Evening
I stayed closer to Sweetie and the children. Acting like these cubs weren't mine wasn't fun, but wanting to protect her and them without what she felt was 'obligation'? It brought me closer than I could have ever been after everything that happened.
She stayed near me all day and into the evening. There was always someone on the crew around. There was help at anytime. Sunny had accidentally got a splinter in her hand from an old door frame as it pressed against it. One simple ow, and people were there with antiseptic, a bandage, and tweezers. It was all over and done with in less than a minute.
"Will you tell me something about where you are from?" Sweetie asked me. "Something different between them? We are going there if we. No, when we reach the weekend, right?"
