When the twins woke up, they saw Luther having tea in the garden with their grandma. They ran to him, beaming and giggling.
«Good morning, grandpa! Hello, grandma!»
Melanie chuckled, amused by their energy. She wasn't expecting them to be so active so early...
«Your parents came to fetch you,» she said.
«Where?» Scarlet inquired, looking around. She did see the cups on the table but no people.
Where was her mommy?
«They're preparing breakfast,» the woman explained, reaching out to caress Scarlet's face. She moved a lock of hair away from her face and smiled even broader when Scarlet didn't even wince. She was getting used to familiar gestures.
As for Jaden, he was standing there, his lips pursed, considering whether to run away and look for his parents or just wait for them to appear.
