" Good evening," he greeted. " Evening," I smiled slightly at him. " Is everything alright with her?" he asked, concerned for the little girl in my arms. " She's just a little sad," I answer. He frowned and nodded. He went past us to the bedroom. Hope stared at me, her eyes red. " Luna, I'm hungry," I smiled and kissed her forehead. " Supper is almost ready. Stay and watch another cartoon, okay?" I said gently to her. She nodded, and I put her on the sofa. I felt Khai's gaze but proceeded to the kitchen to make dinner. As I made food, I felt Khai stand behind me. " Are you eating with us?" I asked. He didn't answer for a moment but did, " Yes," I could sense his agitation even though I didn't glance at him. Why was he anxious? I turned to look where he was, but he left.
