Jaden and Scarlet felt something was wrong. They felt it deep in their heart. Then, they finally sensed that their mommy was nearby.
«Mommy,» they said at the same time, in sync just like they used to before meeting Nate.
Scarlet let her toys fall and turned away from the group she was playing with, and Jaden stopped solving his puzzle. The boy was a little tired after playing ball with his friends, but, suddenly, new energy filled his muscles. He could run out together with his sister.
«Where is mommy?» Scarlet asked while stepping towards the section with the smaller kids. «Why is she here?»
«We're not supposed to walk in there,» Jaden reminded her.
«But mommy!»
«It might be a mistake of ours. She's with Nate at this hour, isn't she? Why coming here?»
Jaden patted on her shoulder, trying to make his sister reason. Just like Nate said, he should stop her before causing trouble instead of just covering for her.
