<div style="text-align: justify;">Sissy held on to Shane for a moment or two, still a little sad for Barbara. It was horrible to even think of losing her child and husband - even though she didn't have children yet - and having to carry on and learn to live alone. Her mind was working on what she could do to help the woman, as Sissy didn't feel comfortable simply leaving Barbara alone once she returned home, but didn't want to intrude in the woman's life. She would have to talk to Shane about it later, probably at night, once they were alone in their bedroom.<br/><br/>Focusing back on Shane, Sissy nodded when he said the girl probably had nothing better to do. Having been around kids a lot, since her old neighborhood had lots of them, Sissy was used to kids that age doing stupid things when they were bored.<br/><br/>When Shane mentioned that the girl had probably read the book and figured out who he was, Sissy nodded. It did make sense to think like that. "Probably. She will probably drop it once she sees you don't mind", Sissy commented, smiling when Shane kissed her forehead and kissing his chin gently.<br/><br/>Sissy was happy that Shane had written his book. She had never even read it in full before going to his book signing with her sister, but she had read enough to know that he had lived through a lot of troubles. She had finished reading the book after meeting Shane, and knew what she was signing up for when she married him. Still, she had chosen this life and had never regretted it.<br/><br/>Shifting the conversation towards something else, as she usually did when Shane was stressed, Sissy focused on the present. "Now cheer up, honey", she encouraged, squeezing her husband before letting him go of the hug and resuming her work. "We'll have a cake ready very soon", she stated with a smile.<br/><br/>After this comment, she pinched Shane's arm gently. "Not before you go take a shower, though", Sissy joked, teasing her husband. "And I will personally check if you have washed behind your ears".</div>
