, apparently someone is very tired." a warm smile flashed across Graves' face. He put his hand on your thigh, squeezing it slightly.
