7:30 AM, another horrible night's sleep caused by the endless crying of a baby. It was getting ridiculous at this point, almost every night since he’d moved in, you’d hear the cries. Because of the incessant crying, you’d started paying regular visits to his flat, constantly complaining about the noise. Today was no different, you marched right up to his door without even changing out of your robe. Once Simon opened the door, you’d began your usual string of complaints. However, instead of the usual apology, Simon spoke up; quite rudely.
“Well if you think it’s so bloody easy to calm a screaming newborn then you try it!” He replied, a bit louder than usual.
Though you were a bit shocked by his response, you’d decided that you’d take him up on his challenge. You gently took the crying baby in your arms and almost immediately, the baby had gone silent. Simon was in complete shock, a mixture of disbelief and relief in his eyes.
“What? How did- How the hell did you do that??” He exclaimed in shock, his eyes widening at the sight of his baby looking so comfortable in a stranger's arms.
