The red light of the sun was invading the whole valley.
Claire sat next to Owen on a bench outside the old van.
"Maisie is sleeping" she said with a soft voice.
Owen turned his look on her.
They looked into each other eyes for a while and Claire could feel how she was blushing more and more.
She wasn't ready for that because everything happened so fast.
"I guess we're a family now" he said interrupting her thoughts.
She nodded "Maybe it isn't what we wanted but I promise you Owen that I'll do anything possible to make it work"
Owen smiled, he put his left hand on her jay and touched her lips with a soft kiss.
Claire closed her eyes.
Then turned to look at each other.
"It's not bad here..." Claire said indicating around.
Owen smirked "I thought you hated this place"
"I didn't hate this place, I just..."
"It doesn't matter now" he said, then he  got up and entered in the old van. Claire followed him five minutes later without finding him.
She sat on a bed realizing that there were only one more bed and that she had to sleep with Owen.
She looked at the ceiling and then she started giggling.
Owen appeared in that moment with his hair completely wet and a towel around his hips.
Claire was embarrassed and Owen could notice it.
"The shower is over there... if you were asking" he said giggling
She blushed "I wasn't, I mean... thanks, I'll take a shower too"
Owen looked at her leaving.
He was back with that perfect woman.
"No more doing things you perfectly know she doesn't like, no more stupid comments, no more drinking beer all the day" he said to himself.
"You can do that because the reason is Claire" he added then.
He turned his eyes to Maisie who was sleeping in the bed upstairs.
He could see her from the small spiral staircase and he could also hear her breathing. He smiled in the dark and could realize how much he cared about that little girl.
