➹THIRD PERSON PERSPECTIVE➷

✾March 11th, 2013- 16:46: Sheffield✾

Alistair thoughtfully purchased various clothing items for the twins, including matching sets and individual pieces. His dedication to caring for both babies independently, without the assistance of a partner, was widely admired and appreciated by lots of people.

At this moment, he is feeding Ophelia while Indigo is soundly asleep in her crib. She is blowing bubbles with her mouth, and the cutest snoring sounds can be heard every time she breathes. In other news, Lorenzo will be returning home from work in half an hour, and Alistair has prepared dinner for him. All that is left to do is heat it up and enjoy it.

Alistair attentively observed Ophelia's face and noticed her eyes drooping. He gently stopped feeding her and decided to burp her before placing her in the cot. With a few gentle pats on her back, she eventually let out a burp. Alistair smiled with satisfaction and proceeded to the bedroom to carefully place her in the cot.

He noticed that Indigo was still sleeping, and he couldn't help but smile. Taking care of infants is undoubtedly a challenging task, yet Alistair has demonstrated his capability in handling the responsibilities entrusted to him, and he is justifiably proud of his accomplishments.

Alistair let out a yawn as he stretched his limbs and made the decision to return to the sitting room, where he would recline on the couch and indulge in a much-needed slumber.

<Twenty-Seven Minutes Later>

Lorenzo had recently parked his vehicle in the parking garage. He proceeded to take the elevator to his residence. As he stood outside his door, he searched his bag for his keys. Initially, he feared that he had misplaced them, but fortunately, he discovered them in the pocket of his jacket.

He let out a sigh of relief and swiftly unlocked the door. After removing his shoes and putting on the slippers that were thoughtfully provided at the entrance, Lorenzo made his way to the sitting room, where he found the twins peacefully sleeping on Alistair's chest.

Lorenzo approached the couch cautiously and observed that Alistair was also asleep. He smiled gently and took the blanket from the back of the couch to cover Alistair and his daughters. Then, he made his way into the kitchen. As he was looking around, his eyes came to rest on a sticky note that had been attached to the refrigerator. Lorenzo carefully removed it and began to read it.

"I have prepared your dinner and placed it on the top shelf of the refrigerator. It is neatly wrapped in cling film. I trust you will enjoy it. Best regards, Alistair." Lorenzo couldn't help but smile slightly upon reading Alistair's note. He discreetly placed the note in his trouser pockets and proceeded to open the refrigerator to retrieve his dinner, intending to heat it and enjoy it.

Alistair had thoughtfully prepared his signature dish, Boeuf Bourguignon, for Lorenzo. He sincerely hopes that there are no ingredients in the dish that Lorenzo may dislike or be allergic to, as that would be unfortunate, and he would not want to cause any discomfort

In just a matter of minutes, the Boeuf Bourguignon reached an ideal temperature. Lorenzo inhaled the aroma of the dish and let out a contented sigh. He took a spoonful and savored exquisite flavours, expressing his delight with a soft moan.

Alistair is a remarkably skilled individual in the culinary arts.

A few minutes later, Lorenzo was organizing the kitchen when he noticed a broken glass shard under the cupboard near the pantry. He realized it must have been from one of the beer bottles he broke a few months ago. The realisation of the amount of alcohol he had consumed due to heartbreak made him feel deeply remorseful.. 

With a sigh of regret, he bent down to retrieve the shard. Unfortunately, without proper protection, the shard inflicted a deep cut, causing blood to spread across the floor rapidly. Lorenzo, who suffers from hemophobia, fainted at the sight of the gruesome scene and struck his head on the kitchen island as he fell to the ground. 

Lorenzo is in urgent need of medical assistance due to severe blood loss. Alistair, however, remains in a deep sleep and does not hear the loud noise from the kitchen. It is uncertain when he will awaken and find Lorenzo unconscious.

Would it be possible for him to wake up in time to assist Lorenzo, or will the opportunity have passed?
