"I don't know how you do it H." Shay shook her head at Harry before lifting Sienna up higher on her hip.
Haley held onto her Dad's hand as they walked through their hotel door.
"Do what?" He hummed, quickly lifting Haley up and letting go so she landed on the bed. Her laughter echoed through the room.
"You've been non stop touring for a good couple years now. How are you not exhausted?" Shay chuckled but shot him a concerned look.
"You know me Peach. Always on the go." He smiled, taking off his shoes and then made his way over to sit at the edge of the bed.

Haley and Sienna were still at the window behind him, their hands smearing the glass but they were happily occupied while their parents talked.

He never broke eye contact though. He was always good at that. It intimated Shay a lot of the time. She would get super shy and look away. Not this time though, he needed her.
She was the one to sigh now. It broke her heart to see him so vulnerable. Her usual instinct would be to coddle him, pull him into a hug, hold him and just let him go through the motions. However, she knew a little bit of tough love would be much more successful.
