Sour heart

In kindergarten, Scarlet and Jaden were getting ready to get out. The girl was visibly excited: it was her turn to spend the day with Nate.

Jaden, on the other hand, was clearly unhappy. His pout was unmoving on his lips. He would spend the day with his mommy, at least, but he couldn't help but feel displeased.

«Hello,» Nate said, appearing from behind the door. «It's Tuesday, isn't it?»

Scarlet nodded, taking her backpack and walking to him.

«Oh, but last week I didn't spend any afternoon with Jaden,» he added.

He saw the boy, all alone in the corner, and he felt his heart melt. He wanted to cheer him up even though he had no idea how to do it.

Meanwhile, Scarlet had offered her hand already. Nate crouched down and looked her in the eye.
