Eve gazed at his messy hair & the wrinkled t-shirt he had thrown on with a pair of shorts; Paul’s jaw was unshaven, & his feet bare, however he looked disheveled & gorgeous, so utterly at home in his oversized body that making baby cereal seemed as masculine as growing a beard.
The sweet mundane moment was interrupted by a nasty noise that, separate from a doubt, came from the heating equipment.
Their calls to the heating company had grown frequent in the past three years, & the HVAC professional was almost like family. The heating repair had become a norm in their house, & they had long given up on boiler maintenance due to frequent breakdowns. Paul was not distraught about it because they were remodeling their home, which would include a new electric heater, then in the meantime, however, they had to use a portable heating unit when the unit failed, and quality heating would be integral to their remodeling project; hence, they had to consult a heating dealership, but after the consultation, they opted for an electric heater. The HVAC installation would be much easier during the remodeling, not to mention the contemporary fireplace they wanted to add. The heating contractor delivered the HVAC unit a week later. The heating worker had also advocated them to buy a new control unit. Two months later, their home looked like a odd house, beatrice, their one-year-old daughter, had more room to saunter since she had started walking. Paul would no longer bump his head when going to the bathroom or either of the study rooms! Lucille, their other daughter, was secretly beaming at her newfound family.
