Shirley was half asleep when she heard someone calling her name.
“Shirley.”
She blinked her eyes open and saw Abner's face, still feeling a bit groggy.
Abner pulled back his hand. “An hour's up.”
Shirley quickly adjusted her seat upright and patted her face.
She had a good nap, and upon checking the time, she realized an hour and forty minutes had passed, which surprised her.
“Didn’t I ask you to wake me in an hour?”
Abner looked down, seeing her sleeping so soundly; he just couldn’t bring himself to disturb her sleep.
“I’ll go grab a coffee. What would you like to drink?”
“Nothing for me.”
Shirley opened the car door, paused, and then asked, “What did you just call me?”
Abner's eyes shifted awkwardly. “You’re young; I didn’t want to call you ‘auntie’.”
She cracked a smile. “Alright, Shirley it is then.”
She returned with a cup of coffee for herself and a glass of milk for Abner.
“Have something to drink. If you need to use the restroom along the way, let me know in advance. I’ve still got four hours of driving ahead, and we probably won’t get home until around 7 p.m.”
“Okay.”
After taking a few sips of her coffee, she hit the gas again.
“Abner, don’t keep things bottled up inside. I’ve never raised kids, nor do I have a younger brother, so I might not always know how to communicate with you or guess what you’re thinking. So, if there’s something you want or something you want to do, just tell me, okay?”

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
