"C—Carry him? Can I?" Henry asked dumbly. He hesitated while staring at the curious boy who seemed to have slowly lost his fear of his father.
"Well, why don't we ask Theo instead?" Kate said. She turned her head towards Theo and asked, "Don't you think your Papa is very tall?"
"Un, big, tall…" Theo nodded.
"So, do you want to fly with your Papa?"
"… um…" Theo nodded again.
"See? He wants you to carry him. Here, I will teach you how to," Kate said as she taught Henry how to hold a toddler without hurting him.
Henry learned seriously before he accepted Theo in his arms.
The boy didn't struggle as he moved from Kate's hand to Henry's, which rarely happened because Theo disliked getting separated from his Mama.
Theo kept staring at Henry with his sparkling green eyes. They had the same eyes, but Henry's eyes were already shrouded with gloom and the harsh reality of life.
