Gray returned home just as the sky began to turn orange. The breeze was cooler now, hinting that evening was near. When he left their house, he was carrying nothing but the review sheets that were now with Chloe.
However, now, he was carrying a lot of bags, not with files to be reviewed, but rather with snacks, drinks, and groceries. On the way home from the Lancaster estate, he made a short stop at the nearby supermarket.
He didn't buy a lot—just food enough for a week, some household items, and of course, a bag of chips and two medium-sized tubs of ice cream.
He also threw in a few candy bars and drinks that he knew Lily liked. It wasn't often they got to enjoy these little things. But tonight, they would.
It was Friday, after all. He didn't have a tutoring job tomorrow, and Lily didn't have school. And with the coming days likely to be busier, especially with the grocery branch and Chloe's midterm, he wanted to relax for a little.
