Cuffs - II
For the first time in her life Adaline heard the person come in before seeing them.
She gasped when she saw a metal chain in between her aunt and Mr. Korr. She stared at that, horrified.
"Good lord!" She heard Jenna. Indeed, good lord.
Adeline stood up. "What happened?"
Korr smiled and answered her question, "Nothing dear one, Your aunt was being difficult." He pulled out the chair for Tessa and then sat down after she did. The chain was kept on the table instead of leaving it hanging in the air.
Adeline stood there as she saw the metal chain or handcuffs on both of their hands. Jaina cleared her throat, making Adaline look at her. She pointed to the seat and Adeline took it.
"Are you both okay?" She asked him in a quiet voice. What was the meaning of this? Why were they wearing handcuffs?
Also, her aunt was avoiding meeting anyone's eyes and Korr was smiling like an idiot.
What happened?
