The Turn - Image edited using CANVA

At midnight, the crib made a noise. One screw was loose. Taking care not to wake the baby, she adjusted it. The boy turned around. With rolling eyes and a metallic voice, he said, "I loosened it." She's still on the floor.

It is my responsibility to share with you that, as a Spanish speaker, I have had to resort to the translator Yandex Translate to translate my original Spanish content into English. I also state that I have used the grammar-checking tool Grammarly.

¡Gracias por el apoyo!

Siempre a la orden mi estimado.

What a fantastic twist you've given the story!
I didn't expect it to be that way, and I loved it!

Thank you very much, friend @roswelborges, for your kind comment. I spent a considerable amount of time looking for the ending, until it finally appeared, and it seemed like a fitting conclusion, leaving the question of what would come next. With so few characters, a lot has to be done.
A hug.

It's normal to have doubts, but that ending was spectacular!
Thanks to you!
