Verna could say one thing for owning her own midwifery practice, it had given her the cleaning skillset of a maid, and though she despised cleaning personally, if it made things easier for Connor by setting his mind at ease, she'd do it all day. She dusted everything thoroughly, and finished up with the vacuum for Connor, insisting he rest his feet. She had the floor spotless after a few minutes, and turned the vacuum off after a while to let him inspect her work. She seized the chance to slide an arm around him with a broad smile, "Hey," she murmured in his ear, "you're amazing, you know that right?" so she was hoping to distract him from cleaning, but at least she was sweet about it.
