Theyâd done it many times.
Suddenly, the bedroom door swung open, and Alexis hobbled in.
She was hugging a pillow and rubbing the sleep off her eyes.
âDaddy?â
Everything went completely still.
Waylen exhaled with difficulty and looked down at Rena.
In a low, strained voice, Rena said, âGo check on her.
â
Waylen darted his eyes to Alexis and then looked back at Rena.
His Adamâs apple bobbed.
Taking another deep breath, he put on his bathrobe, got out of bed, and picked up Alexis.
Alexis crept into Waylenâs arms.
She had a scary dream and was still half-asleep.
She held onto Waylenâs neck tightly, as if she was afraid that someone or something would grab her and take her away.

Waylen lulled Alexis gently and then looked at the woman beside him.
In a hoarse voice, he said, âGo take a shower.
You will feel uncomfortable if you donât.
â
Rena blushed a little.
She put on his shirt and sneaked into the bathroom.
In the dimly-lit master bedroom, Alexis groaned softly in her fatherâs arms.
Waylen fished out a fairy tale book from the bedside table drawer and read it to Alexis.
His voice was soft and the little girl slowly quieted down.
Rena walked out of the bathroom and saw this scene.
She couldnât help feeling as if her heart was melting.
Her reconciliation with Waylen did have a lot to do with Alexis.
Waylen had done so much for their daughter.
It used to be impossible to get Waylen to stop in the middle of s@x.
Rena dried her hair with a towel and sat on the edge of the bed.
Stroking Alexisâ hair, she whispered, âDoes she always wake up like this in the middle of the night?â
Waylen put the fairy tale book aside.
There was some depth in his eyes.
After along time, he chuckled, âAre you worried that sheâs always going to interrupt us while weâre getting busy?â
Rena turned red as a tomato.
âYou know thatâs not what I meant!â
