Nick looks at his wife sitting across from him on the blanket they spread out for their impromptu picnic and smiles. She's holding the twins, one on each leg, and Sammy is on Nick's lap.

"I wouldn't mind livin' here fulltime. Clean air, space t' roam an' a city not too far away."

He hands Sammy another orange slice.
