“Again, thank you so, so, so much for doing this, even if the call was last minute,” Lucy breathes out, tugging on her coat in a messy haste from her husband’s ushering. For a second, you watch her struggle to get her second arm through its rightful sleeve before snatching the other end that keeps escaping the older woman’s grasp. The display earns a harmless chuckle from Samuel who snaps around to tap in his shoes when his wife tosses a glare his way. Their dynamic is so endearing to a level of admirable envy that you can’t help but smile a little. “You’re a lifesaver; I don’t know what we’d do without you,” she says.
Highly recommended.
