Nate ate his breakfast quietly.

Dakota gave Hunter his breakfast and arred laundry

Nate ate then did the dishes.

Dakota folded the laundry, put it away, and grabbed her keys. "I'm gonna run to the store. Text me "

Nate nodded, "Okay," he replied, cleaning up. It was weird, why was she so distant? They went from last night and cuddling to distant...

Dakota got all the groceries they needed and returned home. She'd really just needed a second to be alone and focus on something other than her family. She chose grocery shopping. When she returned home, she kissed Nate and put the groceries away

Nate just smiled at her softly when she came back in. If she needed space, he could give her that. He and Hunter were currently playing on the living room floor.

Dakota made lunch for them all and ate a small something but mostly to avoid any argument or explanation to Nate. She was honestly trying to drop 2eight simply because she didn't want him to lose interest

Nate ate his lunch, not speaking to her as she was in and out fairly quickly. Instead, he ate with Hunter. After lunch, he put Hunter down for his nap and then went out to the barn, going out for a trail ride on Jackie.
