john b and dove arrived home with ward and sarah that afternoon after john b was discharged from the hospital.

after parking and getting out of the car, they walked up to tannyhill and standing outside of the house was none other than mary.

"m-mom?" dove furrowed her eyebrows.

john b dug his fingernails into his hands and clenched his jaw. sarah stood behind him and ward next to him.

"hi, baby doll." mary smiled and hugged her daughter.

"what're you doing here?" dove asked.

"well, i was havin' problems with...with the coke again and luke was hurtin' me, so now ward's helpin' your poor mother out. ward cameron's kind heart is helpin' me and you out. and...and john b..."

dove looked to john b who had anger written all over his face, then back to mary.

"good. i'm glad you're getting help, mom." dove half-smiled.

"me too, sugar pie, me too." she nodded.

"sarah, why don't you show dove and john b to their rooms. i have to talk to mary about something." ward said with a smile.

"sure, daddy." sarah smiled. "right this way, kiddos."

the two followed sarah in, john b giving mary one last look before disappearing inside with the two girls.

"you're still an amazing liar, mary." ward whispered.

"oh, i know, hon. i always will be." mary winked.

ward chuckled. "wow. you really know how to make my heart flutter. with your winking."

mary giggled. "what're you gonna do about it? your pretty little wife ain't home."

ward pulled her in and gave her a soft kiss. mary kissed back and smiled into the kiss.

mary then pulled away and smirked. "now, you'll be gettin' a lot more of those if you keep up with our deal now."

ward chuckled as she moseyed her way back into the house, swaying her hips.
