Chapter 86: Ocean - Getting Permission To Temporarily Live With Makai Part 2

"Well, I am glad that you approve." Makai spoke from next to me. He had been sitting with his hands in his lap while he listened, but at this point he brought his arm up and took my hand, holding it tight. "I hope you know how much I care about Ocean, and how much I want what is best for him."

It sounded like Makai was using this as a segway to bring up the other reason why we were here; the real reason we were here.

"Of course, Kai. I can see it in the way that you two look at each other. I am happy that he has found you." Mom was still beaming and sounding cheery. I had a feeling that the cheeriness wasn't going to last. I wasn't ready. I couldn't do this. But I was out of time, Makai was already telling them.

"Well, there is something else about Ocean that you don't know. This one I am very sure that neither of you know about."

"Oh, really? And what might that be?" Dad looked at him with a curious look as he thought about Makai's words.
